Functional wireless charging is about to get a whole lot bigger than just powering a cell phone. The government of Israel is partnering with electric tech company ElectRoad. Together, they developed technology that allows for the large-scale use of entirely electric buses. That technology just succeeded in primary testing.

The roads will pop up first as an 11-mile shuttle system between Eilat and the Ramon International Airport. Shay Soffer, chief scientist at the Ministry of Transport said it’s a big stage for the technology.
“Tel Aviv is the biggest city [in Israel], like New York on a small scale. If it will work in Tel Aviv, it will work anywhere,” Soffer says.“I think in 10 years you’ll see a lot of solutions like ElectRoad in our transportation.”
