Sweden opens world’s first electric highway
As a part of their efforts to achieve an oil-free future, Sweden has now officially opened a 2-km long electric highway named e-way, near the city of Gävle in central Sweden. As current electric-motoring technology based on batteries is just good enough to make small passenger cars viable, the Swedish government tied up with Siemens and Scania to build the electric highway in order to power large trucks and buses.
