I am very interested in this car actually, I am just wondering on the companies ability to perhaps (god I'd love it) convert a vehicle to australian standards, which pretty much involves the drivers seat being changed to the other side

As for the columnitive circuitry, gallo I am in no way defending second. I am have actually considered your idea.

The premise is a good one, but the only problem with using circuitry such as that to charge the vehicle is that the distance between the vehicle and road would have to be a lot closer then one would like for a car traversing roads.

For instance, the power being used through the roads circuits would have to be able to reach through the four to six inches of road (tar, gravel, ashphelt) and then the distance to the car between it. I am familiar with the technology your refering to, a similar theory was produced with powered magnets under main roads to spin an "alternator" for I believe the G1 GM vehicle atleast on the main roads for longer distances

But you are refering to the same method of charging as my electric toothbrush

I can imagine it working perhaps through the wheels but the current generated would be dismal at best do to the constant moving of the "coils" beneath the wheels (in the road). Besides that point, there isn't much surface contact so..

But any way, this car still has a great appeal. Think of course that it may just be possible to have a "spare" battery.
