Today, electric car drivers must stop at charging stations along the road to recharge their batteries. In the future, they may let it go, says Bellona manager Frederic Hauge.

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre laid the foundation stone for the Morrow battery factory in Arendal on Monday.
There, work is underway to develop a project in which the batteries to be sent out into the world. They will be transported to the port in electric trucks that they charge electricity from asphalt.
Charging electrics while driving
– We hope that we will be able to build the first stretch of road in Norway with wireless vehicle charging. This means that wires are laid under the asphalt, which means that the trucks charge their batteries as they drive. This is speaking from manager Frederic Hauge in Bellona, who is the co-owner and technology co-creator of the project.
Indicates Sweden has made further progress in testing the so-called induction technology including through the project on Gotland and a two-mile road project near Örebro.

The future on Norwegian roads
Hauge says the future is here.
– Yes, that's for sure, this will be the future on Norwegian roads when all cars and trucks will be electric vehicles. Then drivers will not have to stop to recharge their batteries.
– Are you saying that Norway's main roads could become electric roads in the future?
– Yes, I think so, but first we have to start, and the sample project from the port to the Morrow battery factory can teach us more about how big a part of the solution it can be.
