I'll state my idea again. 1) Run power lines over the interstate the same way they do for other mass transit systems. 2) Have the car tap into this with a hook like you see on a city bus. 3) The car uses the power for long distance while on the interstate and charges the battery for the shorter hops "off grid". This takes a shit pot of new power in the grid, but it eliminates the need for huge batteries and long cycle times. Using this approach, I could drive the 18 miles from my home on battery, the 400 on the interstate on the powerline, and the 20 back over to karl's house in Florida all on my small battery car. Slap a meter on the car and bill me for the power. Now all we need is 200 new nuke reactors to put the juice in the grid and bye bye diaper heads. 2011-05-16 12:18:14
