The battery would be required. You would of course need it to travel on roads where in-road charging was not available, and it would also act as a kind of a "buffer" between the electricity from the road and the motor itself. Otherwise your car would probably be subject to variations in energy such as spikes and drops.
Used "today", If current electric cars had the receiving coil in them now and there were highway lanes that were producing inductive charging, it would extend the range of cars like Tesla's and Chevy Volt's to thousands of miles per charge.
