South Korea: Environmentally Friendly Public Transportation
An Online Electric Vehicle (OLEV) gathers power via magnetic charging from strips below the road’s surface. The power is used either to drive the OLEV or it is stored in a battery for later use. This brand of charging, called “inductive charging” is used in some electric toothbrushes that get power via a magnetic connection while in their cradle.
In the next few years, KAIST researchers hope to get the OLEV system up and running in buses and roads throughout the cities of South Korea. The projected cost of installing the system is about 400 million won or $353,500 per km of road (not including electricity).
