The main issue with electric cars currently is for long-distance driving.
What would be the problem with installing overhead catenary wires above all interstate freeways? So that when someone enters a freeway they switch from batteries to current supplied via pantograph.
The road underneath would not need to be modified, so cost would not be astronomical.
Thoughts?
