Time to set aside the chains of worry that have prevented us from jumping on the electric bandwagon — Korean researchers have figured out a way to make us forget all about charging stations and cruising ranges with their magnetically recharging road. The Online Electric Vehicle (OLEV) you see here went into service yesterday and can now be found towing three bus-loads of tourists around a Seoul amusement park. It operates on a battery five times smaller than conventional EV juice packs and can collect its power through non-contact magnetic transmission from the recharging strips in the ground. We’re also told running costs for this system are a third of what a typical EV would require, and should it prove successful and find itself expanded to the public transport system, only about 20 percent of bus routes would need to be electrified — at bus stops, crossroads and the like — with the rest being covered by the power stored inside the OLEV. Here’s to hoping it all works out.
Korea starts testing ‘recharging road,’ might make it part of its public transport system originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 10 Mar 2010 08:42:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
