Detroit's newest road can charge electric cars as they drive on it (www.axios.com)

Detroit is now home to the country's first chunk of road that can wirelessly charge an electric vehicle (EV), whether it's parked or moving.

Why it matters: Wireless charging on an electrified roadway could remove one of the biggest hassles of owning an EV: the need to stop and plug in regularly.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source; check me out at GitHub.

Haha I assumed this was to bill the EVs so that it would cost more to drive them than ICEs.

I'm perhaps too cynical these days.

Great. Great! We need innovation like this.
