French company Mob-Energy, which specializes in recharging solutions for electric vehicles, presents Charles, a perfectly autonomous robot capable of recharging any car in a given space, such as a parking lot.

To launch Charles, Mob-Energy has teamed up with Mercedes-Benz France, which provides it with entire packs of second-life batteries which are integrated into the robot. These internal batteries allow it to store several doses of energy, enough to recharge up to three cars at each intervention.
