This is obviously hilariously cost inefficient and a bad idea for other reasons, but it's unclear to me why you think that 2.8kWh in a mile is a bad result here

Most EVs use something like 0.2-0.4kWh/mile. So in fact even at 10% efficiency you could drive forever if this stuff was scaled out.

- oh_sigh 3y agoI think the problem is that it is massively expensive compared to asking car drivers to stop for 15 minutes every 200 miles.
- r00fus 3y agoThis is't 2.8kWh per mile. There's only 1 mile being built. So you maybe get 2kW for driving that stretch - assuming you have the inductive capabilities in your car. Does any car support this yet? A nice theoretical boondoggle when we could be building out rail or funding deployment of actual charging stations.
- throwaway22032 3y agoI totally agree. Just raising the fact that 2.8kWh/mile if actually true works fine.
