@ChaveEed43873 @MarioNawfal That lane will probably be like a toll or whatever other charged route that other states have (in Texas it’s tolls)

Two words: Energy efficiency
whats the cost of being energized per day (never mind the charging) I’m worried
about loss. Is it really worth
digging up the roadway?
unless you were repaving already.
not enough customers yet.
Eventually this may be cool
for residential no touch charging in garage.
or at a restaurant chain.

Nobody was supposed to be scared of a Gremlin. That was the whole point. AMC introduced the subcompact in 1970 as a cheap, fuel-efficient economy car to fight off the Volkswagen Beetle, the Ford Pinto, and the Chevrolet Vega. Then a dealership in Mesa, Arizona decided to drop a 6.6 liter V8 into one and ruin everything for everybody at the traffic light.
Grant Randall and his sons had been AMC's equivalent of Royal Pontiac or Yenko Chevrolet since 1967, hopping up Hornets and Ramblers and publishing a full performance tuning guide they called the Speed Bible. When AMC finally made the 304 cubic inch V8 available in the Gremlin in 1972, the Randalls immediately noticed something important. The 304 and the 401 shared identical external dimensions, meaning the swap was completely straightforward. They pitched the idea to AMC corporate. AMC had no interest in building one themselves, but had no problem shipping engines to Arizona.
AMC sent exactly 20 401 engines to the Randall Brothers for conversion, making authentic 401-XR Gremlins extraordinarily rare. With 255 horsepower and 345 lb-ft of torque stuffed into a car weighing around 2,600 pounds, the 401-XR ran the quarter mile in the high 13-second range completely stock, straight off the showroom floor, for just $2,995.
Car Craft tested a well-optioned example with optional cam, exhaust and ignition upgrades and posted a quarter mile run of 12.3 seconds, faster than most factory muscle cars of the era that cost twice as much. Car and Driver simply called it the Street Sweeper and left it at that.

Florida’s future depends on what we pass on to the next generation.
We must keep our state safe, grow our economy on our terms, protect the industries and resources that make Florida special, and fight for true education.
I want our kids to have every opportunity to lead, succeed, and live the American Dream right here in the Free State of Florida.

Beware the empathy exploit.
Empathy is good and right when thought through (deep), but can be deadly to civilization when simply stimulus-response (shallow).
For example, releasing a repeat violent offender may feel good at first (shallow empathy for the criminal), but it is wrong to do so when that person will go on to hurt or murder innocent victims, as there should be deep empathy for future victims.
