Employing dynamic pricing strategies in the marketplace could save consumers as much as 6% off the retail electricity price, according to the new paper, which envisions future wireless charging highways that allay so-called "range anxiety" about low batteries on longer trips.

"Electrifying transportation is great, since you can eliminate carbon emissions," said senior author Oliver Gao, the Howard Simpson Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering in Cornell Engineering. "You can energize your car while driving in the charging lane. But if you're managing a charging highway that can provide energy to cars, you're buying and selling electricity on an industrial scale. We're trying to suggest a smart business strategy."
