STOP doing inductive loops in roads to charge battery electric vehicles

DECADES of transportation network yet NO USE found for inductive battery charging

wanted to have an electric bus that didn't need large batteries anyway? we HAD a TECHNOLOGY for that, it was called trolleypole and overhead catenary

LOOK at all these inextinguishable fires that they made for us with our rare earth metals (these are REAL incidents, made by REAL battery electric vehicles)
