Here is an idea... what if we combined the idea of the hybrid (gas and electric motors) with the kind of electricity rail along major highways. Meaning, along your local parkway and interstates there could be some way for your car to contact a railing or something on the ground in the middle of the lane that would provide electricity to the electric motor. If you went to pass or switched lanes, the car's battery would provide energy. parking lots could also be equipped to charge cars while parked. When driving in your neighborhood, sidestreets, and rural areas, the gasoline part of the engine could be used. Any problems with this approach?
