If you're defense reference is to the Eisenhower interstate system, then surely you jest.
Because entropy.
Yet of course, but some dee dee dee will try it sooner or later, lmaoa.
Yep. And trolley buses are still widely used in many places around the world.
Roads being constructed in early part of the 20th century were for transport by wagons, horses, humans and some public transportation in the cities. Paved roads were only found in cities. Until the automobile became hugely popular and and the large powerful car makers started pushing for more paved road to help sales of their cars and most roads were not even roads they were just paths worn by wagons between places. Not until cars outnumbered horses was there any real push for roads and most townships constructed these as each town decided they needed them. The Federal push for a highway system started during the 1st WW as transporting troops across the country on muddy trails and dirt roads through towns, but even then they left the construction up to towns and counties and some roads only ran paved through 4 or 5 mile stretches because the next town did not have the money to pave. When EV's take either the majority or a very large percentage of highway travel then Charge and Drive might be something to consider but NOT for less than 1% of the vehicles on the road.
I see the alternative point of view as "we need to rip things out anyways so we might as well try things out here instead of elsewhere we should not tear out".
You can just stop charging when the light is green, gives them no incentive to stay. Actually come to think of it, I would put it in the middle of intersection instead: because there's always some cars passing through it and it is being used all the time. You can also increase the field strength because it is a short boost of energy instead of a long idle charge, so you don't need to worry about cooling.Plus you'll have people not wanting to leave the intersection, even after the light turns green.
If you're 10 cars behind, you'll be stopped longer than the first car at the light. So turning off charging as soon as the light turns green wouldn't maximize charging time for the cars stopped further back. Unless we're talking about a charging area so small that it only benefits the first car at the light and nobody else.
I was thinking only maybe first 3. Why would you build so many spot if not all will be occupied? If anything your money is better spent installing them in more intersections' first 3 spots instead of first 10 spots of fewer intersections.
Not kidding. oilBabe has a pacemaker due to an AV node block and we've avoided inductive cooking because it may not play well with her pacemaker.I wonder if there will be warnings posted on the roadway to people who have primitive pace makers? You know, the same warnings that restaurants used to put on the entry doors of a restaurant that used a microwave oven in the kitchen…
Kidding, folks. Kidding.
Sarcasm all the way, lmao...
