Electric cars create range anxiety compared to gas engined cars, regardless of what Tesla
says. So far there have been three main ways to tackle that:
Make batteries much bigger, which makes them more expensive, heavy and hard to package.
Make charging must faster, which runs smack into all kinds of limits of physics and current chemistry.
Make charge locations much more numerous, but that requires your car be stopped for some time.
But a new idea is starting to take hold: Dynamic Inductive Charging. It puts charging pads in the road that couple to coils in the belly of the car that grab gulps of recharge as you drive.
After some testing in Europe with Qualcomm technology, a major U.S. pilot is planned in Colorado where the state will embed a section of public roadway with this invisible charging tech. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/charge-your-car-by-just-driving-it/
