Will Your Next Tow Vehicle be Electric?

Maybe build highways featuring touch less Induction charging lanes along every on ramp or at 50 Mile intervals! Just drive and charge at the same time!

Just thinking Trolley Buses and Slot Cars combined with current Induction charging pads! Possibly installed along Toll Roads would be the proper way to go!

Not likely in my lifetime!

Not being a electrical genius, and not trying to be an a** .... but if you’re traveling at say 65 mph, and wanted induction, or direct contact using the slot car analogy, the charging system can charge a moving vehicle faster than the draw? With trolley busses the city knows how many trolleys they have online at any one time so can manage the power grid. Not so on an open interstate.

Electric is coming sooner than the infrastructure to support it. Not unlike developers building hundreds of houses near an already overloaded intersection.
