The first generation of OLEV uses a conventional E‑type structure. The paper introduces three generations of on‑line electric vehicles (OLEV). The authors detail three OLEV generations, from a 1 cm air‑gap E‑type design delivering 3 kW at 80 % efficiency, to a slim U‑type mono‑rail bus achieving 52 kW at 72 % efficiency with a 17 cm gap, and finally a dual‑rail W‑type SUV delivering 15 kW per pickup at 71 % efficiency at the same gap. The third‑generation OLEV SUV achieved 15 kW per pickup and 71 % efficiency at a 17 cm air gap.
In this paper, 3 generations of OLEV (On-Line Electrical Vehicle) are introduced. The 1st generation of OLEV is conventional E-type structure. The air gap of the 1st generation is 1cm and the input to output power efficiency is 80% with 3 kW output power. The ultra slim U-type mono rail structure is applied to the 2nd generation of OLEV. This structure is applied to the OLEV bus which achieves 52 kW output power with 72% efficiency at 17 cm air gap. SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) equipped with the 3rd generation of OLEV named ultra slim W-type (dual rail structure) accomplished 15 kW/pick-up and 71% efficiency at 17 cm air gap
