This company based in Israel has been developing and installing roadway wireless charging starting in 2013.
After the initial Tel Aviv project proved successful, it is now being implemented in Sweden.
Boasts 8.5 kW rate @ 91% efficiency and is expected to increase that to 15 kW.

Very interesting, thanks @electriceddy Still very experimental and long way to go. They have done it on a 20 meter stretch, need to see how it works on 200 km stretch with a lot of vehicles trying to use it at once.. Lots of questions in my mind including how they will deal with many vehicles trying to charge simultaneously and at what cost. Copper cables are not cheap and often stolen. What amused me the most is this statement below. They have obviously not been to many cities in the US where the smallest repair to any road takes several weeks at the minimum. It is not as simple as they are trying to make it out.

Deploying our unique copper coils along a kilometer of road can be done in one night without interrupting daily life. After deploying our coils, the road is re-covered with asphalt, and we are ready to go
