I've noticed mention of wireless charging being the solution to the 'how do people in town charge their EVs'? .... there are supposed to be experimental systems being trialled .... as the average mobile mast transmitter has 10 watts or so of output and is way up high somewhere, but to charge a street of even a modest EV in an hour will require 60Kw to be transmitted to each car every 4 metres or so along the street .... as the laws of physics are largely non-negotiable I struggle to see how this can be done without microwaving passing dog-walkers. To shove the required energy into a battery in the required time will be the domain of old fashioned wires for the forseeable future would be my guess ... which brings us back to the logistical problems of charging.
