Marketplace Morning Reports' new Skin in the Game series explores what we can learn about

money and careers from the $300 billion video game industry. Plus, here how an Oakland-based

program helps young people get the skills they need to break into this booming industry.

Listen to Skin in the Game and more from the Marketplace Morning Report wherever you get your

podcasts. EVs are spawning all kinds of new technology, including,

Brace Yourself, the Electric Road. From American Public Media, this is Marketplace Tech. I'm Lily

Dremale. If you drive an electric vehicle, you are well familiar with the nagging fear that your

across the Atlantic, are expected to skyrocket over the next few years. That's due in part to a

law passed by the European Union this spring. Requiring new cars sold there to have zero carbon

emissions starting in the year 2035. That, of course, has European countries racing to install

enough infrastructure to keep all those EVs charged. Enter this on the road tech that Sweden is

planning to build, which the BBC's Adrian Murray reports would be a first of its kind.

In the turn of London Southern Sweden, I'm being taken for a spin along evolution road.

At the wheel, it's Dan Zethroyus, founder of Elon Road, the firm behind the technology.

It's a demonstration of an electric road that transmit power to the vehicle both when you stand

still and when you drive. This is a regular city asphalt road, but embedded at the centre of

one lane is an electrified rail. The benefit is that you can drive much longer with less batteries

and you don't have to stop and charge. And this is especially important when you have
