Nominee #7 – Elonroad – Karin Ebbinghaus, CEO

Charging ahead — even while you’re driving.

What if electric vehicles could charge while they move? Elonroad turns that question into a solution with a smart, ground-level rail system that delivers power to EVs in motion. It's dynamic charging made real, and it could revolutionize the future of transport.

Installed in short road segments or across entire routes, Elonroad’s system charges vehicles through a conductive strip that activates only when a compatible vehicle passes over it. It works safely and efficiently for cars, trucks, and public transport alike, helping reduce the need for heavy batteries and long charging stops.

With urban pilots already underway and interest from cities and logistics hubs across Europe, Elonroad is paving the way for a cleaner, smarter mobility system where charging becomes part of the journey, not a stop along the way.

5 quick facts about the innovation

  • Charges EVs while they drive using a conductive road rail
  • Works for cars, buses, and heavy vehicles
  • Reduces battery size needs and charging downtime
  • Active only when vehicles are above for safety
  • Tested in urban pilots and logistics operations
