Electric concrete? Cars charge while driving with new road technology
Concrete with a magic ingredient could see electric cars (electric vehicles or EVs) of the future charging while they drive on specially built roads.
A Perth-based company, Talga, has created a graphene-enhanced concrete offers high levels of electrical conductivity. It’s already used in underfloor heating and lightning protection, however, it could also transform the way EVs charge.
Talga is exploring how electrically conductive concrete can enable wireless charging of EVs when parked and in motion. This mobile charging pad technology could then be developed into a cost-effective roll out of the material in new roads around the world.
