The front-wheel-drive Kia Ray EV is powered by a 50-kW electric motor and a high-capacity 16.4kWh lithium ion polymer battery pack, and has range of up to 86 miles on a single charge. The Ray EV is also loaded with some innovative new technology.

The Ray EV weighs 412 pounds more than the gasoline model, but is still closely related to the 1-liter gasoline powered Kia Ray CUV. The Ray EV can share a production line with the conventional combustion-engine cars, Kia said in a press release.

Online Electric Vehicle (OnlineEV)(olev) he Korean system has developed technology that was pioneered in California in the 1990s, and claims to have overcome several problems including shielding users from the potentially harmful effects of electro-magnetic radiation. A similar system, for tramcars, was patented in 1894 by Nikola Tesla, US Patent 514972.[2] but it was not developed at the time. Inventions of 2010. Online Electric Vehicle (OLEV) is an electric vehicle using electromagnetic induction. On Tuesday, 9 March 2010 researchers from The Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) launched a public transport system[1] using a "recharging road". Electric power strips have been buried 30 cm (12 in) deep under the road surface and connected to the national grid. Pick-up equipment underneath the vehicle then collects power through non-contact magnetic induction which is used either to power the vehicle prime-mover or for battery charging. The demonstration system is a trackless train with an electric tractor hauling three passenger cars. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
