An electrifying future
VOLTERIO’s mission is to accelerate the transition to sustainable mobility with a revolutionary, cost-effective, automatic robotic charging system.
Volterio’s ecosystem of AC/DC robots for home and public charging increases EV adoption, enables new revenue streams while providing a superior customer charging experience.
Volterio provides a fully automated AC/DC charging experience
How it works
The VOLTERIO Charging Robot operates through a two-unit system: a vehicle unit attached to the vehicle’s underbody and a ground unit (charging robot) situated in the designated charging area. It does not only enable fully automated AC charging but also allows public DC Supercharging with the PRO system for highest charging speeds.
Charging was never that simple – park and go
HASSLE-FREE CHARGING EXPERIENCE
Utilizing a precise low frequency positioning system, the vehicle is parked roughly above the ground unit for charging. Once the positioning is confirmed within the working area of the robot, the ground unit seamlessly connects to the vehicle via a high-quality conductive connection, initiating the charging process. Automated disconnection is facilitated either upon request or immediately after the completion of the charging process.
The best charging experience is to have no experience
AC/DC COMBINED
The Volterio system allows AC- or AC/DC combined charging trough a revolutionary 360° self-centering connector which is based on current charging standards. The Volterio connector works analogous to Typ2 / CCS Combo 2 or NACS and connects the same lines.
The new standard for automated EV charging
Ground Unit
- Positioned at the designated parking/charging area
- Highest charging capacity (AC or DC)
- Locates the vehicle’s connector and establishes a communication to the Vehicle Unit
- Guides the vehicle by indicating the position of the connectors (Ground Unit to Vehicle Unit)
- Establishes electrical contact as soon as the vehicle is positioned
- Electrical contacts are protected until contact is established
- Includes all the wallbox functionality incl. safety features
- Protected against dirt, moisture, corrosion
Vehicle Unit
- Flush mounted in the car’s underbody
- Lowest cost, small packaging size (minimal height & weight)
- Minimal complexity in the vehicle
- Simple homologation HV-safety due to multiple sealings
- Protective drawer to protect the connector whilst driving against dirt and moisture
- Protective cover closes securely/opens to make connector available for charging
- Communication by CAN bus to the vehicle, WLAN to the Ground Unit
- Signals the relative position of the Ground Unit to the car for the LF guidance system
- Retrofit possible with vehicle specific mounting
WHY VOLTERIO 
CHARGING ROBOT?
COMPARED to cable based
Compatibility
VOLTERIO is fully compatible with conventional charging equipment and uses the same communication standards for charging
Intuitive
Charging process including connecting to the vehicle can be started remotely (no risk to forget to connect the charging cable)
Premium experience
No visible charging station through the very flat design of ground unit (full Wallbox functionality is integrated in the ground unit)
Robustness
The robot can be driven over and the connector is protected at all times (less risk of vandalism)
Compared to wireless charging
- Cost: : Volterio charging robot is a fraction of the cost of wireless charging
- Power Level: 22 kW AC and up to 50 kW DC for home charging, >250 kW DC for public charging by the PRO system
- Efficient: Highest efficiency due to the conductive connection
- Size: Much smaller footprint for both units; minimal additional weight inside the vehicle
- Emission-free: Similar to cable-based charging
- Increased safety: No need for foreign object detection
- Easy integration: None Based on current charging standards; analogous to conductive charging via Typ2, CCS Combo 2 or NACS
Additional benefits
- Enables charging process for automated parking/driving functionality
- Easy control and supervision of the charging process via APP
- Retrofittable to almost all EVs
- Optimization of energy costs through the automated selection of charging time (considering intra-day electricity cost fluctuations and scheduled departure time)
- Simple system integration
