There's notably no solid claims about charge rate. It feels wildly impractical. Trying to send even a modest charge is going to be difficult. Doing so without losing 50%+ efficiency is going to be deeply difficult. I have a hard time imagining projects like this ever succeeding.
What I do imagine ultimately, one day working out is autonomous charge vehicles- vehicles that follow ahead or behind that run a charge cable to your car.
- verdverm 4y agoWhy would we ever need charging while driving? Battery and charging station improvements should be sufficient.
- rmason 4y agoOne example is a bus charging while parked at each bus stop. Or a parking lot where the car was charged while sitting there. You could even have solar panels overhead powering everything.
- rektide 4y agoI both tend to agree, but also ask why not? We can decrease land usage in dense areas, charge auto-chargers off peak, give people some time back. I dont think it makes sense today but if we do get better autonomous charging, adding some 1MW chargers to the highway makes some sense. Trying to find a safe way to link guidance systems together safely is hard hard hard but ideally the auto charger wouldnt take up much highway space, especially while charging.
- aitchnyu 4y agoDamn, I forgot about the AI tentacle cable. I thought tow vehicles add kinetic energy which can be converted to charge.
