The funding for a study aimed at creating an integrated inductive charging corridor for electric vehicles in Ptolemaida, Greece, has been approved under Greece's Special Program for Just Development Transition (2021-2025). This initiative falls under the priority area of 'Green Cities' and involves a total public expenditure of 186,000 euros. The project aims to develop an innovative pilot infrastructure that will enable dynamic inductive charging for electric vehicles and will incorporate photovoltaic road surfaces.

The proposed pilot infrastructure is set to be built on a road section near the National Centre for Research and Technological Development (EKETA) facilities in Ptolemaida, with plans for its replication and scaling along strategic road axes. This endeavor is expected to set the necessary conditions for the next phase of infrastructure implementation, helping to foster smart, climate-neutral transport systems and enhance national expertise in this field.

Ultimately, the goal of this project is to drive forward the development of sustainable transport technologies and facilitate the transition towards more environmentally-friendly urban environments. As electric vehicles become more mainstream, such initiatives are critical for ensuring the necessary charging infrastructure is in place, supporting both local economic growth and environmental sustainability.
