Always one of the most cunning apologies for not getting an electric vehicle, is the precariousness of the recharge network of these but, every day they surprise us with new ideas to end the problem.

This time the innovation comes from Volkswagen, which has designed a robot capable of recharging our vehicle autonomously, turning any car park into a charging point.

The robot takes a battery to our vehicle, opens the charging point and connects our car to the battery; it then returns to his platform waiting for another vehicle to request recharging.

This whole process is managed through an application installed on our smartphone, which communicates with the robot and the rest of the environment.

Here you can find here a very cool video with an animation of the whole process.
