Batteries are expensive and heavy. Plus range anxiety.

If this allows for cars to have a 50 mile battery range while still being able to travel unlimited miles on highways, it would be a huge win.

Exactly. The article doesn't expand on this point but this is capable of charging multiple vehicles in motion. More charging points at stations, shopping centers, etc would still require people to stop and wait.
