Yes, electric vehicles (new energy cars) can have charging places. Many countries are building out their networks of public charging stations to accommodate the growing demand for EVs.
As for in-road charging locations, also known as “smart highways,” some cities and pilot projects are experimenting with installing rechargeable pavement or solar panels embedded within roads to power electric vehicles on-the-go. This technology is still in its infancy but has huge potential to revolutionize how we charge our cars while driving.
Some notable examples of public charging stations include:
- Fast-charging corridors along highways, like the ones found along California’s I-5 and I-40.
- Urban charging networks with thousands of stations, such as those in Seoul (South Korea), Tokyo (Japan), or Hong Kong.
- Highway rest stops and service plazas offering quick charges for stranded travelers.
