A method and apparatus of powering vehicles includes delivering a voltage across two road-based conductors and receiving one pole of the voltage by a first conductive surface of a first tire of the vehicle. The first conductive surface is in electrical contact with a first road-based conductor of the two road-based conductors. A second pole of the voltage is received by a second conductive surface of a second tire of the vehicle. The second conductive surface is in electrical contact with a second road-based conductor of the two road-based conductors. The voltage conducts from the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface into a charge circuit of the vehicle, thereby providing power to the vehicle for charging and/or for motivating the vehicle.
