If you pay attention to the automotive industry, especially domestic new energy vehicles, you will not be unfamiliar with automatic mechanical charging piles. At many car launches, officials have released demos (demo videos). As of now, they are still only in the PPT stage, but there is one exception, and that is Hongmeng Zhixing.
In fact, Huawei did not make a big deal about this automatic charging robotic arm at the press conference. However, you can already see it in many Hongmeng Smart offline stores and experience it in practice.
When in use, the charging robot arm can detect the charging port and automatically align the insertion gun. It is speculated that cameras and millimeter-wave radar are used for precise positioning.
Why is Huawei launching this product? Based on the content previously exposed on the Internet, it can be seen that it is actually Huawei’s future plan for “unmanned driving + smart charging”.
As far as current energy replenishment is concerned, there are indeed many optimization areas. For example, the ultra-fast charging cable is too bulky and unfriendly to weak or female users. For example, in bad weather, the charging experience when getting out of the car is not good. With the automatic charging robot, the above pain points can be solved.
Combined with Huawei's active promotion of autonomous driving, it can be speculated that in its vision, future smart electric vehicles must allow people to get out of the car and the car to stop and recharge, so that recharging energy is no longer a burden.
