A consortium led by French motorway company Vinci Autoroutes plans to test inductive charging of electric vehicles while driving on a section of the A10
While I’d like this scenario, I don’t see it realistically happen in my country, Slovenia. At least not to degree that we’d have a working public transport.That leaves us with cars and the idea mentioned in article has a lot of merit.
Because public transport requires a lot of investments in infrastructure (trains) and a lot of that into vehicles, drivers and maintenance, plus there would be a lot of non-profitable lines, specially when you have a fragmented country. Also a vision from politicians. They would understand “relatively cheaper” one time investments better, and EVs are the thing politicians like to speak about all the time.
IOW we won’t see working public transport ever, while this … it might happen. Emphasis on might.

Why is this less likely than maintaining tarmac roads with electrical inductors an over the place?
