Toyota EV Drives 1,200 Miles Straight on Electric Roads Electreon, a startup, drove an electric Toyota for 1,207 miles straight without charging.

The secret? An innovative wireless charging system embedded under the asphalt.

Electreon says its electric roads solve range anxiety and the need for huge EV batteries.

The 8 most innovative technologies in renewable energy perovskite cells- Another innovative technology in solar power is the Perovskite solar cell. They are a type of solar cell that uses a material called perovskite, a mineral with a unique crystal structure. The solar cells were also discovered in 1839 and named after Russian mineralogist Lev Perovski.

Perovskite solar cells have gained significant attention and popularity in recent years due to their potential for high efficiency and low cost compared to traditional silicon solar cells. One of the primary advantages of perovskite solar cells is their high efficiency. Perovskite thin-film solar cells have already achieved up to 25% efficiency and have the potential to go much higher — a giant leap considering they were only at around 3% efficiency in 2009. They are already comparable to or even higher than traditional silicon solar cells.

Additionally, perovskite solar cells can be manufactured using simple and inexpensive processes, which could lead to lower production costs and broader adoption of solar energy. Perovskite solar cells are also lightweight and flexible, making them ideal for portable and wearable devices. They can also be made semi-transparent, using them in windows and other building materials.
