Electrictric Lane That Charges Cars

Electric cars are very cool but running out of energy is not very cool. The british government has created a lane on a highway that charges your car as you drive. This is to help conserve stops to recharge your car. Most people charge their car at home, there are also portable chargers. But what if you are on a big highway without many stops? You can just hop no the charging lane and charge your car. Cables buried beneath the lane generate electromagnetic fields,  then your car turns it into electricity. The lane can detect when a car is coming and turns on so that it can conserve energy. For now the lane will be where regular drivers aren't allowed so that the government can run tests. The government is going to expand the number of lanes so they will have one about every twenty miles. A similar technique is used in South Korea where the shuttle buses get there power from underground cables.

I think that it is a great idea that Britain is doing this because it can help conserve the amount of stops that people take to charge their car. Also it helps because people can take less stops on a long journey so that they can shorten the time of the trip.
