Honda to test wireless charging road on Japanese expressway
Honda will conduct a demonstration of dynamic wireless power transfer technology that supplies electricity to electric vehicles while they are driving on a Japanese expressway. Its R&D unit and partners developed a magnetic coupling system that sends power from devices embedded in the road to receivers under a vehicle. From fiscal 2027, a public road test will run on a 300-metre stretch near the Kimitsu rest area on the E14 Tateyama Expressway in Chiba.
