A complete non-starter (pun intended) in the Northeast.
They are going to need to figure out Tesla's (the man's) secret sauce for his self claimed ability to transmit power wirelessly. But smart people who have looked into it have so far found no "there" there.
What they're talking about is a scaled up version of a wireless charging pad for a phone, so that means huge coils under the road surface, and a similar huge coil under the vehicle. It does work, but it would have to be paid for by vast numbers of printing-press dollars from Uncle Sugar and it would cause endless traffic disruption while the roads are rebuilt.
Note that wireless phone charging always take longer than a direct connection.
What you would see is people slowing down, or even stopping, when they realize that they're getting a charge from the road. Even more traffic congestion would result.
Robert Heinlein suggested a different approach in his 1940 story, The Roads Must Roll".
