Electric car drives for 100 hours non-stop. MAGAs panties getting moist.

When are 20% going to be wireless ?

99% of all long trips at least partly involve less than 1% of roads, so we could do it all with just 1% of roads: basically the highways.

There's no comparison between fiber optic cable installation and trying to do what this thread's OP proposes. To install an induction charging system on a highway with presumably more than one vehicle using it is a far more complex problem.

Think of it this way:

The cable laid in the roadbed is the primary of a transformer. You must use AC power to inductively couple the cable's electrical current to the vehicle for charging.

Each vehicle acts as the secondary of the transformer.

Because the cable would run down the length of the road, you would have to account for line losses in voltage due to the resistance in the cable. This means you have to periodically install buck boost transformers along the cable to bring the voltage back up to the one being used for charging.

Next, there's the problem of the amperage being drawn by charging changing dramatically with the number of cars doing so along the cable. More cars charging, more amperage, bigger cable needed.

To make it as effective as possible, you also need to get as many turns in the cable making it a coil, as possible. That gives you the strongest electric force in coupling. You might also add an iron core to the coil to increase this more. All of that makes the installation more complex, expensive and bulky.

The bottom line here is, that while this can be done experimentally on a limited length of track using a single vehicle, it would be impossibly difficult and expensive to do down miles of highway where the number of vehicles charging could vary wildly.

Indeed and just imagine the number of capacitors needed to keep the power factor close to one.

The ideal power factor of one has never been reached.

That you did not know that Car companies have been using oval tracks for decades to test their new car mileage, tire life, and other factors is just another in a long list of your ignorance.

You truly are stupid to all things life, until i explain them to you.

lol.....you are an idiot and prove it here daily......the issue isn't that companies use oval tracks.......the issue is that some fuckwit was stupid enough to start a thread bragging EV could now drive a hundred hours going around in circles on a road that will never be built and another fuckwit was stupid enough to not realize it........

[PostmodernProphet]

Think of electric bikes where you can peddle for periods to ease the load on the battery and extend its life.

proof of concept, EV are great if you provide something else to power them when they suck....

The problem you have is that you are both an idiot and liar and we do not need to wait for any time period to prove it.

YOu are FLAT OUT LYING about the OP and what the TS said in it because the truth does not serve you. If you stick to the truth and fact you know you have nothing. The only thing the TS did was post the article noting a scientific breakthrough, noting that alone would rustle republicunts, and it did.

And do not pretend now that you had any clue that your attempt to mock the oval track means you know that is the norm of how things are done. We are not going to let you backpedal on that one. You stupidly thought you had a gotcha point until i educated you, you then googled and learned i was right, AGAIN. As ALWAYS.

Did this sound like an intelligent reply in your head? As it is not. You should probably get someone smarter than you to proof your posts before submitting them. Maybe someone in Grade 3.

[Damocles]

That would be freaking cool. It would be awesome to be able to travel about the USA without ever having to stop for fuel...

[PostmodernProphet]

Oval track

I wasn't making fun of the oval track, fuckwit.....I was mocking the incredibly stupid lib'ruls who were dumb enough to fall for it........watch the silly cunt back track and pretend he never believed EV could really drive 100 hours non stop......

Electric car drives for 100 hours non-stop on futuristic road
The 100-hour drive of a Toyota RAV4 is a new world record, startup says
An electric car has driven nearly 2,000km (1,250 miles) without stopping to charge as part of a demonstration of an electric road that wirelessly charges vehicles as they drive.
Israeli startup Electreon claims the achievement is a new world record for the longest time and distance ever driven non-stop by a passenger electric vehicle (EV), taking just over 100 hours to cover 1,942 kilometres.
The stunt was completed using a specially adapted Toyota RAV4, which drove in circles around a track fitted with Electreon’s Wireless Electric Road technology.
The startup claims its tech can solve some of the fundamental challenges facing widespread EV adoption, including range anxiety, slow charge times and battery size.
“The objective of this 100-hour non-stop driving rally was to demonstrate the unlimited technical potential of Wireless Electric Road technology to power EVs to drive indefinitely with a minimal battery,” said Reuven Rivlin, Electreon’s honorary president.
“This is yet another clear signal that our Wireless Electric Road technology is ready for large-scale commercial projects globally.”
Electric car range set to double with first production of breakthrough battery
The five-day drive involved 56 different drivers, with the vehicle only pausing momentarily to switch between drivers.
Electreon plans to develop its wireless charging technology for vehicles alongside Toyota, having signed an agreement with the Japanese automotive giant in March.
“This partnership will make wireless charging accessible to a diverse and wide range of drivers, and will demonstrate the many benefits of wireless charging as a cost-effective, clean solution for charging EVs, as well as a catalyst in reducing EVs’ carbon footprint,” Electreon chief executive Oren Ezer said at the time.

Whoopie. So a car drove on a specially constructed circular track for 100 hours without recharging. Meh.

The cost of this on regular roadways is outlandish.

According to the U.S. Department of Energy, the number of charging ports in America more than doubled from 2018 to 2022.

A wide range of companies, including Walmart, Shell, Subway, and Mercedes-Benz, are getting into the market. And Ford recently announced that its cars will be compatible with Tesla’s expansive charging network starting in 2025.

In the next few years, as more new cars become battery-powered, millions of Americans are projected to be driving electric for the first time. They’ll be getting used to a new technology that is inherently different than what they’ve known for decades. Thus far, public EV chargers have largely served early adopters, committed environmentalists, and a small subset of commuters. Now that EVs are becoming practical, high-range family cars, their drivers aren’t going to accept compromises or risks when they’re taking kids to school or trying to get to work on time. They’ll expect the same level of convenience they get now.

In short: Americans will need more public chargers if the goal of drastically reducing carbon emissions from cars is to succeed. Right now, drivers who want to do that may be nervously eyeing the charging networks in their areas or along the way to places they want to travel, wondering if they’ll be able to do everything in these new cars that they’ve always done.
“I think [public charging] is the thing that is, right now, in the way of mass adoption,” Ferro told me. “Five years ago, it was range. Now the infrastructure is deterring those people who are just not gung ho about getting an EV.”
I’ve seen this growth, and its continued challenges, firsthand over a decade of testing and writing about cars. Five years ago, my first experience in the Chevrolet Bolt EV involved spending the better part of a day looking for a way to charge up in New York; now four public plugs are within walking distance of my Brooklyn apartment.
But I still often have to wait for those plugs to open up, or deal with gas-car drivers who park there instead. Driving out of town in any EV besides a Tesla (the company’s proprietary Superchargers are regarded as the most abundant, easiest-to-use plugs out there) still requires planning—and a little luck. I might encounter public charging stations with no open stalls, broken chargers, proprietary payment apps I don’t have, or charging speeds too slow to be useful. On top of that, chargers simply remain too rare.
Help is on the way from the Biden administration’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. Over the next few years, the government will dole out $7.5 billion in grants for EV charging, a massive, multibillion-dollar gift to the private sector that comes with strict requirements for reliability, user interaction, and accessibility.
Success will look like a national network of chargers that “work every time” and “are able to be used by any driver, any EV, anywhere,” Gabe Klein, the executive director of the Department of Energy’s Joint Office of Energy and Transportation, told me. That office just announced a coalition of national labs, charging providers, and car companies (including Tesla) to work on making charging more reliable and seamless.

...and each one requires a long time to recharge the car.

Electric is the future of the auto industry.

You've chanted this before. Less than 1% of the cars on the road are EVs. Ford just introduced a new V8 gasoline engine (over 500hp!) to be used in trucks and larger cars.

[Into the Night]

When are all the roads going to be Wireless?

When pink unicorns dance in the sky.

[Into the Night]

Imagine highways that charges cars and trucks while they drive on it. It would require only a small percent of the roadways to be modified, but would charge just about all long trip vehicles.

Imagine paying for them (including the power used by them). Imagine the horror maintaining these roads is going to be.
