Electric cars recharge using highways IPT magnetic field

Almost time to sell your EXXON, Shell,... stocks lol

Maybe we won't even need plugs to recharge electric cars in the future. It will be like magic: Simply drive around and the whole thing gets powered wirelessly with help from magnetic fields. The New Zealand-based company HaloIPT recently unveiled its commercially available charging technology that makes that magic possible.

The missing part of the equation is energy coming from nuclear fusion reactors instead of fossil fuel burning If the NIF reactor works out... hopefully Obama will see the light and make this priority number one.

give me a 350 hp 327 ci gas powered v8 any day over that POS.

Obama saw the light, those Tesla cars are all over the highways by now.... right?

Implementing this concept will take some time... 10 to 15 years maybe ?

These Tesla cars are beyond the concept stage AND the pocket books of 99.% of the population.

I'd love to have a Tesla roadster.. a bit too steep for my pocket. However the Nissan leaf, Chevy Volt might do the trick

Here are the top ten right now

Don't waste your money on an electric car.

Presenting the Jaguar C-X75 prototype:

Consider the numbers, because they are fabulous: The C-X75 can reach 330 km/h (205mph) and sprint from rest to 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.4 seconds. It will do 80-145 km/h (50-90mph) in just 2.3 seconds, yet for a range of 110 km (68 miles) puts out zero tailpipe emissions while running solely on lithium-ion battery power.

Coooool

 

[pixelsmith]

wow. a whole 68 miles on the battery. nice.

LOL, I forgot to add:

As the numbers show, the C-X75 is NOT a golf cart. No golf cart comes with four 145 kW (195bhp) electric motors - one for each wheel - that combined produce 780 hp. Each motor weighs just 50 kg and putting a motor at each wheel makes this concept a four-wheel-drive ride. Two micro gas-turbines, spinning at 80,000 rpm, can generate enough electricity to extend the range to 900 km (560 miles), while emitting just 28 grams of CO2 per kilometre.

Jet turbines

C-X75 has two ‘micro gas’ turbines

Flaky batteries mean electric cars can often only travel short distances on electric-only power. Indeed, the C-X75 can manage just 68 miles on its battery juice alone. But Jaguar has found a way to ‘top up’ the batteries using super-efficient jet turbines. Yes, really.
Apparently, the C-X75’s two ‘micro gas’ turbines, which spin at 80,000 rpm, can generate enough electricity to extend the range to 560 miles. And the best news is that they produce just 28 grams of CO2 per kilometre.
As an alternative to jet power, which uses conventional fuel from the supercar’s 60-litre tank, drivers can top up the C-X75’s batteries using a regular household mains supply.

LOL, I forgot to add:

I happen to love CO2, if they could boost the CO2 emissions I might be interested.

Meh !

 

[pixelsmith]

CO2 is very old school. In fact, we would not be here without it.

Electric cars are cool but they will not replace fossil fueled cars for a very long time.
BTW - I have an owners manual for a 1915 Detroit Electric.
