From the article:

“He says the system can be built into existing roads to reduce costs. He estimates that putting in a highly developed version of eRoadArlanda’s technology would cost about 1 million dollars per kilometer. That amount sounds like a big number and could add up fast over thousands of kilometers. But Saell says the cost is still a lot less when compared to other transportation infrastructure projects.

“If you build a city tram in an urban area, the cost for that is more than 50 times higher than one kilometer of electric roads.”

He added that the vehicle equipment also costs much less than systems that would require electrical equipment above ground, such as railways or street cars.”
