en.Wedoany.com Reported - Xiaomi is developing an automated robot charging system for its SU7 and YU7 models, and has unveiled a compact device that can be installed in a home garage. According to Car News China, the robot charging arm can automatically initiate charging, allowing owners to leave the vehicle without any operation after parking. Once charging is complete, the system unplugs and retracts on its own, and users can also start charging remotely via a smartphone.

In 2014, Tesla CEO Elon Musk proposed on Twitter the development of a robotic electric vehicle charging solution, similar to an automatically extending solid metal snake. In 2015, Tesla showcased a functional prototype of the project, but it was never brought to market, and Tesla also canceled its home wireless charging plans. Porsche recently introduced a wireless charging pad for the electric Cayenne, AITO demonstrated the M8 pure electric version using a robot arm for charging, and Li Auto is also developing robot charging arms for public charging networks.

Xiaomi's charging system has not yet announced pricing. The company's promotional video shows a product close to production-ready status, suggesting the technology could launch in China within the next few months. The system is only compatible with Xiaomi electric vehicles, and owners must park within the reach of the telescopic arm. Analysts believe that although this technology is very expensive and complex, it will become another unique selling point for advancing electric vehicles.
