New York Times article featuring INDOT pilot project

A New York Times article featured ASPIRE's pilot project on world's first contactless wireless-charging concrete pavement highway segment. The project aims to implement magnetised concrete to charge electric vehicles as they drive on road segments.

“We see this technology as a great opportunity to align with the vision from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration of alternative fuel corridors along major national roadways that support plug-in electric vehicle charging, hydrogen, propane, and natural gas refueling with existing or planned infrastructure,” said Dr. Gkritza.
