Top Gear - Captain Slow's brilliant idea..

Whenever TV's 'Top Gear' features electric cars, you may be sure of two things:
 1) They will run out of battery power in the most inconvenient place;
 2) Jezza Clarkson will be chortling with glee.

But when they (finally) reached the seaside, Jezza & Captain Slow (James May) went on some dodgem rides - thereby giving Captain Slow a brilliant idea:
   Overhead power transmission for electric cars on motorways.


It's not as silly as it sounds, i reckon.  Better still, magnetic charging via underground cable..

Possible?  Don't know, but tougher technical problems have been successfully tackled, so why not!
