This wireless electric road system (wERS) lets EVs charge wirelessly using inductive charging. Copper coils embedded beneath the road surface transfer power to buses, trucks and other EVs as they travel.
“Electreon’s wireless charging system is a real game changer,” says Infineon evp Dominik Bilo, “our customised SiC power modules efficiently convert electrical energy to charge vehicles on the go.”
The system connects to the power grid, activating vehicles when they’re above the coils. Infineon’s customised SiC modules convert the energy that comes from the power grid for seamless wireless battery charging.
Electreon’s technology transforms roads into wireless charging platforms, enabling vehicles to charge both while parked and on the move. The company’s charging infrastructure is compatible with all types of electric vehicles.
Electreon has built a global network of over 100 partners, including major automakers such as TOYOTA, DENSO, Ford, IVECO, and Kenworth, as well as infrastructure, engineering, energy and logistics companies like UPS. In 2025, the company received the ISO/SAE 21434 standard for cybersecurity in vehicles.
This technology is especially beneficial on highways, toll roads and in other high-traffic areas like ports and critical mobility hubs such as airports.
The system’s power transfer is boosted to an average of 200 kW, with peaks exceeding 300 kW, using EasyPACK 3B CoolSiC 2000 V modules from Infineon that were specifically developed to meet Electreon’s requirements.
This performance was confirmed in a milestone achieved recently on France’s A10 highway, the world’s first highway to wirelessly charge heavy and medium-duty trucks, buses, vans and passenger cars in motion.
Continuous on-route charging keeps the battery topped up, allowing vehicles to travel farther and use much smaller battery packs.
This cuts upfront vehicle costs and reduces vehicle weight, freeing up more capacity for cargo. Electreon has already incorporated Infineon’s customized EasyPACK 3B CoolSiC 2000 V modules in test tracks in the U.S., Germany, France, Norway, Portugal, Sweden, Italy, Israel and Japan.
There are current plans to integrate the technology into upcoming longer-distance projects.
