It was Nikola Tesla who first noticed that a current flowing in a wire would induce a current to flow in a nearby conductor. 130 years later, this is the way we charge our electric toothbrushes. But will this transfer to the arena of electric vehicles?
I doubt it.
The challenge that the proponents of inductive EV charging face is that the world is steadily replacing gas- and diesel-powered cars and trucks with EV that are physically plugged in when not in use.
If I were betting, I would say that inductive charging is appropriate only to vehicles like shuttle buses that make stops at well-defined places.
Sadly, a significant number of U.S. voters believe what House Speaker Mike Johnson says here, i.e., that “God isn’t finished with America yet,” and that “We need people (from the Republican party) of character and integrity,” as if there are any.
But what is that number, roughly?
After living through the first 18 month of Trump’s second term, with all the lies, the incompetence, and the corruption, this number has dwindled to a point that the Republicans are bracing themselves for the worst.
Republicans Manipulate American’s Ignorance — and it Doesn’t Take Too Much Skill
I’m sure some of these excuses are extremely common in the minds of those making huge profits by destroying our planet.
