Another possibility -- the batteries could be recharged as one drives

Not possible. It's technically infeasible. Just somebody's funny idea based on a poor
understanding of physics/ / electricity.

Please tell me you're kidding: the technology to power electric cars
by induction has been available for years.

Can you elaborate ? I read the previous post as referring to 'induction coils' to recharge the
battery. The best kind of induction coil for energy transfer is a transformer of course. Coils
positioned in free air don't have remotely enough coupling to transfer any useful power.
