One of the biggest problems for modern day EV's is maintaining a decent range while driving on Interstates and other fast highways. Range can be cut in half when traveling at a constant 70mph. The prospect of being able to charge as you go from one city to another is very compelling.

I can't see every road being equipped in this way, the cost would be prohibitive; but major thoroughfares could do so as resurfacing and rebuilding project are undertaken. If a 200 mile stretch of an interstate had say 50 miles of charging available a long journey with maybe just one 20 minute stop at a L3 charger becomes feasible and the journey could be done in similar travel times as ICE vehicles.

The concept of automated vehicles has been explored by Google, and by all accounts the experiment seems to be going better than most predicted.
