Miniature Pod-Like Electric Chargers

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The AUTEV is a Portable Robot that Charges Vehicles

— May 18, 2023 — Autos
AUTEV is a new electric charging solution that is designed to move around as an autonomous robot and reaches electric vehicles, rather than the other way around. It is a small device that looks similar to a pod and rests on a foundation of four wheels, which allows it to move freely around a parking lot. Users simply need to plug its charging outlet into their EVs and go about their day. The goal is to make fleets of the AUTEC available to garage operators to reach a commercial use by early 2024.

Founder and CEO of AUTEV Osama AlSalloum note that “Our market research has shown that there is a huge gap in the market between the increase of EVs on the streets and how EV charging infrastructure is growing. Building new public charging stations or dedicated EV charging parking spaces in areas of shared parking presents logistical challenges,”
Co-Founder and COO of AUTEX Syd Manna continues, “We have developed an autonomous charging robot that can provide on-demand charging wherever it is needed. Our technology reduces the need for a fixed charging infrastructure and makes EV charging more convenient for EV owners.”
