The device named \u2018CARL\u2019, which moves around on wheels and has on-board charging capabilities helps to solve challenges around charging an electric vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Developed with 30kwh and 60kwh capacities, CARL can provide a fast charge to any EV with a recognized charging standard. Re-charging an EV battery to 80% in under 50 minutes, CARL offers a flexible and economical charging solution to private and corporate customers, as well as infrastructure developers and operators.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Having parked their vehicle in public, home or workplace car parks, EV owners can summon a CARL located nearby via a smartphone app and leave. The robot will then use GPS data to locate the vehicle within the area in which it operates, plug in and start charging it automatically. Once the charging process is complete, CARL will continue to the next user, or return to its base station.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">\u201cInstead of drivers trying to find a charger, the charger will find them,\u201d said Alex Klose, vice president for overseas operations at Aiways. \u201cWe want to make EV ownership as simple, easy and enjoyable as possible, and CARL provides a blueprint for how EVs can be charged in the future.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"posted-by\">By  <\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-box\">\n<section class=\"author-info\">\n<div class=\"auth-avatar\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"avatar avatar-150 photo no-display appear alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/www.electrichybridvehicletechnology.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/james-billington.jpg\" alt=\"mm\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/div>\n<div class=\"description\"><a title=\"Posts by James Billington\" href=\"https:\/\/www.electrichybridvehicletechnology.com\/author\/jamesbillington\" rel=\"author\">James Billington<\/a><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"section-head\"><span class=\"color\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Source:\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrichybridvehicletechnology.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.electrichybridvehicletechnology.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>FLEET MANAGEMENT NEWSLETTER<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/newsletter\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-4933 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Logo.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 3995px) 100vw, 3995px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Logo.jpg 3995w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Logo-300x66.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2020\/04\/Logo-1024x226.jpg 1024w\" alt=\"\" width=\"3995\" height=\"882\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Join to our NEWSLETTER; you\u2019ll get the latest news, articles, publications, training, conferences, events, congresses, and white papers related to Fleet Management, Mobility and Automotive IN your email fortnightly.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/advancedfleetmanagementconsulting.com\/eng\/newsletter\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>NEWSLETTER<\/strong><\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coming soon: A robot that charges your electric car In the near future, the chore of charging an electric vehicle could be carried out by an autonomous robot, which can be summoned when you need a top-up.
