'Charge as you drive': France trials motorway that charges EVs while driving
In France, technology to develop charge-as-you-drive roads is currently being trialled. This allows electric vehicles to charge without stopping, by having inductive coils beneath the asphalt transfer electrical currents wirelessly. Europe is pushing to phase out fossil-fuelled cars by 2035. Advocates said the system could speed up Europe's move to a carbon-neutral transport sector. But first, some major roadblocks need to be cleared. Ross Cullen reports from a highway near Paris.
