Latest update (11-09 01:55): BYD shows automatic charging robotic arm for flash-charging network in the UAE

Overview: BYD has demonstrated an automatic charging robotic arm for its flash-charging network in the United Arab Emirates, according to Chinese reports published November 9. The arm opens the charging-port cover, inserts the connector and closes the cover without the driver leaving the car. It uses visual recognition and force-feedback control and is compatible with several local connector specifications.

The reports say the demonstration reached 1,000 kilowatts of charging power, which BYD's second-generation Blade Battery can use for a five-minute top-up and a nine-minute full charge.
