I'm still laughing over Biden's plan to have charging stations every 50 miles on Interstate roads so it will be a while before I read this link.This Electrified Road Charges Your EV as You Drive

We have a better chance of getting ice cream machines every 50 miles.
Well they should put the ice cream shops right next to the charging stations, that way I will be able to have a cold treat every time I charge up.
yeah....guess how that turned out! LOL

Yet still no EV in your garage, amusing.

With current technology, the ideal scenario for an EV pickup would be a spare battery in the bed when needed, just like with a drill. Kill the power, unplug from the built in battery, plug in the backup.
For camping trips where you travel to a location with no charger, park for 3-5 days, and drive back, some type of high amp solar charger makes sense also.
Obviously both are cost prohibitive, so a local rental option might be the best plan for the most popular models, unless they could also serve as an at home “standby backup.”
I could see it being popular enough in CA and TX.

We already have them on interstates in MO. Most of the US Highways are covered too.
All this time I thought it was my tax dollars hard at work!
