    When I read the title I was hoping they meant embedded wireless charging in the roadway. :(

    I have a feeling they'll screw it up. Either it'll be really slow chargers where you have to wait hours to fill up, the chargers will be down a lot, or there'll only be a few chargers there and a long line of cars waiting to charge. Or it'll be in remote areas where people can't go and grab a bite to eat, safely at least.

    If they carefully plan out where to place them where they'd be the most effective and in a safe area where lots of people will be around most of the time, and give people a place to get out of their cars for at least half an hour, along with placing enough of them to handle demand, then maybe it'll work.

    this is exactly what is needed on I-95, if we're going to travel the east coast in 200 mile bev's.
