    If the state is funding the project and and usage is covered by taxes, this could realistically be the future of individual transportation and widespread EV adoption, while also eliminating the need for charging depots. Where I could see this fall on its face is squabbling over how people pay for usage, and then consumers getting charged through the nose. But implemented properly in a public-minded way, this could be huge.

      Do you have any idea how inefficient this is? You can’t realistically charge a vehicle while it’s moving at a rate that makes this kind of investment worth it.

      Plus the cost to redo the road when it needs it.
