Electric Highway (e-Highway) Market Report 2026

The electric highway (e-highway) market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $29.25 billion in 2025 to $33.6 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.9%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to government-funded e-highway pilot projects, rising fuel cost pressures on freight transport, early adoption of overhead line truck systems, infrastructure electrification trials, collaboration between utilities and transport agencies.

The electric highway (e-highway) market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $57.9 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.6%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to expansion of long-distance zero-emission freight corridors, rising investments in electric heavy-duty vehicles, growing adoption of dynamic charging infrastructure, integration with renewable grid systems, increasing policy support for electrified highways. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing pilot deployment of electrified road corridors, rising integration of overhead and inductive charging technologies, growing focus on freight electrification solutions, expansion of smart road energy management systems, enhanced collaboration between transport and energy sectors.

The rising demand for charging solutions is anticipated to drive the growth of the electric highway (e-Highway) market in the coming years. The demand for charging solutions refers to the increasing requirement for dependable, large-scale infrastructure capable of supporting the expanding fleet of electric vehicles. This demand is growing due to the rapid rise in electric vehicle adoption. As more EVs are introduced on roads each year, the need to develop reliable and efficient charging infrastructure intensifies to ensure uninterrupted mobility. Electric highways (e-Highways) address this demand by delivering a continuous, large-scale, and efficient power supply to electric vehicles, allowing smooth long-distance travel without frequent reliance on stationary charging stations. For instance, in May 2025, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA), a France-based autonomous intergovernmental organization, more than 1.3 million public charging points were added to the global total in 2024, marking an increase of over 30% compared to 2023. In Europe, the number of public charging points rose by more than 35% in 2024 compared to 2023, while in the United States, the public charging network expanded by 20% in 2024, reaching just under 200,000 public charging points. Therefore, the growing demand for charging solutions is fueling the expansion of the electric highway (e-Highway) market.

The rising adoption of electric vehicles is anticipated to drive the expansion of the Electric Highway (e-Highway) market in the coming years. Electric vehicles are vehicles powered by one or more electric motors, utilizing energy stored in rechargeable batteries rather than relying on internal combustion engines. The growth in electric vehicle adoption is primarily driven by stringent emission regulations, favorable government incentives, and heightened environmental awareness, prompting consumers and fleet operators to shift toward zero-emission transportation. Electric highways facilitate the growth of electric mobility by enabling dynamic or continuous charging, alleviating range anxiety, reducing the need for large onboard batteries, and enhancing the feasibility of long-distance and heavy-duty electric transportation. For example, in October 2025, data from the UK Department for Transport, a UK-based government authority for transport and vehicle statistics, reported that 112,785 zero-emission vehicles were newly registered in the UK, representing 19% of total new vehicle registrations, while battery electric cars accounted for 22.2% of new car registrations, an increase from 17.5% during April-June 2024. Consequently, the growing adoption of electric vehicles is contributing significantly to the growth of the Electric Highway (e-Highway) market.

Leading players in the electric highway (e-Highway) market are increasingly prioritizing innovations in electrified roadway systems, particularly inductive charging technologies that allow electric vehicles to recharge while in motion, improving operational efficiency and enabling sustainable long-distance travel. Inductive charging technology is a form of wireless power transfer in which electricity is delivered from coils installed beneath the road surface to a receiving unit mounted on an electric vehicle. This approach enables vehicles to charge as they drive, minimizing dependence on fixed charging stations and facilitating uninterrupted long-haul journeys. For example, in February 2024, the city of Detroit in the United States launched the country’s first wireless EV charging roadway - a quarter-mile segment along 14th Street in the Michigan Central innovation district. The project incorporates inductive coils embedded in the pavement that transmit power wirelessly to vehicle-mounted receivers as EVs pass over them, representing a meaningful milestone toward broader adoption of zero-emission transportation and more advanced EV infrastructure.
