Induction charging is inefficient for small devices, what makes you think it’s going to be any different for something like a passenger car or, God forbid, a fully loaded rig?
You’d be better off just hanging catenary and bolting a pantograph on a tractor.

Doesnt really cover how it got enough power over wireless – and in some aeas, didnt cover how the wear and tear could cause problems over time. Could work if its wireless, but you are also wasting a lot of power trying to hit a moving target as well, so who pays for that? Transport or the interstates for example in the US? I also dont think you would recover much power over wireless – while it might shrink the over all battery, you still will need the battery to do most of the work.

Another day, another refusal to just hang wires.

Or we could use trains and busses
