TOKYO, Oct ‌5 (Reuters) - Japanese ​automaker ​Honda Motor said on Monday it has developed ‌technology that can wirelessly charge ⁠electric vehicles, including large trucks, while ‌being driven, and ‌plans to test the technology on a Japanese highway.

• Honda ​plans to test the technology along with construction firm ⁠Taisei and road builder Taisei Rotec in ​the financial year beginning in April 2027 or later, it ​said in a ‌statement

• The system, developed by Honda's research arm ⁠with the two firms, aims to transfer electricity wirelessly from charging ⁠units embedded in roads to vehicles ​in motion, which could lead to fewer charging stops

• A Honda engineer declined ‌to comment on the cost compared with a ‌conventional high-speed charging network, saying ⁠economic viability ‌would need ​to be assessed
