I'm a big EV fan, I drive an EV, but the jurisdiction I'm in had zero subsidies or incentives for me to purchase it. I am also extremely against spending government money on any of this. EVs are simply better than gasoline vehicles for most use cases, note I did not say all, I said most. As such, they don't need any government funding. As for wireless charging it's a stupid idea, I don't even want a wireless charging pad in my garage at home, let alone buried under all the roads. Because unless you dig up every road, which seems very unlikely, especially the roads in the middle of nowhere, you'll still need the big battery in your car, most likely the only place they would ever install these is the same places where you don't need the extra range. Because those places you need the extra range are also the places farthest away from the electric grid. No, the right answer is what we're already seeing larger batteries with more power density and newer chemistries that are bringing down the cost of those batteries along with bringing down their weight size and complexity. Wireless charging roads are a bad idea all around.
