A system for powering vehicles is disclosed includes a roadway having of a pair of road-based conductors that move vertically with respect to the roadway from a lowered position to a raised position or vice versa. A voltage is selectively delivered across the pair of road-based conductors. A first tire of the vehicle has a first conductive surface that is in electrical contact with a first road-based conductor and a second tire of the vehicle has a second conductive surface is in electrical contact with a second road-based conductor when the pair of road-based conductors in the raised position and the voltage is conducted into the vehicle through the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface. A power system of the vehicle receives the voltage from the first conductive surface and the second conductive surface and provides power to run or charge the vehicle.
