Calvac Paving Posts New Blog about How Charging Roads for Electric Cars May Soon Become a Reality
The New Article Discusses How These Roads Actually Work, As Well As the Efforts in the UK to Create Them
SAN JOSE, Calif., Sept. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Calvac Paving, a Bay Area asphalt and concrete contractor, has just posted an educational and thought-provoking new blog that looks at how roads that charge electric cars may soon become reality.
Titled "The Greenest Mile: How Charging Roads May Make Electric Cars More Efficient Than Ever," the article explains how scientists are hard at work creating roadways that will make electric cars even more efficient.
As President Jim Adam noted, he and everyone else at Calvac Paving support technologies and construction methods that offer a better and more sustainable way to do everyday tasks. From recycling asphalt and concrete to innovative inventions like self-healing concrete, Adam and his talented team are always on the lookout for the latest environmentally friendly trends.
"This is why we are so excited about the possibility of roads that actually recharge electric cars as they drive," Adam said, adding that these specially designed roadways will reduce pollution, increase the performance and range of electric cars to unheard-of levels, and reduce or entirely eliminate the need for charging stations.
As the article explains, the UK government is currently moving forward with a trial of experimental charging roads. Just as a wireless phone charger will power up a smartphone, the roads will charge vehicles using magnetic induction resonance.
"Cables implanted in the material of the roadway generate a specialized electromagnetic field that the car can convert into usable energy," the article notes.
Adam said Calvac Paving will continue to watch the news out of the UK with interest, and are hopeful that the technology is feasible. As he noted, if everything works out as the researchers and mathematical equations suggest, these roads will have a major impact on both freeway and automotive design, as well as the entire transportation market.
"We think that's a pretty big win, and look forward to this technology here at home," Adam said.
