Maybe because it was permanently plugged in, imagine the cables you’d have for permanently charging at home. There’s also a facility to have cars moving in train layouts now, without the scalextric groove.
Still got those heavy duty extension leads haven’t you 😂 I know there’s some roads (Norway?) where theres stretches of road you can charge as you drive, which is technically cool, but I guess, it’s nothing more than fantasy fr anything similar in the UK.
Contactless charging on the go would be fantastic but the UK model would mean a level of roadworks that’s just beyond acceptable. Then there’s the technology to know who’s supplying the power and how much each charge will cost. Ugh, that’s a headache I’m not going near.
