⬇️🚀🚀Follow ///Anis Maaouia Electric vehicles aren’t a 21st-century invention—they were among the first automobiles ever built. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, electric cars were actually more popular than gasoline or steam vehicles because they were quieter, cleaner, and easier to operate. In cities like London and New York, electric taxis and delivery trucks were a common sight, offering early glimpses of what we now call sustainable transport. The shift away from electric vehicles came as gasoline engines improved and oil became cheap and widely available. The introduction of the electric starter in 1912 eliminated one of the biggest drawbacks of early gas cars—hand cranking—and mass production by Ford made combustion vehicles far more affordable. By the 1920s, internal combustion engines had largely taken over the market. Now, more than a century later, advances in battery technology and global climate goals are driving a true electric comeback. What started as a forgotten chapter of history is becoming the foundation for the future of mobility—proof that innovation often moves in cycles. #Anis_Maaouia #ElectricVehicles #EVHistory #EngineeringFacts #SustainableTransport #AutomotiveHistory

👉👉Road that charge your car while driving 👈👈 France is pioneering a groundbreaking innovation with the world’s first EV-charging motorway, empowering electric vehicles to charge seamlessly while in motion. Located on the A10 near Paris, this cutting-edge system harnesses induction coils embedded in the road to wirelessly transfer power to EVs, including cars, buses, vans, and trucks. Developed by Electreon and VINCI Autoroutes, the project delivers over 200 kW of continuous power, with peaks of 300 kW, enabling vehicles to charge efficiently on the move and reducing the need for large batteries. This revolutionary technology not only enhances convenience and saves time but also aligns with France’s vision for sustainable, low-emission transportation, paving the way for a future of efficient, environmentally friendly mobility. 🚗⚡ #LuxuryInnovation #SmartMobility #FutureOfTransport #HighTechSolutions #PremiumEV #GreenWealth #edunovations #futuretech #SustainableLuxury #EliteMobility #NextGenInfrastructure #EVRevolution #fblifestyle

In a pioneering step for sustainable transport, France has activated the first motorway in the world equipped with a dynamic wireless-charging system designed to recharge electric vehicles while they are driving. On the A10 motorway, approximately 40 km southwest of Paris, a consortium led by VINCI Autoroutes in collaboration with Electreon, VINCI Construction, Gustave Eiffel University and Hutchinson has launched the “Charge as You Drive” project, embedding induction coils beneath the pavement to deliver upwards of 200-300 kW of wireless power to vehicles in motion. This system is being tested on a roughly 1.5–2 km section of real traffic, with equipped vehicles including heavy-duty trucks, buses, utility vans and passenger cars. Early results show the technology can deliver peak power above 300 kW and average power above 200 kW under optimal conditions. By enabling vehicles to charge while moving, the innovation promises a future where battery sizes can be reduced, charging stops eliminated, and heavy-road transport substantially decarbonised—addressing one of France’s major emissions sources from road freight. #ElectricRoads #WirelessCharging #EV #france
