Stanford team develops plan for electric highway:
"With new state regulations demanding an increase in the number of clean and green cars, the future is looking bright for electric cars, such as the Nissan Leaf.
The problem is, most electric cars can’t go more than about 100 miles without being recharged.
But a team of Stanford University researchers may have come up with a novel infrastructure design that could solve this problem. They see a future in which magnetic fields could transmit electrical currents on highways, charging cars while they drive.
“Our vision is that you’ll be able to drive onto any highway and charge your car,” said Shanhui Fan, an electrical engineer at Stanford and a co-author of the paper."
