A new magnetized road surface will pave the way to in-road wireless EV charging, with Indiana leading the charge (photo courtesy of Magment).
The dream of an in-road, wireless EV charging system is not so dreamy any more. Indiana is among the states developing systems that will enable electric vehicles to recharge while in motion. That’s the sort of convenience that will help more drivers make the switch from gasmobiles to electric drive, … [continued]
The investment will support future vehicles, including EVs, built at GM assembly plants across the country
Electric school buses are experiencing rapid growth in the United States, with a nearly 10-fold increase in commitments by school districts and fleet operators in the past year. Thirty-eight states have now committed to procure more than 12,000 electric school buses. In the first half of 2022, several states took important action … [continued]
In a brilliant case of epic timing, MISO announced a new transmission line plan for more renewable energy in the US midsection earlier this week, just two days before Senate Democrats reached an agreement on the new climate bill.
There’s been a disgusting development in Indiana that not only hurts the environment and national security, but could cost middle-class homeowners (and voters!) thousands of dollars per Indiana household. It’s called net metering, a practice that allows individuals who own rooftop solar to “sell back” extra, unneeded electricity back to … [continued]

INDOT, Purdue to Develop Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging Solution for Highway Infrastructure
When we think of cars and computer vision, the obvious applications are all on the car. Lane sensing, obstacle sensing, and seeing other cars enables driver assistance, and eventually autonomous vehicles. But what if someone did the opposite, and enabled the road to see the cars? That’s exactly what Volkswagen … [continued]
