The state of Indiana is testing a stretch of road built specifically to charge electric car batteries. VOA correspondent Kane Frabaugh was in Lafayette to see firsthand how this technology is transforming the way electric vehicles are charged. Engineers hope that the 400-meter segment on Highway 52 near Lafayette, Indiana, will be the starting point that will transform the future of electric car charging. VOA spoke with Mr. Aaron Brovont, an electrical engineer with Purdue University. “We are installing a prototype of a dynamic wireless power transfer system. In other words, remote charging”. The engineer explains that this technology that the team from Purdue University is developing is like wireless phone charging. “It's basically the same idea,” says the engineer, but on a much larger scale. The cable system installed on Highway 52 aims to charge the vehicles' batteries as they travel to their destination. “The long-term goal is for electrified highways that keep the batteries of high-tonnage trucks fully charged as they travel,” says engineer Aaron Brovont. “At the moment we are placing charging equipment in corridors with high truck traffic.” Civil engineering professor John Haddock designed and tested charging coils that go under asphalt at a Perdue University …
