No need to look for charging stations to charge, AIWAYS releases new mobile charging patent, which can charge up to 60 degrees of electricity

Previously, Volkswagen released a new concept of charging robots. Recently, Mr. Bang learned from Volkswagen officials that Volkswagen Group Components and start-up Shanghai Dupu New Energy Technology Co., Ltd. (du-power) plan to work together to produce flexible fast charging stations in China. Mass production is scheduled to start in the second half of 2020.

The biggest features of this type of "charging station" are "flexibility" and "energy storage". It has a compact structure and is not restricted by the installation environment. The installation location can be changed according to user needs. The built-in battery pack can also store energy. When a certain capacity is reached, it can be disconnected from the power grid to reduce the pressure of power consumption during peak hours. In short, there are quite a few advantages that make everyone look forward to it.

In fact, Volkswagen is not the only company investing in this field. Ford and other companies are also stepping up their efforts to break through this technology. However, there has been no news of major progress.

In China, Aiways is at the forefront in this field.

Recently, AIWAYS announced a patent for a mobile charging robot. It is reported that the mobile charging robot named CARL can automatically find electric vehicles and charge them.

About CARL:

1. CARL looks like a vacuum cleaner. After the user places an order through the app, CARL will move to the location of the car through GPS and automatically charge it.

2. Two battery capacity versions are available: 30kwh and 60kwh, and are compatible with all current charging standards.

3. Taking a new energy vehicle with a battery capacity of about 60Wh as an example, CARL can complete 80% charging within 45 minutes.

Aiways said that CARL itself and the charging method it uses have passed European and Chinese audits, but did not disclose when we can see it in daily life.

According to Mr. Bang, AIWAYS has announced that it will build new energy charging stations this year to improve the convenience of charging service experience. Specifically, AIWAYS will first focus on the construction of AIWAYS sales and service outlets. It is expected that by the end of 2020, AIWAYS's service outlets will be expanded to about 300, and the number of self-built charging piles will exceed 1,000. These charging piles are not only provided for AIWAYS users to use, but also open and shared with all electric vehicle users who need to charge. From this information, it is expected that AIWAYS CARL will be seen in this batch of charging stations.

The transformation of robot technology is one of the most talked-about topics in recent years. The realization of charging robots means that "charging piles" can arrive at designated locations at any time according to user needs, greatly improving usage efficiency and solving the problem of current charging positions being occupied by fuel vehicles.

Although no company has yet achieved mass production of charging robots, it has at least provided a new solution that can provide a certain reference value for future electric vehicle charging services, relying on automation technology to change "car looking for charging piles" to "charging piles looking for cars." However, it is completely different from Weilai's "nanny car" development idea.

At present, the development of electric vehicles still faces many problems such as high battery costs and difficulty in charging. However, looking back at the development of electric vehicles in recent years, in just a few years, remarkable achievements have been made in the fields of driving range, intelligence, and electronic control. I believe that with the support of national policies and the investment of major companies in the field of research and development, all problems will be solved one by one.

So, let’s look forward to the charging robot and see if we can use it this year.
