Example: In Detroit, MI they want to develop charge as you drive roads. Why? Most people in Detroit couldn't afford an EV anyways? Not to mention location is everything. Charge as you go roads should be major highways. Now add to the fact just how effective that system is going to be? Lack of charging stations is a big factor as well. So are only Major cities allow to charge as they drive? Here's a better question why hasn't anyone developed a self charging EV motor yet? I heard rumors Chevy might be working on it.

It gets better when you figure in the US power grid, right now there are times of day that parts of California don't allow high-power appliances to run. Then figure in most of the charging stations have diesel backup for charging the cars. It starts to make you wonder if anyone has thought about this before pushing people to go all EV. I don't have a problem with EV cars but I'm not sold on the execution of the overall plan...
