Innovation in sustainable transport has an exciting first: a group of electric public transportation buses in Israel is the first in the world to be powered by a commercial wireless charging terminal（终端）, representing a milestone in sustainable travel.
An electric vehicle（EV）is defined as a vehicle that can be powered by an electric motor drawing electricity from a battery and that is capable of being charged from an external source. As Bus News reports, the site in Israel uses fixed wireless charging for parked urban electric buses, both at night and during the day, while the buses are parked at the public bus terminal.
Electreon, the company with the advanced wireless charging technology, is partnering with the Electra Afikim Company, a major Israeli transportation operator to deliver wireless EV bus charging in the center of Israel. As well as technology offer, Electre on manages the various construction stages, taking in electric infrastructure（基础设施）and civil engineering works.
Beyond the obvious appeal of the convenience that wireless EV charging offers, are a number of additional benefits that together seem likely to boost the greener transport that EVs offer. As CEO of Electreon, Oren Ezer, tells NoCamels, "We are promoting green public transportation in the city with the aim of reducing air pollution and continuing to improve the quality of life of the residents and the environment."
Additionally, wireless charging is likely to encourage EV use as it cuts charging downtime（停机时间）, and range（续航里程）anxiety. It also means that battery sizes can be reduced, making vehicles more sustainable, less costly, and lighter, with more space for passengers or goods. Another benefit is that multiple vehicles can charge at the same time from the same system without placing extra pressure on the electric grid（电网）. The technique's underground installation（安装）also means that there are no ugly visual impacts on the landscape.
