In Tel Aviv, Israel, a tech company called ElectReon built the first EV charging road in the world (pictured above). Researchers at Cornell University are working on a similar road for the US, but instead of coils, they are utilizing metal plates under a specified “charging lane” for drivers to switch into when they need some juice.

Driving range will no longer be an obstacle, because customers will be able to plug their cars into charging units in any of the 500,000 charging spots in Israel. Shai Agassi predicts that Israel will have over 100,000 electric vehicles in use by 2010. In addition to Smart Grid City, another major EV/V2G initiative is unfolding.

Therefore, until we get quick-charge batteries -- based on new breakthroughs, Ill take a WAG and estimate that we will have real 5-minute quick-charge batteries in perhaps 10 years -- we are likely to get our juice mostly from our home chargers.
