I haven't followed the issue for a while now, but there were a lot of discussions a couple of years ago about inductive charging highways and stationary inductive chargers that could be carried with a vehicle so that if a truck were parked at a work site, it could charge while parked.

These kinds of developments would affect the future of EVs in a big way.

Any idea of the resources needed to construct “inductive highways”? As someone who’s been in the construction industry all my life my guess would be unless there are advances in “room temperature super conducting carbon nanotubes” that can be added to paving materials it’s all “pie in the sky” and no one here will live long enough to see it.

If it was Elon who said that, guaranteed it will never happen.

He’s also said the Roadster would literally fly with thrusters and the glass on his semis would withstand a nuclear blast.
