  • Laura Oxburgh says the number of electric vehicles on the island has "tripled since 2020".

The island of Bornholm in Denmark is set to become a testing ground for a new electric vehicle charging system that utilizes road-embedded copper coils to wirelessly charge electric cars as they drive, park, or even remain stationary. This innovative project, named the "Electric Island Bornholm," is a collaboration between 22 Danish and international partners, including the Danish Energy Agency, and aims to demonstrate the feasibility of wireless charging on a large scale. The system, developed by the company Efacec, will be installed along a 1.2-mile stretch of road and in parking spaces, with the goal of reducing the need for large batteries in electric vehicles and promoting the adoption of electric cars. The project, which began in 2021, is expected to be completed by 2023, and if successful, could pave the way for similar systems worldwide.
