Volkswagen is
teasing an autonomous robot that charges EVs in parking lots.
·
The
robot would tow batteries to individual vehicles and hook them up to begin
charging.
·
No
word on when this will become a reality, but it does solve the issue of adding
charging to a garage without placing individual charging stations at parking
stalls.
Robots typically fall into two
categories: a helpful friend like R2D2 or a killing machine like the T1000.
While Volkswagen begins its video of its mobile charging robot with the
percussion associated with the Terminator movies, it quickly pivots to R2D2-esque
noises as it teases its rather cute solution to charging EVs in parking lots
without installed charging stations.
This prototype for the mobile charging robot is one of the concepts the Volkswagen Group
is developing to help bring the charging infrastructure up to par with the
number of electric vehicles the automaker is hoping to sell over the
next few years.
