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.

Trump Rejects Pride Month Spending???
Responding to the reader who sent me this, two questions:
Is anyone asking the federal government to fund Pride Month?
Has Trump done a single thing to help homeless veterans?

Bruce Springsteen
Someone asked my opinion of Bruce Springsteen.
I don’t know why this is so controversial. Considering that Trump’s approval rating is grossly negative on all key issues, does it come as a surprise that people are expressing their displeasure?
