Beginning with "Diamond," or HOV lanes; a miles-long linear electromagnet is imbedded in the middle of the lane; hybrid and all-electric cars have a pickup coil installed underneath the chassis, so that the batteries are recharged by the underground electromagnet as they drive over the recharging lane. (This technology exists as "inductive power transfer," and is already a mature industry).

The only real obstacle (after paying for the installation, of course) would be determining how to charge motorists for recharging, I'm thinking road use tolls collected electronically and billed to motorists.
