“As the fuel revolution begins in earnest and we begin to reduce our dependence on petrol, one key question remains: How do we charge up on the go? While many electronic refuel stops are now being built alongside roads across the country, a Japanese team of researchers has come up with another method, after demonstrating a way of sending electricity through 12 inches of concrete. The technological achievement could see cars being recharged through special tyres that could such charge up through the tarmac while on the move. The Toyohashi University of Technology say there are no technological hurdles to bringing ‘EVER’ – or Electric Vehicle on Electrified Roadway – to the roads, other than gaining mass-approval and adoption.” w/ photos
