At present, electric vehicle charging is an urgent problem that needs to be solved. Although the number of charging piles is increasing day by day, it is still unable to meet the growing charging demand. In response to this phenomenon, Volkswagen released a concept drawing of a charging robot. This kind of robot can be equipped with a battery pack, shuttle through the parking lot, actively find electric vehicles that need charging and charge them.
According to the official introduction, the charging robot includes an autonomous driving part and a charging equipment. Each battery car has a built-in battery pack with a capacity of 25kWh. When charging the vehicle, the peak power can reach 50kW, and every time An autonomous driving robot can move multiple battery vehicles to meet the charging needs of more vehicles.
Mark Moller, development director of Volkswagen Group, said that the mobile charging robot is a new mobile robot concept product. No matter where the electric vehicle is parked, the robot can find the vehicle and charge it, allowing any electric vehicle to be charged. A parking space can be turned into a charging space. In addition, charging robots do not have complex infrastructure and the cost will be greatly reduced, which will satisfy a variety of charging scenarios.
It is worth noting that Tesla launched the "robotic arm charging robot" concept as early as 2015, but it has not implemented similar functions so far. So who do you think can achieve similar functions first?
