What - dig up the road and put induction loops in it? We haven't even got good broadband internet yet. Battery swap sounds reasonable.

- nkoren 9y agoI'm going to assume you're American; apologies if I'm wrong. Americans tend to assume that infrastructure is something that happened in the 20th century, and that nobody has the money, need, or capability for that kind of thing any more. But in fact, the world is spending over $3 trilion per year on upgrading and expanding its infrastructure (and for the most part, is much more efficient at this than America). Incrementally incorporating inductive charging systems into a small fraction of that expenditure will not be a major deal.
