I’m from Norway and I have driven an EV for about 1 year. And in my experience if you can’t charge at home it’s more expensive to drive an EV then a ICE car. Because of the crazy expensive fast charging prices at fortum and others at a minimum of 2,5 a min and a minimum of 10min charging for 70 to 100 km of range. Last time I fast charges I ended up paying 45kr for about 60km (this was on a cold day)
Yes, it is a little bit of a class question. There are plenty of old gasoline/diesel/hybrid available at low prices, while EVs with a normal range are still fairly new and has a lot more depriciation to be made. Just for commuting, for people living in houses, a used shorter range EV or PHEV makes greater sense, more so in Norway. Jag är från Sverige BTW.
I absolutely was imagining a charging on the go technique, but slightly different as I was not well acquainted with wireless charging. But somewhere in between electric highway and charging station, where moving cars on highway could connect to a cable, get charged on the run and detach when charged and switch to regular lane. This would mean, one lane in the highway to be dedicated for charging only. Such charging supplies could be powered by solar energy through the highway itself.
@Garry Eric I literally bought another large chunk right before the damn dip happened, so i wish i had more funds to buy the dip again right now at $620
I wonder how they are affected by road dirt and debris. Presumably much less than those solar roads but possibly still a concern. Also, if they're sending power down the highway could they add a thermal component and use it to keep the roads free of ice and snow? Interesting possibilities!
@@CausticLemons7 it's the same as wireless chargers for Samsung and Apple phones. It does get slightly warm. Dirt or snow doesn't affect it much. Flooding or heavy rain where the water doesn't drain away will be a problem but I imagine the system will shut down if it detects ineffective charging, same as on phones
It’s such a smart solution to the common headaches of electric vehicle charging - finding a station, waiting to plug in, and killing time while the car charges. Instead, taxis in Norway will just power up while waiting for their next fare, making every minute more efficient. What’s really exciting is thinking about how this could transform the entire vehicle landscape, not just taxis. Norway is setting a stellar example of how practical solutions can lead to massive changes in reducing emissions and promoting sustainability. It makes you wonder what other innovations are on the horizon as we move towards a more electric-powered world. Kudos to Norway for leading the charge - literally!

How much space will these battery swap stations take? Its certainly gonna be more than 5 regular EV charging parking spots. 4. How many people are gonna have to work at those stations and get payed for doing so? I simply do not believe these stations will operate on their own with no one looking over them. 5. Cars would have to be designed with battery swaps in mind, batteries could no longer be hidden away in the frame of the car. Which means the cars with swappable batteries arent utilizing the space of the car. Battery swaps would solve the problems TODAY, but its not guaranteed it will stay relevant when batteries get more and more range and can charge faster.
A good place to start this might be to turn various toll roads into charging roads, that way you can charge as you go and the pass you'd get for said road (EZ pass in US) would probably also help calculate how much electricity you use and charge you accordingly. This would make it a project that would eventually pay for itself.

@@paxon57 Its just that it wont, wireless charging like this wont improve when technology improves, its a physics problem. The thing you fail to realize is that while yes, 98% of our electricity is hydro power, what good does that make if we waste 60% of it by using these stupid wireless chargers?
@@paxon57 All that wasted electricity is not only money pouring out onto the street, raising costs for all the drivers/riders, but it's also heat energy being dumped into our already warming atmosphere.

I'm from Guernsey, our island is so small you can drive around the whole thing in less than an hour. (The speed limit is 35mph) so the average EV could go round the island multiple times on one charge. Also most of the population have their own driveways for their cars so could easily charge at home. EVs therefore make so much sense here.

Yep. A few years back at the I85 Georgia welcome center "The RAY" installed electric car toys just past the pee stop parking.

Because everyone wants to hang out at a highway rest stop for 4 hours to slow charge your car. And a "solar freaking roadway" pad in front that lit up for about four months.

There are already things like that in plan. SpaceX's Starship will have fuel tankers in orbit, which act as "rocket chargers", which the 100ton+ Starship second stage uses to refue for mars missions and onwards.
The principle of induction is good and it will be interesting to see this develop. The principle could really work well in sunny climates where you could have solar and wind energy sources designed in as a requirement for all new roads.
Its a great idea. But main flaw that I find here is induction charging do waste a lot of energy. However, its a step forward and will lead to generate more efficient wireless charging systems
@Joseph Shepin As the innovation in new battery technology is increasing the range, we can assume that research and development on wireless charging technology (it can be induction, microwave, or any other sort of beam) can make this technology more efficient. Super charger network have its own importance as this tech can already transfer huge amount of electricity and charge vehicle in a short span. Nonetheless it does not mitigate the importance of wireless charging which can lead to zero down time (charging) for vehicles.
The problem with this is that the efficiency of charging is much lower so it requires much more energy to charge the same vehicle. Sure, one can just make more solar panels or whatever but building in itself is damaging to the environment and causes emissions, we should be trying to use the least amount of energy as possible.
Awesome. There's gotta be paint that can be applied to roads, and than contrasting paint applied under cars or on tires that can conduct some of this energy need though. Tire friction rubber meeting road likely already supplies heat needed for the rection.
the road doesn't really need to provide enough power to charge - just enough to stop a discharge, as stated in the video " graze charging, between stops " .. every intersection, stop light, morning commute congestion - would immediately charge any vehicle that is slower than cruising speed. great video
What worries me the most is definitely the powerloss with wireless charging of such magnitudes of energy. 75kw is no small amount of power, and having to output 100+ kw for the car to receive 75kw seems wasteful. These are just random numbers but I'd like to know what the actual charging loss is.
Why not just have tram style electrified rails and deal with the safety issue by turning the volts on and off intelligently as the car passes over? It’s got to be cheaper and more efficient.
Norway charging cars using renewable electricity! Meanwhile, almost the entirety of the Norway's national wealth is thanks to their non-renewable gas exports, which they use only a fraction of themselves.
@@ollierkul The petroleum industry accounts for a quarter of Norway's GDP (that's without gas and minerals) The latter included mounts to about 50% of all exports. A lot of wealth for such a small population 😅
@@remedytee No, it accounts for slightly less than 20% of GDP (both oil and gas included), a significant amount, but thats actually much much less than other comparable oil rich nations, like Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, Norway doesn't use all this oil wealth, it's mostly invested in a fund, with only a small fraction being allowed to be used in the state budget. Norway has a lot of other valuable industries, the economy is actually pretty diverse for an oil nation, being for example the second largest exporter of seafood in the world. You also have aluminium and an abundance of clean electricity. Even without the oil and gas, Norway would be considered a wealthy nation, doing the math puts us still above our neighbour Sweden in GDP per capita without it.
Easy way, then the full stack: add an induction charger under the asphalt in proximity of cross-light, this will cost very few money. Then u can go to the step 2 and 3 : Car parking place area transformation, and finally road (in order of complexity and investment)
Its not about how much it cust to build. Its about how insane you wast power and how slow you charg cars with it then all the heat on top.

Absolutely this is the best way forward particularly for people who haven't access to garaging. All houses snd estates could be built with induction charging already installed. It is being used in Formula e racing so the technology is available. Whats stopping us?
Yeah, wireless charging is on average only 45-47% as effective as wired. It's just a cool gimmick to bedazzle people, but in actuality a huge waste of energy. Imagine the amount wasted if whole roads had wireless charging strips. Plus it's slower too. It would literally be more efficient and less time consuming if the driver were to get out and plug a cable every time. It's fine for mobile phones and such, but I sure am astonished that an entire country is committing actual resources to this sort of thing. Like, how lazy are these taxi drivers, can't get out for 1 minute to just plug a wire in a socket, and, how impatient are the people that they can't wait an extra 30 sec or so it takes to unplug? Geeze!
Seems a good idea but the taxi drivers are then locked into a particular supplier for their energy. They have no choice but to charge when waiting. If they can chose different billing companies then it seems beneficial.
The idea is not really a great one. It has very little benefits and tons of cons. Pros: - You don't have to plug your vehicle in charger - You can drive & charge at the same time Cons: - Very inefficient compared to charging by cable - Roads are expensive to build - The time your car spends on a strip of road is minimal so lots of roads would need to be rebuild - The total energy output per $ will never be better than charging by cable so pros really need to be good (see inefficency) - Only works in supported places - Pros aren't good since (see down) Chargers get better (Tesla Supercharger V3 peak charging is over 1000 miles per hour) and will exceed your charging needs. Cars get better at charging. Cars get more range. See where this leads? Less charging is needed (range) and charging is faster (charger speed, car charging speed) resulting in a no-need-for-inductive-roads. Inductive charging is mostly a convenience thing - a thing you don't need. "Inductive charging on a road is like reinventing an electric train but doing it more ineffieciently." Charging time might be in future a limiting factor for autonomous cars operating in a taxi fleet but good luck arguing that the roads need to be rebuild when everyone driving their own cars can just charge regularly.
yes, we do like that our future endeavor must be in this direction. Parking locations, restaurants and similarly all public amenity places should be developed first.
In the USA, this will likely never happen as it requires infrastructure investments, negative impact on gas tax income, and ultimately lobbying from car manufactures.
It is very wasteful in terms of efficiency today. I think the hope is similar to batteries, which is the tech will get better as time goes on. By the time they have in road charging mastered, hopefully we have much better inductive charging.
@@heyaisdabomb No we wont becouse there is a physics problem not a technological . And roas charging is even worse for powerlose not only does the road has to constantly send energybeams becouse you move super fast it generats even more heat ans takes longer to charg. Its super convinient but also stupid. You exchang charging speed the live of your batterie and higher power lose for convinients.
I like this. But, there is one problem imo. The model it is still based on is small vehicles that mostly only one person at the time will use and them again most of its time (90%) the vehicle (car) is just waiting to be used. The first and most important step in transitioning mobility on a sustainable model is strong and efficient mass transportation system (buses, trams, train, subway,etc). Mass transportation will always have the smaller footprint and having this running on renewables energies is a huge step. Sadly some cities are built in the individualistic point of view of the car (mostly in the US, where cities grew and cars were already existing).
@@moinulislammahin2045 EV is the future. I own one. Why would you want to needlessly waste energy for convenience. We are still getting most of our electricity from carbon producing tech. So to your point, until all energy is made from renewable zero carbon tech, these induction charges will make matters worse than using plug-in charging. Also, we cannot afford to maintain the road infrastructure we have now. Adding the cost to build and maintain a dangerous wireless charging infrastructure would be an economic disaster. And last, it is not monoxide, it is carbon monoxide, but mostly carbon dioxide that ICE cars emit.
@@jcjensenllc Wireless might work for smaller countries like Norway, but won't happen at scale until it's more developed. I'd be happy to see a single wired EV charging station in my hometown in America than dream about something that just isn't there yet.

@Heycel We invented electric roads wirelessly delivering magnetic propulsion for metal based vehicules. Yes, if you have a Qi charger in the electric car, it would charge it somewhat, but the magnetic propulsion saves 95% fuel.
A study found out that the average car owner in Europe doesn't use their car for 23 hours of the day. Taking this into consideration, I believe the future of cars will be some sort of autonomous car sharing. It's basically a driverless Taxi. This would reduce the number of cars by a lot.
Why would you use wireless charging, it's a waste of energy like in smartphones, unless everything is electric so you don't know what to do with extra power
LOL maybe if the problem was producing enough clean energy and not just being too cheap too produce enough clean energy. Fossil fuels make them more profit margin.
@@Jspath3 I don't see the point. In last 10 years battery capacity got tripled. In next 10 years it could tripled too, so you charge your car like regular ones or less often. Imagine 10 more years from that, charging once every year.. 😅
Wireless EV charging is just as efficient - or more efficient - than plugging in. Most people think they have to plug in an electric car to get the most efficient charging possible, but that’s not true. No charging method is 100% efficient. Conventional chargers are typically 88% to 95% efficient. Wireless charging is right in the middle of that range at 90% to 93% efficiency. That means it does as good a job of transferring electricity from the charger to a car’s battery as most conventional charging equipment that uses a cord.
@@nothing9220 Never heard of it but looks interesting, I wonder why Tesla doesn't support in their cars and in public charging stations. I couldn't find many videos about wireless charging, its like from 2018 and still not popular, something is wrong
As a person who is sane this doesn't make any sense! It just takes less than a minute to unplug the charging cable and to just to save that time are we really gonna use that much insufficient method of charging??it takes a hella lot of energy to charge a battery wirelessly than with a wire..
A very interesting idea. One day I hope that internal combustion engines and their dangerous emissions will be a thing of the past. Imagine if every parking space had a wireless charging point, and every vehicle compatible, we’d never need refuel in a conventional sense ever again.
The whole EV concept is a nice gimmick where they replace one type of pollution/damage to the environment with another. There is no silver bullet here.

The power prices also ramped up after the rapid takeup of EVs. On cold days last winter the price was regularly 10x the average summer price. It's a pity Norway doesn't invest in improving the grid between the north and south of the country instead of having to "buy back" expensive power from its neighbours when the Hydro reservoirs run low.
Not sure wireless charging via induction is the way forward while driving. May be better for stand still charging. Maglev probably better bet for charging while driving. But charging while we drive is 100% what we need and what will happen. And its coming soon. Many tests ongoing. Will solve "all" issues with range, time to charge and the many expensive chargers otherwise needed etc. Cheaper option - and maybe the one likely to be adopted - will be a rail system next to, over or laid into the road. Easy and relatively simple to implement.

There are plenty of old gasoline/diesel/hybrid available at low prices, while EVs with a normal range are still fairly new and has a lot more depriciation to be made. Just for commuting, for people living in houses, a used shorter range EV or PHEV makes greater sense, more so in Norway. Jag är från Sverige BTW.
I absolutely was imagining a charging on the go technique, but slightly different as I was not well acquainted with wireless charging. But somewhere in between electric highway and charging station, where moving cars on highway could connect to a cable, get charged on the run and detach when charged and switch to regular lane. This would mean, one lane in the highway to be dedicated for charging only. Such charging supplies could be powered by solar energy through the highway itself.

I can forsee people setting up induction grills on the road.
If this existed then I’d be happy to pay the road taxes
I wonder how they are affected by road dirt and debris. Presumably much less than those solar roads but possibly still a concern. Also, if they're sending power down the highway could they add a thermal component and use it to keep the roads free of ice and snow? Interesting possibilities!

It’s such a smart solution to the common headaches of electric vehicle charging - finding a station, waiting to plug in, and killing time while the car charges. Instead, taxis in Norway will just power up while waiting for their next fare, making every minute more efficient.
What’s really exciting is thinking about how this could transform the entire vehicle landscape, not just taxis. Norway is setting a stellar example of how practical solutions can lead to massive changes in reducing emissions and promoting sustainability. It makes you wonder what other innovations are on the horizon as we move towards a more electric-powered world. Kudos to Norway for leading the charge - literally!

The problem with swappable batteries is
1. Who owns the batteries? You certainly dont, you borrow them.
2. How much wear does swapping out a battery every 2 days cause to a car?
3. How much space will these battery swap stations take? Its certainly gonna be more than 5 regular EV charging parking spots.
4. How many people are gonna have to work at those stations and get payed for doing so? I simply do not believe these stations will operate on their own with no one looking over them.
5. Cars would have to be designed with battery swaps in mind, batteries could no longer be hidden away in the frame of the car. Which means the cars with swappable batteries arent utilizing the space of the car.
Battery swaps would solve the problems TODAY, but its not guaranteed it will stay relevant when batteries get more and more range and can charge faster.

The principle of induction is good and it will be interesting to see this develop. The principle could really work well in sunny climates where you could have solar and wind energy sources designed in as a requirement for all new roads.
Its a great idea. But main flaw that I find here is induction charging do waste a lot of energy. However, its a step forward and will lead to generate more efficient wireless charging systems
@Joseph Shepin Lets hope that we get more efficient wireless systems in future. Then it will be a great upgrade to charge a vehicle on the go
@Joseph Shepin As the innovation in new battery technology is increasing the range, we can assume that research and development on wireless charging technology (it can be induction, microwave, or any other sort of beam) can make this technology more efficient. Super charger network have its own importance as this tech can already transfer huge amount of electricity and charge vehicle in a short span. Nonetheless it does not mitigate the importance of wireless charging which can lead to zero down time (charging) for vehicles.
The problem with this is that the efficiency of charging is much lower so it requires much more energy to charge the same vehicle. Sure, one can just make more solar panels or whatever but building in itself is damaging to the environment and causes emissions, we should be trying to use the least amount of energy as possible.
Given if enough research and development will be done in future on this technology, the energy efficiency will just improve exponentially...
Awesome. There's gotta be paint that can be applied to roads, and than contrasting paint applied under cars or on tires that can conduct some of this energy need though. Tire friction rubber meeting road likely already supplies heat needed for the rection.

Norway has a lot of other valuable industries, the economy is actually pretty diverse for an oil nation, being for example the second largest exporter of seafood in the world. You also have aluminium and an abundance of clean electricity.

the further apart the induction coils are, the greater the energy loss
Yeah, wireless charging is on average only 45-47% as effective as wired. It's just a cool gimmick to bedazzle people, but in actuality a huge waste of energy. Imagine the amount wasted if whole roads had wireless charging strips. Plus it's slower too. It would literally be more efficient and less time consuming if the driver were to get out and plug a cable every time. It's fine for mobile phones and such, but I sure am astonished that an entire country is committing actual resources to this sort of thing. Like, how lazy are these taxi drivers, can't get out for 1 minute to just plug a wire in a socket, and, how impatient are the people that they can't wait an extra 30 sec or so it takes to unplug? Geeze!
Better would be to use overhead microwaves and install a rectenna on the roof of the cars.
Seems a good idea but the taxi drivers are then locked into a particular supplier for their energy. They have no choice but to charge when waiting. If they can chose different billing companies then it seems beneficial.
The idea is not really a great one. It has very little benefits and tons of cons.
Pros:
- You don't have to plug your vehicle in charger
- You can drive & charge at the same time
Cons:
- Very inefficient compared to charging by cable
- Roads are expensive to build
- The time your car spends on a strip of road is minimal so lots of roads would need to be rebuild
- The total energy output per $ will never be better than charging by cable so pros really need to be good (see inefficency)
- Only works in supported places
- Pros aren't good since (see down)
Chargers get better (Tesla Supercharger V3 peak charging is over 1000 miles per hour) and will exceed your charging needs.
Cars get better at charging.
Cars get more range.
See where this leads? Less charging is needed (range) and charging is faster (charger speed, car charging speed) resulting in a no-need-for-inductive-roads.
Inductive charging is mostly a convenience thing - a thing you don't need.
"Inductive charging on a road is like reinventing an electric train but doing it more ineffieciently."
Charging time might be in future a limiting factor for autonomous cars operating in a taxi fleet but good luck arguing that the roads need to be rebuild when everyone driving their own cars can just charge regularly.

The first and most important step in transitioning mobility on a sustainable model is strong and efficient mass transportation system (buses, trams, train, subway,etc). Mass transportation will always have the smaller footprint and having this running on renewables energies is a huge step. Sadly some cities are built in the individualistic point of view of the car (mostly in the US, where cities grew and cars were already existing).
Induction charging is extremely inefficient and has health safety issues.

Wireless EV charging is just as efficient - or more efficient - than plugging in. Most people think they have to plug in an electric car to get the most efficient charging possible, but that’s not true. No charging method is 100% efficient. Conventional chargers are typically 88% to 95% efficient. Wireless charging is right in the middle of that range at 90% to 93% efficiency. That means it does as good a job of transferring electricity from the charger to a car’s battery as most conventional charging equipment that uses a cord.

The power prices also ramped up after the rapid takeup of EVs. On cold days last winter the price was regularly 10x the average summer price. It's a pity Norway doesn't invest in improving the grid between the north and south of the country instead of having to "buy back" expensive power from its neighbours when the Hydro reservoirs run low.
"How to waste electricity 101"
You say that like electricity is a finite resource. Which it isn't in countries like Norway.
and all the money for the charging coils.
Not sure wireless charging via induction is the way forward while driving. May be better for stand still charging. Maglev probably better bet for charging while driving. But charging while we drive is 100% what we need and what will happen. And its coming soon. Many tests ongoing. Will solve "all" issues with range, time to charge and the many expensive chargers otherwise needed etc. Cheaper option - and maybe the one likely to be adopted - will be a rail system next to, over or laid into the road. Easy and relatively simple to implement.
This thing is so inefficient, that it doesn't make any sense.
doesnt matter that it is up to 50% less efficient when it is more convenient and the power used is more than 99% clean
@@hypapowah Well, Sweden already had outages this winter. Besides, what's wrong with a cable?
Costa Rica 🇨🇷 could be a good place, new car monthly purchases already surpassed the 10% EV rate on 2023 and 99% of the electricity is generated by renowable green sources. I’d love to see wireless charging roads here 🙌🏻🙌🏻
Norway has loads of electricity supply, thanks to THOR ⚡️
Lolllllll

I suggest that instead of charging batteries on roads charge super capacitors inside cars
