Opinion: How co-ordinated multi-robot systems are transforming EV battery swapping

March 27, 2025 by David Edwards

As electric vehicles transform our transportation landscape, the demand for innovative charging solutions grows. Battery swapping – where depleted batteries are quickly replaced with fully charged ones – offers a compelling alternative to traditional charging.

Yet, this seemingly straightforward concept requires sophisticated engineering behind the scenes. The complexity extends beyond what single-robot automation can effectively handle, pushing the industry toward coordinated multi-robot systems that work in concert to achieve what individual robots cannot.

Single robots have revolutionized many industries but face significant limitations with multi-stage operations. [Read more…] about Opinion: How co-ordinated multi-robot systems are transforming EV battery swapping

Electric Vehicles are Part of the Future of Frugal Living

February 14, 2025 by Mark Allinson

Electric cars are no longer a dream of the future; they are now the hype on the roads. With growing concerns over climate change and air quality, EVs promise a sustainable replacement for traditional gasoline-run automobiles.

In direct support of the values of frugal living, the move to electric mobility means minimum waste, expense, and living within one’s available resources. By embracing electric vehicles, we can significantly reduce our transportation costs, aligning with the core principles of frugal living.

Furthermore, utilizing other tools like budgeting apps and ride-sharing services can further enhance our financial well-being and help us live more economically. [Read more…] about Electric Vehicles are Part of the Future of Frugal Living

ROCIN-ECO consortium takes ‘major step’ towards hands-free EV charging

July 15, 2024 by David Edwards

Rocsys, a provider of hands-free charging solutions, together with partners Ionity, Audi, TÜV SÜD and affiliated partners Porsche, BMW, Ford, Marquardt, AVL, and Huber+Suhner, as part of the ROCIN-ECO consortium, has developed and demonstrated what they say is “the first interoperable automatic conductive charging solution for passenger electric vehicles”.

The solution both uses and contributes to international standards (ISO and IEC) for automatic charging.

The partners worked together to create an ecosystem where any car can charge automatically regardless of brand or type, and which Rocsys will adopt in early 2025. [Read more…] about ROCIN-ECO consortium takes ‘major step’ towards hands-free EV charging

Electric Future: Stalled car revolution

January 30, 2023 by Mark Allinson

How green are electric vehicles?

Believe it or not, if you had been walking through Manhattan in 1900, there is a good chance you would have seen an electric car. Roughly one third of cars on the road in New York back then were electric, while the city’s taxi fleet had 30 electric vehicles (EVs). It was to be a brief heyday.

It was Henry Ford’s Model T – first produced in 1908 – that signalled the beginning of the end of the electric car. Suddenly, petrol-fuelled cars were relatively affordable and, thanks to Ford’s pioneering use of the production line, ubiquitous.

Improved roads and cheaper petrol prices saw the electric car all but disappear by the mid-1930s, and it wasn’t until the 1970s – amid soaring oil prices and gasoline prices – that the potential of EVs began to be seriously considered again.

Why the Automotive Future is Electric

November 23, 2022 by Mark Allinson

With the global automotive market shifting towards electrification at an unprecedented rate, electric cars or EVs are slated to become the next generation of personal transportation.

By 2040, an estimated 40 million units of EVs are expected to hit the roads, essentially replacing the IC engine. Several manufacturers have already shifted their focus on EV platforms and the latest entry into the segment is the Mazda MX-30, the company’s first all-electric offering.

Taking the MX-30 as an example, we can see how far the EV industry has come over the years. Mixing style and practicality with its rear-hinged doors, the 2022 MX-30 is as good as a modern EV can get. [Read more…] about Why the Automotive Future is Electric
