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(guó)天然氣價(jià)格下降，這也就意味著，電動(dòng)車的銷量也會(huì)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(guó)人在使用汽油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)。部分原因是，除了昂貴的特斯拉品牌外，大多數(shù)電動(dòng)車一次充電并不能行走的距離不如沒有汽油發(fā)動(dòng)機(jī)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(dòng)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(huì)尋找最近的加油站。每隔一段時(shí)間，恐慌就會(huì)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(dān)心這項(xiàng)新技術(shù)，他們覺得自己陷入了某個(gè)困境。電池沒電了，不能再繼續(xù)前進(jìn)了。

Right.

對(duì)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(huì)購(gòu)買電動(dòng)汽車的首要原因，但是這項(xiàng)技術(shù)會(huì)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(xiàng)技術(shù)稱為無線充電家屬。它就像無線互聯(lián)網(wǎng)一項(xiàng)，但這樣技術(shù)不會(huì)要你上線，而是在你開車的時(shí)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(guó)家實(shí)驗(yàn)室是一個(gè)由美國(guó)政府管理的運(yùn)輸試驗(yàn)裝置。他們的任務(wù)是解決世界運(yùn)輸問題，這意味著說服汽車制造商、消費(fèi)者納稅人相信需要將美國(guó)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(huì)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(shí)際上，你開車時(shí)是一閃即逝的。
