The robot EV charger reduces the need for extensive infrastructure, providing convenient and eco-friendly charging using 100% renewable energy. Kelle Energy hopes this will encourage faster adoption of EVs, contributing to sustainable living. From January to May 2024, EVs accounted for 30% of new car sales in Singapore, with 7,100 chargers installed.
Kelle Energy's innovation bypasses traditional charging stations, offering safe, high-speed charging directly to vehicles. Unlike conventional systems, which rely on the power grid and slower AC charging, their DC60 charger offers rapid charging, improving efficiency and convenience. Intelligent charging control allows drivers to manage charging via an app. They simply park, input their location, and the robot connects to their car for charging. Once done, the robot moves on or returns to its docking station.
The robots use intelligent energy storage, integrating renewable sources like solar, reducing strain on the grid. They can be deployed in areas without traditional power grids, offering flexibility for carpark owners and scalability for the future.
CEO Jason Koh highlights the technology’s potential for Southeast Asia. Kelle Energy aims to deploy 1,000 units in Malaysia by 2025 and 2,800 by 2028, saving 168MWh of power. Plans for Singapore include 300 robots, reducing the need for additional charging points and easing grid pressure during peak periods.
