@scottalanmiller is going to trigger @scottalanmiller with this post

I dig a lot of this, especially the "charges while driving" thing. It might be a little far off in terms of implementation, but it'd be a great idea for the wealth of parking garages here in LA.
The biggest thing that stopped me from buying electric was that I didn't have anywhere to plug in at my residence.

but for a decade now scientists have been able to transfer power through gaps up to 2 meters with efficiency nearing 100 percent.
Wow, nearly 100% efficiency?
Is this one of those lines where nearing actually means 50%, but hey they were only at 40% efficient a year ago.. so they are nearing...

lol. Just some quick research tells me somwhere between 50-75%, with the current average being around 52%

That's almost as close to not working as it is to 100%

Right, that's why I made the post - I realized as I was posting the quote that it actually said nothing.

Sorry, I didn't add the word "based". From the article:
Fuel-based discrimination. Diesel engines are high-torque, hardworking, and fuel efficient — but soon you’re going to keep ‘em down on the farm, and they’ll never see Paree. The French capital, along with Mexico City, Madrid, and Athens, plans to ban diesel vehicles through major sections of the city to cut down on air pollution by 2025, and cities all over the world will likely follow soot (pun intended). Taking things one step further, Oslo and Bergen — Norway’s two largest cities — plan to set up zero-emission zones by the same date, cordoning off sections of the city where gasoline engines are similarly exiled. So while you may still be fighting with double-parked delivery vehicles as you navigate downtown, expect them to be smaller, cleaner, and much, much quieter.

Why don't you support charging while driving?
Fuel discrimination?
The idea is to cut down on emissions, eventually I'm fully expecting that oil based fuels will be completely banned from transportation devices.

A few countries have that on the books already.
