With EVs charging their batteries faster and faster, retailers’ captive EV audience is vanishing. If they get EV charging wrong, they’ll lose everything – but getting it right means they’ll make tens of thousands. Even more, in fact, than they’re making with gas pumps.

But what does “getting it right” even mean?

Hands-free EV charging specialist Rocsys demonstrated its encouraging progress in enabling automated driving and charging in the commercial EV segment. As part of the MAGPIE initiative in Europe, Rocsys held a demonstration event in The Netherlands earlier today that showcased a fully electric autonomous truck navigating a port in Rotterdam before self-driving itself to a Rocsys robotic device, which began charging it automatically. You’re going to want to see the video below; it’s pretty awesome.

This white Hyundai IONIQ 5 is single-handedly rewriting the rules on EV longevity by driving over 360,000 miles on its original battery. What’s even wilder? The battery still had 87% battery health, despite the owner exclusively using DC fast charging to charge the car to 100%.

That was more than 50,000 miles ago, and the car is still going strong!

We EV enthusiasts have heard it all from the haters before. “What are you gonna do with all those batteries?” “There’s just not enough range,” and, of course, “Charging takes so much longer than a gas station visit.” As previously teased, Chinese auto conglomerate BYD has introduced a new 1,000-volt EV platform that can enable charging rates as fast (or perhaps faster) than a trip to the gas station. We’re talking five minutes.
