Several countries, including Sweden, Denmark and Germany, are testing whether electric road system (ERS) can be used to electrify road networks.
An ERS charges moving vehicles with induction loops located in or next to the road, or with catenary wires suspended above the road.
All of these methods mean that vehicles do not need to be parked in order to charge and there is consequently less need for large vehicle batteries.
Proponents of the ERS idea claim that it will overcome "range anxiety" the worry felt by electric vehicle drivers about the distance their vehicle can travel before the battery needs to be charged.
Now researchers from Chalmers have used data from over 400 passenger cars to study real driving patterns on different parts of Swedish national and European roads.
They have used the data to calculate, among other things, the battery size needed to complete all journeys given possible charging options stationary versus ERS charging patterns, and total costs including infrastructure and batteries.

You know the dems are in love with anything Eurotrash so it's just a matter of time here.....I predict it to be the next "high speed rail" in CA.
Now one might ask "where's all that energy coming from?" but you're not supposed to ask questions like that, just listen and believe.
