Recharge your electric car as a smartphone. According to Volkswagen the future will be possible without requiring even that they are linked by the users in a column. Science fiction? No, but almost. Will make everything a little robot to guide autonomous, able to replace, in the whole man, that the German manufacturer has already developed as a prototype and intends to soon make available in the market.
Composed of a tractor vehicle in which they are integrated cameras and sensors associated with the mini trailers that are home to a series of accumulators that can store up to 25kWh of energy, the small automaton uses a mechanical arm to attach the connector to the drive. Can perform more charging phases at the same time, shifting at various points in the modules and then bring them back once used on a special “docking station” where you make the full of electrons. The whole thing is controlled by a special app that the driver, once arrived in the filling station, uses to give way to the operations, leaving the car which is achieved by the unique mobile device using a communication protocol V2X.
“The robot will make a small revolution, will bring the electric charging in car parks multi-storey, in those underground and those in the open without requiring complex investments for the infrastructure, because it will be this to adapt to the car and not vice versa,” said Mark Möller, responsible for the development of the Volkswagen Group Components.
The filling station of the future, at least for the zero-emission cars, it seems, therefore, to the German House just a step from becoming a reality. This also counting on a transformation that was already in place since several companies have even already studied multimedia content to enable users to pass the time while waiting for their car battery is ready to go. In addition to the fact that, with all probability, the distributors are destined to become soon the hub ideal where to pick up items purchased on Amazon, delivered perhaps on the spot by a drone. Or the place in which to wait for the shopping ordered on-line or even a sort of single point of contact in an era of burgeoning sharing economy.
