And that will pale into insignificance compared to the cost of relaying the road network, building the infrastructure to provide power to the road, the cost of powering the road and maintenance. This would all equate to billions.

Good god, imagine the cost of powering that. Fancy a nice increase in your taxes do you? Increased carbon fuel usage, digging up the road network to relay conductive concrete...........the cost just keeps adding up and for very little benefit over the existing system.

And what do you think that is?

On the contrary I love new tech but sometimes there is no need to reinvent the wheel.

Rocksalt not table salt. In the cold frozen north it’s used extensively along with ploughing.

I’ve driven a couple of 9spd box’d Chrysler products and both of them had gearboxes that seemed to constantly change gear. You must be one of the lucky ones...........or I’ve just experienced what happens to said gearboxes when they are abused in rentals.

Yep, and in Alberta they have to go round and clear up the mess in the spring. It does an excellent job though.

You so funny, me love you long time

Ooh how I would have loved one of those when I lived in the frozen north.

Yep, saw some very porous vehicles when I lived in Alberta however modern cars are much better at preventing corrosion. I had an 8 yr old Hyundai that had survived very well.

You are not wrong. It could also be very useful for short sections of pedestrian paths and sidewalks.

That’s what a plough is for. Salt is fit de-icing, which is the intended purpose of the electrified concrete.

No pouring, no fancy chemicals. Spraying a salt mix is cheap, efficient and effective. Something like this electrified concrete might be suitable for runways but I can’t see it taking off for regular roads.

Read a little further..........

A wise move. It’s going to be in a 911 as well.
