Israeli startup Electreon has introduced the world’s first commercial wireless charging terminal for buses, marking a significant leap in electric vehicle infrastructure.

Electreon‘s terminal, located in Rosh Ha’ayin, allows 24/7 wireless charging for electric buses in Israel’s Petah Tikva and Rosh Ha’ayin areas, serving the public seamlessly as part of regular transportation services. Oren Ezer, CEO of Electreon, expressed satisfaction, stating, “Public electric buses will be able to charge efficiently, economically, and almost without using ground resources.”

The project, executed in partnership with Electra Afikim, a major Israeli transportation operator, involves an income of approximately NIS 5.8 million ($1.3m) in 2023 for Electreon. The company, beyond technology provision, manages all construction phases, including electric infrastructure and civil engineering works.
