“…A Goodyear [BH03] concept tire approaches [electric-car-range anxiety] with a way to charge an electric car while it's rolling down the road…[I]t takes the heat generated while driving and transforms it into electrical energy that could be used to recharge a car's batteries…Details on the tire, which is constructed with a layer of thermo-piezoelectric material, are a bit vague…The BH03 tire is also designed with ultra-black textured patches meant to absorb both light and heat. Sunlight warms up the tires on a parked electric car, adding to the heat that can be transformed into electric energy…These tires may not reach the market anytime soon, but they do give us a fascinating glimpse at the future of high-tech tires.” click here for more
