Autonomous robot charger offers power to electric vehicles in remote areas

A new autonomous robot EV charger, called FlashBot, has been developed by ION Dynamics Energy Corporation. This mobile charger can deliver power to electric vehicles in locations without existing charging stations, addressing range anxiety for EV users. FlashBot operates through a smartphone app, allowing users to summon it to their parked vehicle. It can provide both fast and level two charging, making it a flexible solution for areas where permanent chargers are impractical or costly to install. The system can significantly reduce installation costs, with leasing options starting at $4,000 per month. FlashBot aims to improve access to charging as demand for electric vehicles continues to grow, amid concerns about the availability of public charging stations.
