Soon to be launched later this summer in North Logan, Utah, the NSF-funded engineering research center Advancing Sustainability through Powered Infrastructure for Roadway Electrification (Aspire); has partnered with ElectReon to install dynamic wireless charging technology at Utah State University’s test track to showcase the United States its smart roads technology.
This demonstration comes a year before ElectReon is set to install its first smart streets in Detroit, Michigan, partnering with the Michigan Department of Transportation.
ElectReon plans to also showcase their technology in the Utah Inland Port Authority (Salt Lake City), the Central Florida Expressway (Orlando, Florida), and other parts of the nation at later dates.
Based in Israel, ElectReon helps provides wireless charging solutions, that offer end-to-end charging infrastructure and services, needed for shared/public and commercial fleet operators and consumers.
This summer’s demonstration will showcase a very small strip of this road (less than one tenth of a mile), where side-charging hardware, along with charging communication systems and power management, will be installed on a Kenworth truck.
Smart Cities World additionally explained, ‘The partners aim for the site to function as a live demonstration facility for departments of transportation, other government officials, current and potential industry partners, as well as Electreon’s potential and prospective partners and clients, to experience its wireless charging as the technology moves to market deployment in the U.S.’
Furthermore, ElectReon explained that this project will at some point also include more auto manufacturers and vehicle integration services.
Aspire is excited to work with Electreon in demonstrating the electrified roadways of tomorrow.
The groundbreaking work that we are doing here exemplifies our commitment to creating solutions to the issues that are preventing us from electrifying transportation.
We believe that our findings will provide the blueprint for the nation’s path to deep electrified vehicle adoption and resulting energy, economic and environmental benefits through low-cost ubiquitous charging infrastructure.
Regan Zane, center director at Aspire.
So far, Electreon has already demonstrated its dynamic wireless charging technology in four operational pilots across Europe and now we are thrilled to kick off our first US-based deployment with USU’s Aspire, displaying the viability of our in-road wireless charging infrastructure.
We are excited at the prospect of advancing sustainable charging technology in hopes of supporting the US movement toward an all-electric future.
This project will allow us to engage with partners and clients to develop pilot and commercial projects in the whole nation and will allow for ongoing testing in advance of US projects on public roadways, including the recently announced project in Detroit.
Stefan Tongur, vice president business development for Electreon in North America; who also explained that the company and ASPIRE are also partnering with Kiewit Corporation, one the largest North American construction and engineering companies.

But, as you can see, for these future smart cities, quite literally everything needs to be electrified, including you: but the media has not made the public clear about that reality, yet.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

So, it’s going to come down to walking and/or horses. And not even like the Amish driving their buggies along the highways & suffered tax free because they bring so much tourism mula, & provide an appearance at least of ‘freedom of religion’, ‘speech’, ‘association’….when, really, not so much. Gonna have to go off-road. Back to the highways & byways, hedgerows & forest glens….scratch: highways & byways.
