Imagine driving an electric vehicle (EV) without worrying about finding a charging station or running out of battery mid-journey. This vision is fast becoming a reality, thanks to an ambitious project in Sweden. It’s not just a technological breakthrough—it’s a bold step toward a fossil-free tomorrow.
The country is building the world’s first permanent electrified highway, where EVs will charge seamlessly as they drive. Set to be completed by 2025, this game-changing e-motorway promises to eliminate range anxiety, transforming the way we think about electric mobility and paving the way for a sustainable, emission-free future.
“If we electrify 20,000km of highways, that will definitely be enough. The distance between two highways is never more than 45km, and electric cars can already travel that distance without needing to be recharged. Some believe it would be enough to electrify 5,000km,” said Hans Säll, CEO of the eRoadArlanda consortium.
Breaking free from fossil fuel
What sets this project apart is its bold focus on heavy-duty vehicles—energy-hungry giants of the road that demand constant power. If it succeeds, it could slash freight transport emissions and revolutionize how goods move across Europe. A leap forward in green mobility could make real-time charging the new norm.
