This just simply isn’t going to be an efficient, cost effective, or maintainable solution relative to alternatives. We’re also not going to have solar roads for the same reason. Sure take moonshots, but they should make sense from first principles.

Semi’s need ~30kW for unlimited distance with multiple drivers and about half that with a single driver and mandatory rest periods. Cars have significantly lower requirements making this a long way from a moon shot.
