It\u2019s dynamic. You either buy an hour ahead of time and then you sell it one hour later, or you bid on electricity, you submit your bid, buy it, and then you sell it.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nWhat are the advantages of wireless charging lanes? <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\nCurrently, an EV battery has a variety of limitations which causes the charging time of an electric car to increase. On top of this, an electric car\u2019s range may only be a few hundred miles.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nA wireless charging lane reduces this so-called \u2018rang anxiety\u2019 about low batteries on longer trips, as a driver has the ability to move into a charging lane. These would act in a similar way as today\u2019s high-occupancy vehicles moving into special lanes to avoid dense traffic.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\nTo ensure that wireless charging lanes can function efficiently, ensuring that energy costs can be lowered will impose less pressure on the existing power grid.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u00a0\u201cThese two merits can bring broad benefits to our society,\u201d Gao said. \u201cCost reduction in operating wireless charging roads is likely to attract more investment in constructing these roads and lower the corresponding charging price \u2013 promoting overall electric vehicle adoption.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cThe alleviation of required pressure on the power grid is great news to the power industry, which already suffers significant strain on the existing infrastructure.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Wireless charging lanes will reduce range anxiety for EV owners, but for these to become a reality, energy costs must be minimised. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":18,"featured_media":26481,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[24425],"tags":[582,24404],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
