China's march into the future of everything moved forward yesterday with the debut of an electric vehicle that can draw power from either on-board batteries or overhead wires, plus a demo of roads set up to handle such traffic.

Old hat: has been available on a German Autobahn since 2019 (test project):

But not just a closed test track like the Chinese but on a public highway...

And to be honest, this is actually quite a really old hat: there are trolley buses in many corners of the world…

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trolleybus

Invented by Siemens in Germany in 1882. I know these things especially in countries of the former Sovjet union (also in East Germany). In the USA, I have already driven Seattle with it...

These were in use in Wellington until 2017, when them and their unsightly cables were removed.

I was being a bit flippant with this post as it's use is so limited meaning it doesn't solve the issue of range anxiety
