You could, in theory, disconnect the motor from the inverter, then connect some subwoofers. Not sure how 3 phase would work with audio, however...

Hey, since it's electrical energy, maybe the roads could transmit energy that to the car while you drive. Try that with gas...
For example, at MIT again (dang, they do a lot) they lit a 60w light bulb from a power source that was 7 feet away.

If you have superconductors, you could just use existing radio stations for power. No additional infrastructure needed.

So just make a superconductor practical for that application and then EVs will have essentially unlimited range...
