content: I'm still waiting for the following chargers. I'm sure we will see a fair share of these over the next few years.- Powerful ultrasonic transmitters in the road and receivers on the car to deliver kilowatts- Space station with solar panels shooting microwave waves directed at the car (in waves), following it around. Also available for military applications.- Same with laser- Quantum tunneling electrons from the road to the battery- Small amount of thorium or plutonium in the car provides nuclear battery like used on satellites. Recharging continuously.- Mr. Fusion- Windmills on the car- Driving on water because Nikola Tesla figured out just it is kept under wraps by the TLA (3 letter agency)- Car recharged by crypto blockchain and spam mailOr you know... Just plug it in the wall for a while.

content: Why not embed a pair of electrified rails into the road and conductive wheels on the EV just like what trains use?

No rails there.This is rather the concept of an electric trolley bus.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TrolleybusFunny enough, these buses were quite common 100 years ago.I'm still not sure if this is a good longrange concept. I guess not.

content: https://www.electreon.com/technologyQuoteMinimization of battery size ... What if there is simply not enough power in the road or the reduced battery size they claim to carry high loads that someone may require?They speak of the advantages but nothing about the disadvantages and what can go wrong with it.The claims remind me of something I once saw on television long ago with the electrical power as the money:https://www.quotes.net/mquote/856707Quote

content: Quote from: SiliconWizard on February 04, 2022, 07:59:05 pmNot practical to build tracks everywhere. The tracks can be for interstate highways (most likely just toll lanes) while city driving just uses regular roads. EVs are already at a point where the range is rarely a problem in the city, but long distance travel is still currently best handled by hybrids.
