content: Hang on, isn't there already one near Arlanda airport? That uses slotcar-style pickups in the road?https://eroadarlanda.com/It was installed in 2018 and has been almost silent since.Isn't there another one further south near Malmo which uses overhead wires?Sweden truly is the world leader in vehicle-charging roads.
