Electreon Wireless is set to achieve a significant milestone by completing a four-day 1,500-kilometer trip in an electric car without stopping to charge, thanks to the use of its proprietary in-road charging strips.
The record-setting drive began on Sunday at Electreon's headquarters in Beit Yanai, Israel, and is set to conclude on Wednesday.
Throughout the journey, several key performance indicators will be monitored and displayed to highlight the significance of this achievement. These indicators include the exact travel time in days and hours, the distance covered in kilometers, the amount of energy transferred to the vehicle and data on the reduction of CO2 emissions when compared to diesel engines.
