What if while you drove, your electric car charged? Or if you parked to a run an errand, and instead of plugging in, your SUV topped up for 20 minutes all on its own while you went into the store?
Detroit is soon getting the first mile of road that can charge an electric car in the country.
But the project and the technology raises a lot of questions. How will this work? What happens if it rains? What about seasons? And more.
To help answer them, I called up Electreon's Stefan Tongur in Los Angeles.
That's the company that will be making this happen in Detroit. Electreon already has contracts for roads like this in their native Israel, as well as Germany, Italy and Sweden.
