Imagine a robot that can recharge your electric vehicle wherever it is parked. You dreamed it, Volkswagen is making it happen. The brand has just presented prototypes of its mobile charging robot project, first announced in 2019.

The robot's mission is simple: to autonomously recharge electric vehicles in designated parking areas like underground car parks. The goal is for drivers to no longer be obliged to park near a specific charging station to power up their electric (or plug-in hybrid) cars.
