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!
There are actually some testing going on now using overhead cables.
Wireless is horribly inefficient but direct contact works fine.
The problem is to outfit thousands and thousands of lane miles or roads...is incredibly expensive both initial installation and ongoing maintenance.
For reference, most power utilities are gradually moving toward underground power because of the cost of upkeep on overhead lines.
