According to Sawyer Merritt, Purdue University has successfully demonstrated dynamic inductive charging of a heavy-duty electric truck at motorway speeds using a quarter-mile stretch of Highway 231/52 in West Lafayette, Indiana (Sawyer Merritt, Dec 4, 2025). The AI-powered system delivered 190 kilowatts of charging to a battery-electric Cummins semi-truck traveling at 65 mph, utilizing magnetic transmitter coils embedded in the road and receiver coils in the vehicle. This breakthrough enables continuous, contactless charging for electric trucks and other EVs while in motion, presenting significant opportunities for AI-driven optimization in smart transportation infrastructure, logistics, and fleet management. The integration of real-time AI analytics can maximize energy efficiency, reduce downtime, and accelerate large-scale adoption of electric heavy-duty vehicles for commercial use.
