The most intriguing aspect of the electrical roads are that the rails are connected to power grids. These grids are not constantly powered but only get power when there are cars running on them. Needless to say, this is a totally unique energy-saving step. The total consumption of each vehicle is actually kept in check by the setup which accounts each user or driver for their own electricity charges for driving down the electric roads.
