Charging Stations No Longer Require "Cars to Seek Out Chargers": Door Energy Launches a New Product-A "Smart Charging Robot" That Drives Itself to the Vehicle

2026-03-17

I. Introduction: When "Cars Seeking Chargers" Becomes an Efficiency Bottleneck

Over the past decade, the global electric vehicle (EV) market has entered a phase of explosive growth. According to the Global EV Outlook report published by the International Energy Agency (IEA), the global EV stock surpassed 40 million units in 2023 and is projected to exceed 200 million units by 2030. Concurrently, the development of charging infrastructure faces significant pressure.

Metric 2020 2023 2030 Forecast
Global EV Stock 10 million 40 million+ 200 million+
Global Public Chargers 1.3 million 3.8 million+ 15 million+
EV-to-Charger Ratio 8:1 11:1 13:1


Data Source: IEA Global EV Outlook


As the data indicates, the growth rate of charging infrastructure continues to lag behind the growth rate of electric vehicles. In settings such as parking lots, industrial parks, and logistics hubs, the traditional charging model still suffers from a fundamental issue: > The vehicle must be driven directly to the charging station.


However, in many real-world scenarios, this model proves inefficient. For instance:

* Parking lots are often congested, making the search for an available charging spot time-consuming.

* Industrial equipment cannot be easily relocated.

* Emergency and rescue vehicles require on-site power replenishment.

* Large vehicle fleets often operate on irregular or unpredictable schedules.


Consequently, a new concept has begun to emerge within the industry: > Mobile EV Charging-bringing the power to the vehicle, rather than requiring the vehicle to move to the power source.


In alignment with this trend, Door Energy has unveiled a brand-new solution: a smart charging robot system capable of autonomously navigating to the vehicle's location.

Data Source: Statistics from European Roadside Assistance Associations


As is evident, battery depletion is one of the most common reasons for requiring roadside assistance. However, the traditional resolution process typically involves:

1. Calling a tow truck.

2. Towing the vehicle to a charging station.

3. Waiting in line to charge.


This entire process can take 1-3 hours-or even longer.


Mobile EV Charging fundamentally alters this paradigm:

Traditional Model Mobile EV Charging Model
Vehicle Moves Power Moves
Tow Truck Required On-site Charging
Waiting in Line Instant Charging
Long Downtime Rapid Return to Service


Consequently, an increasing number of fleet managers and public service organizations are beginning to focus their attention on mobile charging technology.


  • Door Energy Solution: The Intelligent Mobile Charging Robot

To meet these evolving industry demands, Door Energy has introduced a new generation of Mobile EV Charger systems. This device not only delivers high-power charging capabilities but is also capable of autonomously navigating to a specific vehicle's location to complete the charging task within designated environments.


Compared to traditional charging infrastructure, this design offers distinct advantages in terms of efficiency.


Key Technical Capabilities

Technical Specification Parameter
Max Charging Power 420 kW DC Fast Charging
Charging Standard CCS1 / CCS2
Communication Protocol OCPP
Typical Charging Time Approx. 1 hour
Autonomous Navigation Supports Navigation to Fixed Parking Spots
Modular Maintenance Supports Rapid Module Replacement


Notably, the 420 kW DC fast-charging capability enables rapid power replenishment for the vast majority of electric vehicles currently on the road. Furthermore, the device supports the OCPP communication protocol, allowing it to seamlessly integrate with various charging management platforms to enable:

* Remote monitoring

* Fleet management

* Charging data analytics

* Operations and maintenance optimization


These capabilities are particularly crucial for large-scale fleets and public charging networks.


  • How Smart Charging Robots Work

Door Energy’s mobile charging robots are primarily deployed in environments featuring designated parking spaces—such as parking lots, fleet depots, and logistics centers.


The entire charging process typically unfolds as follows:

Step 1: Charging Request

When a vehicle requires charging, a request is submitted via a management platform or dispatch system.


Step 2: System Localization

The robot pinpoints the vehicle's exact location using a parking map and its onboard sensor system.


Step 3: Autonomous Navigation

The device autonomously navigates to the vicinity of the target vehicle.


Step 4: Initiate Charging

Either a human operator manually plugs in the charging gun, or an automated robotic arm establishes the connection, thereby initiating the Mobile EV Charging session.


Step 5: Mission Complete

Once charging is finished, the robot returns to its designated standby position.


Efficiency Comparison: Automated vs. Traditional Charging

Metric Traditional Charging Charging Robot
Time to Find a Spot 10-20 minutes 0 minutes
Waiting/Queue Time 10-30 minutes Negligible
Manual Dispatching High Low
Operational Efficiency Moderate High


Consequently, this operational model can significantly reduce operating costs.


  • Roadside Assistance: A Core Application for Mobile EV Charging

Amidst the widespread adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), the roadside assistance industry is undergoing a profound transformation.


Traditional roadside assistance for internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles typically involves:

* Towing

* Battery replacement

* Minor repairs


In contrast, roadside assistance for EVs relies heavily on mobile charging capabilities.


Door Energy’s mobile charging equipment offers distinct advantages in this specific sector. ### Roadside Assistance Charging Capabilities

Typical Charging Time 20-60 minutes


Compared to traditional towing methods, this approach offers the following advantages:

* Eliminates towing fees

* Reduces traffic congestion

* Rapidly restores vehicle drivability


For highway roadside assistance fleets, this translates to significantly higher operational efficiency.


  • Power Supply for Industrial and Engineering Equipment: Another Major Application of Mobile EV Charging

Beyond charging electric vehicles, the Door Energy system can also function as a mobile power station.


On construction sites or during engineering projects, many types of equipment require temporary power supply.


Examples include:

* Electric excavators

* Industrial water pumps

* Construction lighting


Door Energy units are equipped with AC power supply capabilities.


Industrial Power Supply Capabilities

Equipment Type Power Requirement Support Status
Electric Excavators 20-150 kW Supported
Industrial Pumps 5-50 kW Supported
