NOVELTY - The system has strip-like weight sensors (1) provided on a road to be aligned with direction-of-travel on the road and being adapted to sense weight of a vehicle to enable power supply. Water repellent electrical conductors (2) of the power supply are provided on the road to be aligned with the direction-of-travel. Flexible electrical conductive brushes (3) extend downwardly from the vehicle for contact with the electrical conductors. The electrical conductors comprise a metal touching plate formed with a water repellent coating.    USE - Charging system for an electrically-driven/electrically powered road vehicle i.e. electric car. Can also be used for a heavy duty vehicle e.g. public bus and lorry, commercial vehicle i.e. taxi, pure electric vehicle, hybrid vehicle and fuel cell vehicle.    ADVANTAGE - The system disables power supply to the conductors if leakage current to surroundings is detected for prevention of power leakage causing electric shock and injury with no power wastage, thus reducing operating cost of the system with high efficiency. The conductors are positioned at bottom of narrow channels in the road surface so as to improve road drainage. The system allows charging of electrically powered vehicles without any overhead charging conductor or line and triggers power transfer from the road to vehicles only without causing electric shock to other objects on the road and with no need for precise alignment between an on-board battery and a charging facility. The system ensures that electric circuit is only connected with identified cars but not other cars or other objects on the road, thus allowing other road users or pedestrians to walk or move safely on the roads. The brushes close the electric circuit between the vehicle and a power source from the road, while allowing the vehicle to move freely on the road.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is also included for a method for charging an electrically powered vehicle.
