Copper studded tires and roadbed smart cables would let electric vehicles travel indefinitely. As the USA electrifies its energy distribution, more power lines need to be constructed. They might as well build them in the diamond lane road beds.
Do you have any idea how much that would cost and how impossible it would be to insulate to prevent power losses Ive.seen some bad ideas on FR but congratulations this it probably in the top 20%.
“Copper studded tires and roadbed smart cables would let electric vehicles travel indefinitely.”
Dare you say the efficiency of the energy transfer of such? Jim Rob forbids personal attacks thus I shall not post anything about your understanding of physics.
Clearly NOT 'indefinitely'. Reality would set in at the first attempt. For starters, you need to get the power into the roadway. It would take some mighty large diameter wires in to carry the electrical power requirements for an expressway. Then you need to get the power from the rotating tires into the electric motors. Then you somehow need to keep everything away from the road so nothing is electrocuted. "Smart" cables, indeed.
Then there's the whole issue of driving off the "smart" road. Do we need "smart" dirt?

Right after many coal, gas and nuclear power plants are built to support such a venture. Oh no! They are decommissioning and closing them in the name of environment. Squires then?
