Wireless Charging Highway Completes Testing on Germany's A9: EVs Charge While Driving at 92% Efficiency
Germany's Federal Transport Ministry completes 2-kilometer wireless charging road segment testing on the A9 highway near Munich, achieving 92% charging efficiency for EVs traveling at 120 km/h.
Germany's Federal Transport Ministry published A9 highway wireless charging road test results on July 1, 2028. The 2-kilometer test segment north of Munich features electromagnetic induction coil arrays embedded beneath the road surface. Testing showed that EVs equipped with receiver coils achieved 200 kW charging power at 120 km/h with 92% efficiency. Driving the 2-kilometer segment for approximately 1 minute adds about 3.3 kWh of charge—roughly 20 km of additional range. Germany's Federal Transport Minister said: "If wireless charging systems are deployed across all highway lanes, EV range anxiety will become a thing of the past." Sweden, Israel, and China are also advancing similar dynamic wireless charging road projects.
