Volkswagen robot automates electric vehicle charging
27 Dec 2019|981 views
Volkswagen's latest robot prototype seeks to bring the search for charging stations for electric cars to an end.


The mobile robot brings a trailer with a mobile energy storage device to the vehicle and connects it. The energy storage device then charges the battery of the electric vehicle and stays with the vehicle during the whole charging process.
The robot, in the meantime, can move on to charge other electric vehicles. Once the charging service is complete, the robot collects the energy storage device and brings it back to the charging station.


The mobile charging robot can be put to use in various ways. It isn't just a robot arm that connects a car to a fixed charging station. Instead, drivers have the choice to park in any available space, independent of whether a charging station is free or not.
The robot brings the charging station in the form of a mobile energy storage device directly to the vehicle. For operators of different parking facilities, this is a quick and easy solution to electrify every parking space.
