Honda plans highway test of wireless charging for moving trucks

Honda says it has developed wireless charging technology for electric vehicles, including large trucks, while they are in motion. The company plans to test the system on a Japanese highway as part of a Monday announcement from Tokyo. The technology is designed to charge EVs without plugging in, targeting use cases where frequent stops are impractical—particularly for heavy transport. While Honda did not provide additional technical specifications in the Reuters brief, the planned highway trial signals an effort to move beyond static charging concepts. The test follows Honda’s broader EV and charging research efforts, with the Reuters report edited by Clarence Fernandez.
