Plans are in hand in Sweden for key road routes featuring electric vehicle charging facilities. The plans are being set out jointly by the 3530 Swedish Transport Administration (Trafikverket), the Swedish innovation agency Vinnova and the Swedish Energy Agency (Energimyndigheten). Four contractors are working on procurement processes for road featuring recharging capabilities. The aim of the plan is to build one or more demonstration plants to provide roads with charging capabilities in 2015. It forms part of an overall plan for the Swedish Government to deliver fossil fuel free transportation by 2030. In 2013 11 contractors offered up concepts for the development of roads with vehicle charging capabilities. Now, only four contractors are still pursuing the concept and, after they have presented detailed designs, two of them will be selected to start work.
