The State of Washington for a highway “electric”

It is a route of Interstate 5 (I-5), not far from where I live. I have learned that some of the I-5 from Oregon to Canada is expected that a huge metamorphosis receive.

In fact, the government has granted $ 1.32 million U.S. dollars to this part of the I-5 freeway to transform power. This is not a road that is completely electric, but to create one for the electric car. He has 10 Level-3 at 80 miles Cradles intervals. Given that the Chevrolet Volt, Nissan Leaf to about 100 miles on a single charge, which sounds like a good distance control.

Of course, my source was quick to emphasize that the load of a normal electric car can be up to 30 minutes, and that would make for a long journey to the border. However, I wonder if that is what these plants do on the road are electric. I have many cases on the side of the road, the companies have, to see how they offer food and entertainment, so why not these judgments electric motor?

Well, whatever the case, it is a step towards a future electric cars. I suppose if all run out of oil, it will be like Cassandra, we'll need more electrical lines.
