Electric buses charge wirelessly through their tires while driving
Original: "Tires instead of a plug: Electric buses that charge during operation" # EV # ElectricVehicles https:// techxplore.com/n
New reporting from TechXplore describes electric buses that recharge during operation, using their tires rather than a plug to deliver power. The approach could let public transit fleets run continuously without stopping to charge, addressing one of the main practical hurdles for electric bus networks. The story is circulating among electric vehicle enthusiasts on social media.
Why now: Interest in new charging technology that could remove range and downtime limits for electric public transit
