The photo shows the car getting a 16kW charge rate while driving at 5mph. So you could get 16kWh of energy if you drove on this kind of road for an entire hour, at 5mph. Pretty worthless.
Or super great for EV’s in urban environments.
Another application would be to run the wireless charging under the parking areas on urban streets and provide car charging for urban residents who use street parking.
Great they are doing the study so we have a good idea of the costs and efficiency of wireless grid EV charging.
Uh… no? Nobody drives at 5mph for more than a few hundred yards in a parking structure. That’s my point in that sentence, and why I went on to speculate on a possible real-wold use case, using many assumptions that may turn out to be wildly unrealistic.
