Tapping electricity from cars speeding on a magnetic highway is a fantastic idea. Already, highways are used to generate kinetic energy, but designer Fang-Chun Tsai has an electrifying idea for us: he suggests using the kinetic energy from speeding cars on magnetic highways to change a magnetic field to generate electricity.
It’s actually the world’s first national charging network for electric cars. That may sound a bit grand, for something quite wonderfully simple – a series of charging posts installed at motorway services up and down the country. Charging stations, for electric cars, that are easy to access and free to use (yes free). Enabling Britain’s electric car drivers to drive the length and breadth of the country – with all the convenience of simply pulling into a motorway service station to top up. We’re pretty chuffed with it, truth be told.
