Detroit is now home to the country’s first chunk of road that can wirelessly charge an electric vehicle (EV), whether it’s parked or moving.
Why it matters: Wireless charging on an electrified roadway could remove one of the biggest hassles of owning an EV: the need to stop and plug in regularly.
It doesn’t have to, but who wants to subsidize people driving unnecessarily large vehicles for recreation?
I get ~4 miles per kW (and around that mark isn’t unusual for a lot of others) but a Hummer EV is substantially worse at 1.6 miles per kW.
Didn’t know Hummer make EV. And god it’s still as inefficient as always.
