@Pantsinabucket 3 роки тому
It does need to be a tech solution, or a massive overhauling and destruction of American cities. Streetcars have practically been erased from existence, and their infrastructure torn up decades ago. Train lines in the US (for example Chicago’s L) typically run solely from the neighborhoods to downtown, while most people commute to/between the suburbs for work, which leads to time-consuming and slow bus routes being the only public transport option. Most people also live in suburban environments, which are significantly lower-density and hence make public transport more expensive and less efficient. American cities have been completely rebuilt for the car, and you’re committing to a near-impossible task by trying to force everyone to public transport without addressing these issues that prevent it from being viable.

Efficiency is what wins the game. If we switch from ICE (3x% efficiency) to EVs (81-93% efficiency), we already won. Improving the charging infrastructure may have another benefit, though - limit speeds on the roads. I'd put it in the stoppage lane or the slowest lne, though - need a charge - drive for 2-5km in the "slow lane", get a boost and drive on. And take a loss of wireless charging - which is huge - 47% as "Nobody" commented.

It is highly inefficient, especially at that scale. When a cellphone is wirelessly charged, the loss is acceptable as the charger's efficiency is approximately 70% for that size of a system. When wireless car charging is implemented on roads, there will be at least 1 to 2 feet distance between the coil on the car to the ones in the road; the thing will probably be 30% efficient with a +/- tolerance of 4-5% due to uneven roads as well. Not really practical.

Gas always burns gas even stopped at a light, Hybrids always burn gas when moving, Electrics always have charging delays and range anxiety on a long day of errands. PHEV is my favorite! You get the no anxiety drive, point A to B on EV only daily to work. Anytime you need to go farther the gas kicks in for unlimited rang. In large Metropolitan areas the smog would reduce. Plug in at home while you sleep and full again every morning. Gas on the interstate, EV on surface streets.

Asphalt roads need to be resurfaced and repaired nearly annually. Resurfacing often involves adding new layers so might put the electromagnetic emitters and collectors deeper under ground over time unless you go through an additional process of removing layers and risk damaging the system. The basics might be relatively well known but specifics and details could be concerning.

@@shanewalker3273 if world needs 10 nuclear power plants to support all the electric cars in the future, if we use this type of roads then we will need 20 to handle the super inefficient power transmission. A world with nuclear power plants over the current renewable is debatable but probably is better. If we need 100 power plants in total in the future but because of this technology we will need 110 power plants, then this extra 10 power plants is not a wise thing to do.

Construction took 5 years to add an extra lane in a road that’s a quarter a mile on my way to work. And it wasn’t even a high way. Just a regular road. You’re gonna tell me an entire city is gonna have this?

It's great to see wireless charging roads helping us in cutting down the need for electric batteries but how efficient are these systems and with current technologies does the cutting of vehicular emission due to extensive production and installation of these coils justify the pollution which might be produced in the process of producing these?

It might be better if it reduces the need to mine lithium and cobalt.

Great concept, but according to me it will only be used in limited quantities, probably buses run by government might be profitable but only in the long run. The main cost would only be to put these not so efficient charging coils in the middle of the road where all cars will probably traveling in a straight line.

Wireless charging already in place in China a year ago

The Field Engineer cant even make a clear distinction between kW and kWh. NTM the Capex and Opex of this project is gigantically large, even developed countries will have a hard time implementing this.

Will this scale outside dense cities? If it is not viable to set up in rural areas/highways. It means having a vehicle that is handicapped in range and limits your options.

Roads are already stupidly expensive, adding more layers of technology to it would just make it a nightmare.

I like the idea of having a booster lane or a lane that allows a EV to charge wirelessly.

They say we are lacking lithium and all that for the batteries but they are putting massive copper coils under the ground. How is this better, cooper is to usefull to be used in such massive scale.
@icanpreachercurlyourgirl 2 роки тому
all we have to do is tear up all the roads on earth and install extremely expensive copper which is already difficult to find and then maintain everything. lol okay

Scenario: If All Countries are Successful with the Compliance for Renewable Electric Vehicles from Cars, Public Transport Buses etc. Are Nations have the 💯% Full Capacity to Recharged those EV mobility Transport system in the Long Run? 🤔
@RealGr33nGiant 3 роки тому
Why is there no mention of efficiency of the charging to the vehicle. Wireless charging is already inefficient for mobile devices etc. but those devices are usually touching so I feel like the inefficiency of their "solution" is magnified bc it's buried under asphalt as well as the distance between the undercarriage of the car and the road. I'm just curious if these are things their also working on and have potential solutions for.
@chauhannishith 2 роки тому
Do you want an even better answer? Over head cables on highways like cable car. You will only need it on long routes so you can start with buses and trucks only first as the wired route is the most efficient and the ones requiring the most range are handled first while we think about cars later

Even better : solar panels
@djmikex Рік тому
Amazing idea, in the future there will be a massive amount of electric cars. So the demand on charging stations will be extremely high, this is the perfect solution.

How much the effeciency of this tech from the grid to battery of the vehicle?
@idomaghic 2 роки тому
Honestly, just google "wireless ev charging efficiency" and report your top findings here; I think it's safe to say the efficiency is not an issue.

@DimaZheludko 2 роки тому
Totally. But then, why not make a dedicated charging spot there? What's cheaper - to make 10-20% more spare robots to charge them in cycles, or cover a huge portion of froor with not so effective transmitters?

Hydrogen fuel cell provide mobility like IC Engine. We should focus on how incorporate fuel cell.
