Mole offers an autonomous, hands‑free EV charging system for commercial fleets. A ground‑mounted unit with a robotic arm and reversible inlet adapter docks to a vehicle’s existing OEM charging port after a simple four‑step installation, eliminating cables, manual plugging, and trip hazards while allowing charging anywhere the unit is placed. The modular design scales power capacity as fleets grow, saving labor time and freeing up parking space.

Problem
Fleet operators and commercial vehicle users must manually plug and unplug EVs for charging, which consumes time, creates trip hazards, and requires dedicated charging infrastructure that is often inflexible and location‑specific.
Solution
Mole provides an autonomous, hands‑free charging system that eliminates the need for cables and manual connection. A ground‑mounted unit equipped with a robotic arm and an inlet adapter connects to a vehicle’s existing OEM charging port after a simple changeover switch installation. The robot docks, charges, and undocks without human intervention, allowing vehicles to be charged wherever the ground unit is installed—indoors, outdoors, underground, or on the street. The system is modular, so power capacity can be upgraded as fleet size grows, supporting the transition to electric mobility while reducing labor, improving safety, and freeing up parking space.
Target Audience
Primary customers are commercial fleet operators, local authorities, and OEMs seeking to automate EV charging for vans, trucks, and other fleet vehicles.
