The Electric Car That Doesn’t Have to be Charged [Electric Cars]

This car-built by students at the Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences-doesn’t need charging. It really is powered by energy sucked straight from the road, using electric induction. Like the Powermat gadget chargers , but in motion.

The E-Quickie is like an entire-scale slot racer but without rails. It doesn’t must be involved with any metallic surface because it gets the energy through induction, sucking it from electrical conductors embedded on the road itself.

While the automobile is just too small and slow-only 31MPH-it shows promise. Their tests were successful and now they may be working to make it lighter and reduce the energy consumption. [ Automotto via Gizmag ]
