This Florida highway will wirelessly charge electric cars on the go

Daily commuting ranks among life’s tediums but one day Central Florida drivers will get a charge out of motoring on a new highway in south Lake and west Orange counties.

An initiative of the Central Florida Expressway Authority, State Road 516 aims to bring the future of driving to the present.

“This is the first brand new highway having the system from the beginning,” said Sergio Perez of Enrx, a company in Norway specializing in wireless energy and hired by the expressway authority. “It is a world premiere.”
