Reducing greenhouse and carbon gases has been one of the keenest tasks in our world. The realization of a carbon-free tool has been urgently anticipated in many industrial apparatuses, machines, and devices, from household goods to power equipment. All the transportation gear, from kickboards (scooters) and bicycles to ships, airplanes, and spacecraft, are expected to be electrically driven by batteries in the near future, although some have already reached that point. One big concern of such electrified vehicles is the time-consuming processes of battery charging compared with the easy refueling process of traditional inner combustion vehicles. It would be better if we could charge the batteries of electric vehicles automatically while moving on roads or while parked.
