CNN News: 無線充電新前景

As gas prices have gone lower in the U.S., it has generally meant lower sales for electric cars.

隨著美國天然氣價格下降，這也就意味著，電動車的銷量也會降低。

More Americans have been going with gasoline powered engines. Part of the reason: most electrics, with the exception of the more expensive Tesla brand don`t go that far on a charge. A gas powered car could drive more than 300 miles on a full tank of gas. Most electrics can`t go 100 miles before needing to recharge.

越來越多的美國人在使用汽油發(fā)動機。部分原因是，除了昂貴的特斯拉品牌外，大多數(shù)電動車一次充電并不能行走的距離不如沒有汽油發(fā)動機車輛行走的距離。加滿天然氣的汽車可以行走300英里，而多數(shù)的電動車輛一次性充電只能行走100英里。

It`s practically instinct. The light comes on and you search for the nearest gas station. Every once in a while, panic sets in, but we usually know fuel is close by. The problem: oil is not sustainable. A solution: electric, but it has its physical limitations.

幾乎是出于本能。警示燈亮了，你就會尋找最近的加油站。每隔一段時間，恐慌就會襲來，但是我們知道燃料就在附近。但問題是，油是非可持續(xù)能源。解決方案：電，但是電也有物理限制。

The biggest challenge right now is what we call range anxiety. It means people are really worried about this new technology and they feel like they`re stranded at some point, right? Battery is empty and they can`t go any further.

現(xiàn)在所面臨的最大的難題就是我們所說的里程焦距。這意味著人們真的擔心這項新技術(shù)，他們覺得自己陷入了某個困境。電池沒電了，不能再繼續(xù)前進了。

Right.

對的。

And that is often the number one reason why they will not buy an electric vehicle. This technology could completely revolutionize that.

這是很多人不會購買電動汽車的首要原因，但是這項技術(shù)會徹底革新。

The technology Claus is referring to is called dynamic wireless charging. It works just like the wireless internet, but instead of getting you online, it charges your car as you drive.

克勞斯將這項技術(shù)稱為無線充電家屬。它就像無線互聯(lián)網(wǎng)一項，但這樣技術(shù)不會要你上線，而是在你開車的時候，給汽車充電。

Oak Ridge National Laboratory is a transportation testing facility run by the U.S. government. Their mission is to solve the world`s transportation problems and that means convincing automakers, consumers and taxpayers that it`s worth it to rip up America`s interstates.

橡樹嶺國家實驗室是一個由美國政府管理的運輸試驗裝置。他們的任務是解決世界運輸問題，這意味著說服汽車制造商、消費者納稅人相信需要將美國的州際公路重新整頓。

How do you retrofit roads to become wireless charging stations?

如何將道路改成無線充電站呢?

One of the current scenarios is that the coil could actually be embedded in the roadway. Those are the part that would be placed in the roadway or placed in the parking opportunity.

現(xiàn)在的一種情景是將線圈潛入道路中。另外一部分線圈將會馬路上或者裝在停車處。

So, this would be embedded in the road?

那么，線圈將嵌入在路上?

You actually have flashed at ground level.

但實際上，你開車時是一閃即逝的。
