Currently, firms like WiTricity are testing coils buried under roadways, creating electric highways. The anticipation of mainstream acceptance is shadowed by complex engineering and strategic roadmapping. How close are we to seeing it on a street near you?

Critics argue this innovation may lead to infrastructure disruptions. The cost of insertion and repairs during emergencies renders some skeptical. Do these voices foresee realistic barriers, or can doubts be quelled through transparency and testing?

Advocates propose incremental deployments and pilot programs to evaluate multisector impacts. Success could redefine daily logistics, EV designs, and even how we think about travel. But could unforeseen challenges derail these ambitious ambitions?
