Xiaomi plans to launch a compact home charging robotic arm by late 2026, delivering the hands-free, high-efficiency plug-in experience for electric cars that Tesla famously abandoned a decade ago.
However, if you have a fleet of autonomous vehicles, once their charge runs low, they can go to an automated station. Say, in a basement parking lot. Get automatically plugged in, charge, unplug, then return into circulation.
Doing a NIO style automated battery swap would also work, but this is a more scalable solution for public parking lots, highrises, company lots, truck stops, dual-use gas stations, etc.
Having these at home makes no sense.
