Moscow Tests Mobile Robot to Charge Parked Electric Cars at 60 kW

Moscow has begun testing a mobile robot designed to charge electric vehicles where they are parked, in a move aimed at making charging more convenient.

The robot can travel independently to an electric car and supply power at a charging capacity of 60 kilowatts.

Its mobile design brings the charger to the vehicle, rather than requiring the driver to move the car to a fixed charging point.

The trial is testing an approach that could make charging easier to access in parking areas. Details of the test locations, its duration and any plans for wider deployment were not provided.
