The Michigan government has awarded the contract to Electreon for the development of the nation's first wireless charging infrastructure on a public road in Michigan, the USA. The charging system allows electric vehicles (EV) to charge while in motion and stationary.

Electreon will lead the design, evaluation, iteration, testing, and implementation of the pilot program along with NextEnergy and Jacobs Engineering Group. The project will cover up to a 1-mile stretch of both dynamic and stationary wireless EV charging in Detroit. The project will be hosted by and live within Michigan Central, a mobility innovation district, and supported by partners like Ford Motor Co., DTE Energy, and the City of Detroit. 

MDOT will provide US$1.9 million in funding toward the pilot project. The EV road is expected to be operational in 2023.
