Disabled drivers have already identified ease of charging as a key purchase consideration for electric vehicles.

COLOGNE: For most of us, filling a car with fuel, or charging an electric vehicle is a simple task. But for disabled drivers, people with reduced mobility and older people it can be a significant challenge.

Following initial lab testing, Ford researchers are now putting the robot charging station to the test in real-life situations. Looking ahead, the process could become fully automated, with minimal or no driver involvement. The driver would simply send the vehicle to the charging station, with the infrastructure ensuring it reaches and returns from its destination autonomously.
