Electreon hopes to wirelessly charge cars on the go (Credit: Electreon)

Electric vehicle (EV) sales have sharply escalated over the past three years. However, their overall global market share remains extremely low. It ranges from about 16 percent in China to just 4.5 percent in the US. One of the biggest hurdles to widespread EV car adoption is the fear of running out of charge while on the road. Israeli startup Electreon hopes to eliminate "range anxiety" by transforming highways into Electric Road Systems (ERS) that wirelessly charge vehicles as they drive.

      Yeah, I think so too, if the road can only recharge electrons’s cars, then people who can’t afford electrons’s cars won’t be able to recharge, thus global warming will still increase, but in a slow way. Even though it is very slow, it will eventually become a bigger problem, and will also be harder to solve as the time increases.

          I think this is a great idea! It will help the world and air pollution will go lower. This idea could change this world into its original green world, not that it isn’t! 🚘

                Futuristic? this is regular tech. People don't use EVs as much because sometimes it's hard to find EV charging spots.

                why can't they just make wheels electric generators?

                    because generators and motors work the same but one turns rotation into energy and the other turns energy into rotation so in theory, you need twice as much output to get half as much energy so its not efficient and were would you even put it

                      Smart idea, but it wouldn't be very efficient.

                    They claim it won't take much money and then we go bankrupt.
