Swiss startup develops way to charge electric buses through tyres
Original: A Swiss startup has found a clever way to charge electric buses through their tyres
A Swiss startup has developed a method to charge electric buses through their tyres. The approach would allow buses to top up their batteries while operating, without needing to stop at charging stations, offering a possible answer to one of the main challenges in electrifying public transport. Details of how the technology works and which operators, if any, are testing it have not been widely reported yet, but the idea is drawing attention for its originality.
Why now: The novelty of inductive or tyre-based wireless charging for public transit is attracting interest amid growing adoption of electric buses.
