H.B. No. 3895 mandates the Texas A&M Transportation Institute, in collaboration with the Texas Department of Transportation, to conduct a comprehensive study on wireless energy transmission for electric vehicles. The study will focus on various methods, particularly magnetic induction, to wirelessly transfer power to moving electric vehicles. It will evaluate the feasibility of these methods for implementation on Texas roads, prioritize toll roads for potential application, and estimate the financial and other benefits of such implementations.
The bill requires the Texas A&M Transportation Institute to submit a report to the legislature by September 1, 2026, detailing the study's findings and recommendations. Additionally, the act is set to expire on December 31, 2026, and will take effect on September 1, 2025.
