Israeli wireless charging company Electreon said its dynamic inductive charging systems are now operating with silicon carbide power modules supplied by German chipmaker Infineon Technologies, enabling high-power electricity transfer to vehicles while in motion. The companies said Infineon’s custom-built 2000-volt silicon carbide EasyPACK power modules allow the system to deliver continuous charging power of around 200 kilowatts, with peak output surpassing 300 kilowatts. The performance was recently validated during live testing on France’s A10 motorway near Paris, where wireless charging coils have been installed beneath the road surface as part of a pilot led by motorway operator Vinci Autoroutes.

XCharge Europe and XCharge North America have partnered with Mexican charging network operator FAZT Charging to deploy high-power electric vehicle chargers at Soriana supermarkets across Mexico, using the retailer’s nationwide footprint to accelerate the country’s public charging rollout. Under the agreement, the companies plan to install fast and ultra-fast chargers at Soriana locations, targeting a total of 1,000 charging points by 2030. The first phase includes 30 stations scheduled to become operational by the first quarter of 2026, with a further 80 sites planned by the end of that year. The initial rollout is expected to activate about 440 charging…
Hofer, the discount retailer owned by Germany’s Aldi Süd, has commissioned charging infrastructure provider Allego to develop and operate a fast-charging network at nearly 50 of its store locations across Slovenia. The project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2026. The new charging stations are planned to offer high capacities, with installations providing up to $200$ kW or, where feasible, up to $400$ kW. Hofer stated that the chargers will be available around the clock and will offer competitive pricing.
