Honda to test wireless EV charging on a highway in 2027

Honda and Taisei developed wireless charging for moving vehicles and will begin testing in 2027 on a 300-meter stretch of highway in Chiba prefecture outside Tokyo. Road-embedded hardware delivers up to 150 kW at 75 mph.

• Tests will cover a 300-meter highway stretch in Chiba prefecture
• Power transfer reaches up to 150 kW at 75 mph
• The tech works for both passenger cars and large trucks
• In-motion charging could cut the number of battery cells in future EVs
