All EV drivers really want is faster charging, but for now they’re getting creepy and/or complex robo-charging snakes and arms instead. Robotic charging might ultimately make topping off an EV battery easier, but it would be nice if it didn’t terrify children in the back seat in the process. Continental’s low-profile system looks to be the ticket, dropping the large robotic appendages in favor of a simple floor plate that makes a physical connection with the vehicle. It looks like a wireless charging system, but eliminates the energy losses that come with induction.
