They’d be better off spending the money on some way to keep highways from freezing over in winter to mitigate black ice and 50 car pileups.

White Construction has got to be a euphemism for some kick back Solyndra esk front.

They’ve got something like that in holes in the ground in New York City - I think they call them subways.

HOW about snow???

No worries. The cars won’t start when it’s cold.

What happens if I am standing on or walking across the roadway while it is raining in a lightning storm?

It will be sections of the highway close to town and cities so they can drain their power ?

And where will they get the electricity generation capacity to keep the roads charged?

(So at 60 mph, I am in that section for 15 seconds)

Correct

BUT the GOOD NEWS is it will be completely clogged with dead EVs blocking part of the highway 🛣️🛣️🛣️🛣️🛣️.

WHAT could possibly go wrong?

It snows in Indiana. Especially northern Indiana where the lake-effect off Lake Michgan delivers crippling cold and several feet of drifting snow two or three times a year.

...What effect will that have on wireless charging over an icy, snow-packed road?

BOONDOGGLE OF ALL BOONDOGGLES. Judging by the title, thought for sure this was a Babylon Bee article.

Well a car going 60 mph over a quarter mile of highway will be on it for 15 seconds. That’s got to be one hell of a charger they are putting in the concrete. And how many EV drivers will get on it and then stop till their car is charged up. I’d get me a lawn chair and a bag of popcorn and sit on the side of the road and watch the show.

I had EXACTLY the SAME thoughts as your post stated.

Somebody already said it but, "BOONDOGGLE" is what also comes to my mind. A good way to get Government FREE subsidy MONEY!

I’m no electrical engineer, but I know enough to ask what the energy transfer efficiency is. It has to be less than wired charging. EE’s to the rescue, please!

Methinks this will be hugely expensive.

Thank you for referencing that article DallasBiff.

"Seems like boondoggle to me. I'm surprised this is in Indiana, not Cali."


Maybe California elites have learned the consequences of junk science EV escapism remedy for government / industrial-manufactured climate crisis imo. But probably not.
