I didn't say nothing can be done. I said your idea can't be done successfully. Multiple people have told you it won't work, it violates the laws of physics no matter how hard you roll your eyes.

You want to do something to charge an EV while it's in use? Put solar panels on it, mind the aerodynamics. Get one of those old WWII hand crank generators and get your cardio while you are at it.

Ultimately, the only idea I have heard that might be actually functional and not pie in the sky "I don't know what I am talking about but it sure sounds good listening to me talk" thinking is a wireless charging system imbedded in the roads. No idea on cost effectiveness or charging efficiency.



I talked about the road charging earlier. I just figured there are a few smart people here on the board who might think beyond "the law of physics". Those laws only apply on this planet I am pretty sure... drinking


The funny thing about science is that if you change one miniscule parameter you change the entire outcome to the way you want it.
