England planned to construct power-transfer electric motorways across the country.
It has already completed a feasibility study and is now asking companies to tender bids to host off-road trials.
In 2013, the South Korean town of Gumi switched on a 12km route that allows buses with compatible equipment to be charged as they drive over it. It works by a process called Shaped Magnetic Field In Resonance.
Electric cables buried under the road are used to generate electromagnetic fields, which are picked up by a coil inside the device and converted into electricity.
