Ford recently revealed a very special project it is working on: a charging station that plugs itself into the vehicle to make life far easier for EV owners with physical disabilities.
A prototype robot charging station has been developed by Ford that drivers control from inside their electric car using their smartphone. The technology might allow disabled people to stay in their vehicles while they charge, or they can get out of the car and let the robot take care of everything while they shop, eat, or use the restroom.
The process may be fully automated in the future, with little or no driver involvement. The driver would simply send the car to the charging station, with the infrastructure itself ensuring that it gets the right charge and reaches its destination on time. Eventually, these robot charging stations may be put in disabled parking spaces, car parks, or even at private homes. Fast and efficient charging of corporate fleets may also be a great use for the technology.
This is only the start. A follow-up project with IONITY will look to improve the robot charging technology even further. In addition, Ford is exploring robot charging technologies in tandem with Automated Valet Parking, as seen at IAA in Munich, Germany last year. This would enable customers to drop off their car at a parking facility, and have it automatically find and charge itself while the customer is away.
