Inductive EV Charging

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.
