Charging an EV is hardly inconvenient but this is still a small bit of convenience that I think people will love.

That picture makes it look like a Babylon Bee piece.

i'd still prefer plugging in because no way that thing doesnt get run over

And it has to be less efficient as well. And that would be on top of charging inefficiencies that already exist.

I wonder what the large oscillating magnetic field would do to other things

Probably built to withstand that. But the inefficiency would be my bigger concern.

Also, stepping on that has to make you sterile. That and 5g are going to give us

Still pretty inconvenient

The biggest advance will be the increase of range on the electric vehicle. Wireless charging is good, but I still go on

This is why they need to build a car where the entire exterior is solar paneling

I could have sworn Fisker did that with one of their vehicles.

You go on trips where you drive for more than 10 hours straight without

11/30/20 8:49am

If I am alone or just with my boys we can do 6 hour stretches with the limiting factor being the range of our fuel tank.

We have a diesel straight 6 in our SUV. We usually leave either right after dinner or 0 dark thirty to get on the road.

That is a possibility and has been mentioned in some auto industry committees meetings...

Is this the old "solar highways" idea I heard about years ago?

JmThms

Solar highways has been kicked around for a couple decades, who knows if we'll figure it out anytime soon.

Tokolosh

11/30/20 9:36am

My reading of some initial solar road trials says it has been a failure.

Ubiquitous charging is more urgent than range

Agreed that more charging availability needs to increase. I'm not looking at adding weight of more batteries to increas

After reading the 8-day off road test with the new Rivian, I'm convinced I'd need 800 mile range. The Rivian literally

I have been plugging in my car for 3 years.

Yep, not a "needed" technology but one that would see adoption.

Tokolosh

There is an in-road charging system developed that uses copper set in the road
