As I traveled the interstates this holiday I considered the practicality of using some sort of "third rail" induction charging for sections of the highway. I'm sure this has been discussed somewhere before but I was thinking of maybe 2-4 mile strips of high energy charging capacity. At 60mph you'd get a 2-4 minute charging boost, if you needed more you'd slow down to 30mph for twice as much. With an Altairnano type 10 min recharge battery you could almost get a complete charge from a 30mph pass over a 4 mile strip. Of course this would take a massive amount of capacity, so more likely than a full charge would be lower capacity partial charge strips.
What say ye all?
