Smart Steps Towards Sustainable Transportation: Profitability of Electric Road System

Abstract

This article is designed to demonstrate why we need to believe electric roads are an affordable way to electrify all forms of road transport; not only cars but also buses and trucks also. Electric roads mean a way to power electric vehicles without relying solely on the battery. The idea is that when an electric vehicle reaches an electric road it stops using power from the battery and instead uses power directly from the road itself. It is similar to the way that we power trams and electric trains nowadays. The big challenge for electric vehicles is still a perceived and compromising quality of life when having an electric vehicle due to the limited range compared to petrol and diesel cars today. This paper introduces a new technology that is currently experiencing rapid development which can not only overcome range anxiety but actually make electric vehicles better in terms of range than petrol and diesel cars today. Furthermore, not only would have helped arrange it will also help us for the first time to cost-effectively electrify heavy-duty transport like trucks and buses which would be a huge breakthrough for sustainability. Because it is really important to start supplying electricity to heavy-duty vehicles. The case study provides a very hypothetical example of a trip with and without an electric road, covering a total of 26011km of highways and main roads in the country. The results have indicated that building electric roads is cheaper than a lot of other alternatives. The main reason is the amount of money currently spent on transport infrastructure. This paper can help transport operators and policymakers develop strategies to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles by appropriately implementing electric road infrastructure.
