Continental and VOLTERIO partner to develop automatic EV charging robot
Continental Engineering Services and VOLTERIO entered a partnership to develop an intelligent charging robot for electric vehicles.
Evidence notes
- The system uses a vehicle underbody unit and a garage-floor unit that connect automatically, even when the vehicle is parked up to 30 centimetres away from the ideal position.
- The companies planned near-production systems for 2022, with initial 22 kW home charging followed by higher-power public and fleet variants.
Company overview
VOLTERIO develops conductive underbody charging robots for electric vehicles and autonomous fleets. Its floor-mounted system automatically aligns and establishes a physical charging connection, while the company’s current Cyber Charging site positions the architecture for robotaxi operations.
