The challenge is not the technology itself, but funding, standards, scaling it out etc etc.
- woodruffw 3y agoGiven that it doesn't exist yet (and that the only comparable example was partially decommissioned), I don't think we're in a position to claim that the technology is ready. We've barely had the "easy" wireless charging scenario (small, stationary devices, low power draws) for a decade; it isn't even remotely clear that vehicles sizes and speeds, clearances, road conditions, etc. have received adequate consideration yet.
