China pushes \'moving\' EV charging stations with overhead rail robots
China is accelerating innovation in EV charging infrastructure with ceiling-rail robots seen in underground parking garages in several cities. Users request charging via QR codes or WeChat mini programs, and a robot moves above the vehicle to connect automatically, making each parking space a potential charging point. EV outlet Electrek said the approach is cost-efficient because one rail network can cover multiple bays. Several companies are developing similar systems, though they rely on Level 2 AC charging.
