Rapid charging speeds are getting faster all the time. There are already a few cars capable of 400kW, while BYD’s Flash Charging tech supplies a whopping 1,500kW. But even the latter system involves stopping, plugging in and waiting for about 10 minutes. Honda, meanwhile, is envisioning a future in which you won’t have to stop at all.
The Japanese manufacturer is working with The Taisei Corporation and its Taisei Rotec subsidiary on wireless, road surface-integrated charging technology that’s capable of keeping an electric car topped up as it drives along. This isn’t a new idea, but the Honda project stands out firstly because of the potential output of up to 150kW, intended to charge up the especially large batteries of electric commercial vehicles on the go.
Another notable aspect is a planned test on a public road from April 2027 onwards. The Tateyama Expressway in Chiba, Japan is the chosen site, although the assessment will be preceded by testing at the Taisei Group’s Future Technology Field in Fukushima Prefecture starting later this year.
Each of the three companies will provide one key piece of the puzzle. It’s Honda’s job to sort the power receiver and transmitter units, while Taisei is developing the DC power supply system, and Taisei Rotec will work on the technology necessary for sticking all of this into the asphalt.

They have problems providing electricity already. Lining highways with power lines is a stretch. Would have to go with atomic power plants-something they oppose.
Amazing. Thanks for posting.
It sounds wonderful. Revolutionary. The only one small problem is that anyone who walks on the road gets fried to a crisp . . . . .
One step — charge your car, get your cancer.
What happens if there are lightening bolts...is the car a key to a bolt jolt?
Tesla cyber cabs have a similar charging system. When the battery runs low, the cybercabs go home and back over the charger and get recharged.
My little Roomba robot does the same thing
It does bring new meaning to “road kill”! ;-)
>>The only one small problem is that anyone who walks on the road gets fried to a crisp . . . . .
On the bright side, that would cut down on leftist protests blocking the road...
It’s all good until the road develops potholes, or needs to be repaved. How much additional will the taxpayers have to cough up to pay the bill?
Because I guess road paving and maintenance don't cost enough already?
Police departments are interested in this technology as it gives them an enhanced ability to track drivers. The goal is to issue tickets and collect fines without having to worry about angry citizens destroying traffic cameras.
The faster the charge the more power you need , like 100 times more power , where will that come from ? LOL

Sounds to me like the power is generated within the car, not absorbed from a road.
For folks that want to get cancer associated with electromagnetic radiation.

And it’ll get you on the list of registered s e x offenders in Texas - just for doing what nature demands. Most owned fuel station rest rooms (IF there’s not an “out of order” sign on the door) are third world Petri dishes. Often wet the hot water turned off and soapless dispensers. But the raunchy prophylactic machines seem to always be full.
It’s my understanding that the hi-speed charging shortens battery life. Or is that what they want? Might create battery sales, which might also discourage buyers. I know I won’t be interested as a buyer in any way.
