Electric buses in the two cities of Genua and Turin, Italy, run since 2006 on batteries. They get a boost during longer stops (e.g. at terminal station) via inductive charging. The system was provided by Conductix Wampfler. The bus lowers a receiver loop on the emitter coil. Transferred power is between 60kW and 120kW at 95% efficiency.

The EVER project (ElectricVehicle on Electrified Roadway) shown on Phys.org, allows electric cars to charge through four inches of concrete--like that used on a typical road--with the vehicle's tires picking up the charge as it rolls along.

I still remain puzzled by what problem induction charging is supposed to be addressing. It seems to require a garage with a fixed placement of cars. Even back when I had a garage, there were times when I would need to reshuffle what was parked where. Not a problem with cord-based chargers, but a non-starter with induction charging.
Is it really so hard to plug the car in physically when you park? I don't have any troubles doing so with my phone.

My wife has one of those pads you lay your phone on to charge. Same solution to an even lesser problem.
