Ford has developed a prototype robot EV charging station that disabled drivers, people with reduced mobility and older people can operate using a smartphone inside their vehicle.
In the future, drivers of all types, from the totally fit to the disabled, will have to wrestle with vehicle charging. For the disabled, charging could prove challenging so Ford is looking to robotics to assist the disabled with their EV charging chores.
