🚙THE CAR BATTERY CHARGING ROAD⚡ Consider a road that has the ability to charge your vehicle as you drive. Doesn't that sound like science fiction? What if I told you, though, that this is now a case? Presenting the Car Battery Charging Road, a ground-breaking piece of infrastructure that is altering our perception of transportation. It functions by converting the kinetic energy generated by moving automobiles into electrical energy by means of particular tiles located beneath the road surface. The energy is then converted to a battery, which powers an electric motor to propel the vehicle ahead. Among the benefits are decreased greenhouse gas emissions, lower operating expenses, and increased energy efficiency. But that is not all. This technology could also revolutionize the way we plan our cities. Imagine a society in which roads serve as a source of renewable energy in addition to being a means of transportation. 📌Unshared knowledge will vanish!

💭 Physics-based battery management models running in real-time can optimise charging without compromising durability, writes Dr Christian Korte, Head of Software and Engineering, Breathe Battery Technologies. "While vehicle manufacturers (OEMs) can go to great lengths to try and explain the benefits of a particular type of electric motor architecture, the design of the windings found in the stator, the type of battery cells they’ve developed and the type of Lithium-ion chemistry within them – all of which are important technical features – what customers really want to know is: what’s the range, and how fast does it charge?"
