In this episode we talk with Stefan Tongur of Electreon. The discussions focuses on the constraints and challenges that are posed by current infrastructure models and the possibilities of in-ground, inductive charging. The interesting part is not that charging inductively can be done, which has been done for quite some time (think of your cell phone on a charging pad), but rather that Electreon offers a dynamic chaging technology. 

They have piloted and demonstrated the technology across Europe and in Israel, and are now working with the city of Detroit to put in a wireless, dynamic charging along a route with both transit buses and commercial vans. 

One of the most interesting parts of the discussion is the thought process of how this technology can be applied to existing roads and the potential opportunities this poses for both municipalities and private industry.
