Robotaxis have different charging needs than regular cars. Will they want Tesla's new promised wireless charging, or is battery swap made for them|
On October 10, Elon Musk stated that Tesla ’s new Robotaxi / Cybercab , if and when it goes into production, will recharge only with wireless charging. There won’t be a traditional charge port and they won’t be able to use Tesla ’s well-loved supercharger network, creating yet another new charging standard, just after Tesla ’s own “NACS” plug won the charge plug wars.
Wireless has never caught on because it’s pricey and not standard, and just provides a nice convenience for the driver. For a robocar, it’s more than convenience as the current alternative is a human plug jockey which is very expensive. Tesla claims their system will provide 25kW, which is quite a bit more than the 7kW ordinary cars use, but quite a bit less than the 250kW or more of fast charging.
