ElectReon Wireless (TASE: ELWS) continues to expand in Europe. This morning, the company notified the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange that it had signed an MOU with road building company Eurovia covering collaboration on promoting and constructing wireless electric road systems in Germany, France and Belgium. ElectReon's technology enables electric vehicle batteries to be charged on the move from coils embedded in the road. This promises greater range with smaller batteries, and fewer battery charging points installed on roadsides.
