Construction on the first EV charging highway is set to begin this month in Indiana, and it'll wirelessly charge any EVs driving on it.
Purdue University and the Indiana Department of Transportation are coming together for quite the partnership. The two groups will band together to create the first EV charging highway, and construction on a test segment will start this month. According to the news post shared on Purdue University's website, the highway testbed will be built on U.S. Highway 231/U.S. Highway 52 in West Lafayette.
Construction on the test bed begins on April 1, but the actual testing of the components won't come until next year, most likely. A few other states have also started testing roads that can wirelessly charge EVs, but this will be the first EV-charging highway. The engineers at Purdue say it's a unique challenge, especially since it needs to be able to charge heavy-duty trucks, too.
