Electric buses are being developed to eliminate the need for traditional charging stations by using tires that generate electricity while in motion. The innovative system harnesses energy from road vibrations and friction, converting it into power to extend battery life. This breakthrough could revolutionize public transportation by reducing reliance on fixed charging infrastructure. Engineers are testing prototypes to determine efficiency and scalability before potential widespread adoption.
