OnLine Electric Vehicles (OLEV)


Hey everyone,

So for the first topical post of this blog I (Monica) would like to discuss OnLine Electric Vehicles which is an emerging technology. Today, Wireless technology has the ability to deliver electric power to moving vehicles. It is expected within next-generation electric cars, there will be pick-up coil sets under the vehicle floor that receive power remotely through an electromagnetic field that broadcasts from cables installed under the road.
The current will be used to charge an onboard battery that is utilized to power the vehicle when it is out of range. As the electricity will be supplied externally, these vehicles need only a fifth of the battery capacity of a standard electric car, and can achieve transmission efficiencies of over 80%. Online electric vehicles are currently undergoing road tests in Seoul, South Korea.

Gumin (a city in South Korea) will have the world's first wireless electric bus in operation from July 2013 developed by KAIST (the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology).

I think the emergence on these electric powered vehicles would impact greatly on society as they are effiecient and a lot more cost friendly.

  1. Technology is spread in every industry and automobile industry also included in it. Electric car manufacture try new things to produce energy to run electric cars instead of batteries and other things.
