Electric vehicles, although meant to be the wave of the future at a time when climate change has become a serious issue, face a major hurdle: getting them to travel as far as, or even surpass, fossil-fuel vehicles on a single charge.To overcome this hurdle, a research group at the University of Tokyo has been developing a wireless technology that relies on in-wheel motors to receive a charge while driving on a charging lane or section of roads embedded with power transmission coils. That, the group says, will allow EVs to get more distance without heavily relying on large-capacity batteries…READ FULL ARTICLE
