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.
