This isn’t the first time we’re hearing about autonomous charging robots. VW actually unveiled their take on these droids roughly a year ago, with China’s AIWAYS also looking to develop its own car charging robot.
VW’s charging robot will be tasked with offering fully autonomous charging to EVs in restricted parking areas such as underground garages.
“A ubiquitous charging infrastructure is, and remains, a key factor in the success of electric mobility. Our charging robot is just one of several approaches, but is undoubtedly one of the most visionary,” VW Group Components CEO, Thomas Schmall, stated.
