Summary
Xiaomi has introduced a home robotic arm charger that autonomously plugs and unplugs electric vehicles (EVs). This device fulfills a concept initially prototyped by Tesla over a decade ago but never commercialized. The compact charger measures 152 mm in width, making it suitable for tight garage spaces, and is compatible with Xiaomi’s smart home ecosystem for smartphone control.
