Roads That Charge: Electreon's Underground Wireless System Lets EVs Power Up While Driving

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – April 14, 2026 – Electric vehicle charging is undergoing a fundamental rethink.

The technology is already live in multiple real-world projects — including a UPS delivery depot in Detroit, a 23-bus depot near Tel Aviv, a highway corridor in France, and a bus rapid transit network in Norway. For fleet operators and public transport authorities, it removes the need to schedule dedicated charging stops entirely.
