This project is part of Advancing Sustainability through Powered Infrastructure for Roadway Electrification (ASPIRE), a National Science Foundation-funded research and development initiative to accelerate sustainable and equitable transportation electrification. Purdue’s Pekarek says being part of this type of consortium is beneficial for information sharing to advance the technology.
“There is a leveraging effect of this and a critical mass getting established in the U.S. to foster such development,” he said.
