South Koreans are designing a road that has contactless power strips designed to recharge electric vehicles on the move. The plan calls for 20 cm (8 inches) to 90 cm (35 inches) wide and perhaps several hundred meters long power strips built into the top of roads. The power strips are contactless and uses magnetic induction which makes it safe to touch. The idea is similar to a recharging station used in waterproof electric toothbrush. The cost of installation cost of the system is estimated at 400 million won ($318,000) per kilometer of road.
