I’ve used a Tesla to travel nearly 30,000 miles visiting national parks. Usually the car is ready before I’ve finished my bathroom break or snack or lunch.

This car is 100% solar and the wheels are where the electric motors are to drive/power the car. (a new video dated August 4, 2020, for details)

These will run along motorway lanes and be used for heavy trucks. The vehicles will travel under their own battery power to the motorways and then hook up to the overhead wire for the long distance part of the journey.
Its got to be far less disruptive than digging up tarmac.
Battery driven vehicles and tramlines, what’s new about that?
