These are like two different problems, though probably compounding. Allowing vehicle charging while moving is an interesting problem, regardless of where the power comes from (well, it’s way easier if it’s attsched to the truck).

I don't think the solar road is meant to charge the cars while driving, it's just a place to install solar panels.

Same thing is it not? Wireless charging would be nice, or the trollybus tech.

Not necessarily. Driving over a solar panel doesn't charge your electric car.
