Well... I suppose you could have a proposal for an electrified highway. Like the electric trains and buses, there would be an overhead wire to carry power to the car. Only, since there *is* no overhead wire where you want to go, you could do a coast-to-coast "demonstration" by having two extra vehicles. The one in front holds up the front end of an overhead wire; the one in the rear holds up the rear end of the wire. Springs keep it taut despite variable vehicle spacing. Your batteryless EV, with its catenary to pick up power from the overhead wire, could drive anywhere between the two! :-) -- Lee A. Hart Ring the bells that still can ring 814 8th Ave. N.
