Technology Overview





Online electric vehicle, also known as OLEV, is a type of electric vehicle that runs on electromagnetic induction. In layman terms, the OLEV that allows the transfer of electric power using magnetic fields imbedded in the roads. Developed by The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), OLEV runs on electricity that is wirelessly fed into the bus from the tracks in the ground. The distinct difference between the OLEV and electric vehicles is that the OLEV does not need charging stations because it charges wirelessly while running on the road. This feature enables the OLEV to operate on a smaller battery as compared to an electric vehicle’s battery.
