Couldn’t you theoretically charge an electric vehicle by driving through magnetic fields?

As far as my understanding goes it’s possible to create power with a magnet moving around a wire coil.

Couldn’t we use this effects and charge electrical vehicles by driving over magnets (most basic idea)?

If you mean current EVs then we can’t do this because they do not have the necessary inductive charging components.

There are however companies that make aftermarket kits to charge your EVE wirelessly when parked in your garage, so it’s not outside the realm of possibility.

Whether you could DRIVE a car like this by surrounding entire roadways with inductive charging fields I’m not sure. I suspect not as it would be hard to provide power fast enough.
