If this works for the highways of Britain, it just might change the game for long-distance EV travel. A full charge of BMW’s i3, for instance, lasts 81 miles; it’s 84 miles for the Nissan Leaf and 38 miles gas free for the Chevy Volt. Those ranges are enough to cover most daily commutes, but insufficient for long road trips. Stopping for hours to charge up on the side of a highway isn’t going to make you feel much better about saving the earth. Picking up a charge without stopping, though, is one of the cooler things you could ask for from automotive refueling practices.
如果这一技术在英国的公路上得以实施,或将改变电动汽车的长途旅行。比如,一辆充满电的宝马i3可以跑81英里,日产聆风(Nissan Leaf)可以跑84英里,雪佛兰伏特(Chevy Volt)不用汽油能跑38英里。以上这些距离足以应付多数日常通勤,但长距离驾车旅行恐怕就不行了。为了充电停在公路边上好几小时,即便是节约了能源也并不会令你感到多好过。不过,说到给汽车充电这件事,无需停车即可充电是你能期待的最酷的事情之一。
Charging roads could pair well with another developing technology: street surfaces that generate their own power with solar panels. The Dutch SolaRoad bike path does that for a few hundred feet; in the U.S., Solar Roadways technology is planning for tests in sidewalks and parking lots in Idaho. Perhaps the smart roads of the future will not just make their own energy from the sun but transmit it wirelessly to a zippy fleet of EVs.
