Testing the PRIMOVE charging system on an electric car

In October 2010, PRIMOVE joined the Flanders’ DRIVE project in Lommel in which a consortium of industrial companies and R&D specialists came together to research the potential of inductive charging for electric road vehicles. A public road in Lommel, Belgium, and a Volvo C30 car have been equipped with PRIMOVE technology.

The project demonstrated high power transfer in both dynamic and stationary use, as well as the intermodal charging compatibility of the system. It has also shown the system’s operational efficiency in a real urban environment, on different road surfaces and under all weather conditions.
