EVs （electric vehicles） are gaining momentum as a bright prospect to replace conventional fuel-dependent ICE （internal combustion engine） as demand of EVs increase year by year in every country.

文摘This paper proposes a demonstration of the infrastructure concept of electric vehicles-friendly highways. EVs （electric vehicles） are gaining momentum as a bright prospect to replace conventional fuel-dependent ICE （internal combustion engine） as demand of EVs increase year by year in every country. However, due to battery capacity limitation and charging stations availability, EVs are mainly used in urban areas for short-range commuters rather than long-range journeys. This has resulted in EV usage concentrated in town and business areas. It is clear that EV usage for long distance driving is still in minimal priority due to inadequate battery performances and charging infrastructures insufficiency. The proposed concept is to solve range anxiety issues by wirelessly charging in-motion vehicles, particularly at highways namely DCH （dynamic charging highway）.
