Dubai tests new tech that charges electric vehicles while in motion

Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched the test-run of the dynamic wireless charging of electric vehicles and buses in motion using the Shaped Magnetic Field In Resonance (SMFIR) technology in Dubai Silicon Oasis.. The initial phase covers preparing the infrastructure and laying an embedded power-charging grid underneath a 60-metre road strip at the Dubai Silicon Oasis for the dynamic wireless charging of electric vehicles and buses in motion," he said.. The initiative will help increase the number of electric vehicles in Dubai, which is already witnessing a steady increase, especially with the Dubai Government's interest in green mobility initiatives.. DEWA has installed over 240 charging stations for electric vehicles across Dubai, with plans to increase the number to 300 by the end of 2020..
