An extensive review on road‐powered electric vehicles (RPEVs) is provided in this chapter. RPEVs are attractive candidates for future transportation, as introduced in the previous chapter, because they do not rely on large and heavy batteries but directly and efficiently get power while moving along a road. The inductive power transfer systems (IPTSs) that have been widely used for the wireless powering of RPEVs are reviewed in this chapter. The development history of the IPTS is tracked from the origin of the RPEV in the 1890s to the recent RPEV. Throughout its hundred‐year history, the size, weight, efficiency, airgap, lateral tolerance, EMF, and cost of the IPTS have been substantially improved, and now RPEVs are becoming more widely commercialized. Important milestones of the developments of the IPTS and RPEVs are summarized in this chapter, focusing on recent developments of on‐line electric vehicles (OLEV) that were firstly commercialized in 2013. Some pictures in this chapter are reused in other chapters to give detailed explanations.

    This chapter is rewritten based on the literature of the author, C.T. Chun, by S.Y. Choi, B.W. Gu, S.Y. Jeong, and C.T. Rim, “Advances in wireless power transfer systems for road powered electric vehicles,” Journal of Emerging and Selected Topics of Power Electronics, vol. 3, no. 1, pp. 18–36, March 2015, and by S.Y. Choi, G. Buja, C. Mi, and C.T. Rim, “Modern trends in wireless power transfer system for road powered electric vehicles,” IEEE Trans. on Industrial Electronics, accepted for publication.
