Los Angeles Is Building an e-Highway
The e-highway consists of an overhead catenary system that will run along the outside lanes of both sides of the road, sort of like the overhead wires that provide power to electric buses, trolleys, and trains in cities. Specially outfitted hybrid or all-electric trucks can attach to the system using automated current-transfer devices called pantographs. Once connected, the trucks will pull all their power from the overhead lines, effectively becoming emission-free vehicles.
I’ve always wondered why no one was doing this, it seems like such a no-brainer! How hard would it be to make a Model S connect to it?
