Can vehicle charging-roads power our electric future?

In most cities, highways encompass a massive surface area that is expensive to maintain considering the cost of surface maintenance, lamp posts, signage, and electric vehicle charging stations.  But over the last decade, scientists and startups have been working on a solution: the EVs themselves. By harnessing some of the energy generated from the road’s surface, electric vehicles can reduce road infrastructure and charging costs. But how did we get here, and what does it mean for the future of electric vehicles?  Let’s take a deep dive into the science. Don’t worry, I’ll make it easy to understand.
