The electric car market is expected to experience a boom in the near future.
Several brands have announced their intention to switch to all-electric shortly, like Mercedes.
To meet demand, infrastructure will therefore have to follow, in particular for recharging vehicles.
And this could be done by the road itself.

Monday, a German company, Magment, has created an energy-conducting concrete.
This material incorporates magnetic particles carrying energy that is then transferred to the moving car.
A test in the United States
This innovation would be inexpensive to produce.
It would also make it possible to do without charging terminals and guarantee the autonomy of vehicles.
A test is to be carried out in the state of Indiana, in the United States, which has partnered with the German company and a team of researchers.
A section of road 600 meters long and equipped with the cement in question must be created in order to verify the effectiveness of the material.
