Detroit is now home to the country's first chunk of road that can wirelessly charge an electric vehicle (EV), whether it's parked or moving.

Why it matters: Wireless charging on an electrified roadway could remove one of the biggest hassles of owning an EV: the need to stop and plug in regularly.

Now when will the capitalism kick in and if you don't pay your monthly sub you don't get road charging

Roads are paid for via taxes

Why would you expect something like that to be free or even one-time payment?

Electricity definitely cost money even when the city or state pay for the infrastructure, which is really unlikely.
