Wireless charging our 4xe?

[Phluffhead]

Kind of a pad to drive on? Or sensor in garage?
Not my best idea but....

Imagine if the roads were made of wireless charging pads

Y’all don’t get wireless charging until they bring back full service gas stations for us gas minions?

Move to Jersey

Instead of the government subsidizing the price of the EVs, they should get some of the people sucking on the taxpayers teet to show up and plug in these vehicles. Possibly even unionize the EV Pluggers, create a whole new job industry.

have them riding around on bicycles, have a cheap sensor trigger an alert when an EV needs to be plugged in

Would we call them electron pedalers or peddlers?

But then I’d be in Jersey?

Shouldn’t be people like you pulling this duty to teach others? we have an overflow of snarling class teachers.

Buying a gas guzzler like the 4xe to save the planet is idiotic in itself

Id like to see wireless charging. Pia plugging in all the time

Turns out Indiana agrees with you:

Electrified roads? Hard pass.

We can’t even get pot holes right.

Given the state of our roads, and highway infrastructure in general, I really doubt this would be a sensible option. Not to mention, accounting for rain, snow, road debris, freeze/thaw cycles, and general wear and tear from hundreds of thousands of vehicles (including commercial buses, trucks, utilities, snow plows) rolling over it at speed.

Also the logistics of managing how many vehicles can get charged, how segments get repaired, how drivers get billed, and the sheer amount of additional cabling, trenching, transformers, and other infrastructure to support.

Nah. A better idea would just be a wireless charging pad, within an enclosed space, with the vehicle parked during charging. Much simpler to implement, install and manage. Well, assuming you work out a safe method to deliver electricity wirelessly safely.

Oh, and we drive Jeeps. Knowing that jeep people immediately slap on bigger tires and lift kits on them, I would imagine they would be out of spec for the charger ground clearance almost immediately.
