Detroit Today: Detroit just built America’s first electric charging road

  • Date: 12/14/2023

Detroit is now home to America’s first stretch of road that wirelessly charges electric vehicles.

Located on 14th Street in Corktown near Michigan Central Station, the short stretch of road has been equipped with technology from the company Electreon, which allows inductive-charging coils embedded in the street to wirelessly transfer electricity to electric vehicles equipped with Electreon receivers.

The project was a collaboration between four primary agencies — the Michigan Department of Transportation, the City of Detroit, Newlab at Michigan Central and Electreon, and officials say it’s the first test of the roads in a real-world situation.
