This design bypasses the complexity and reliability issues that can plague fully robotic solutions attempting to connect directly with each vehicle\u2019s unique port geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">\u201cIt&#8217;s simple but powerful,\u201d said Ian Todd, Executive VP of Automated Parking at Westfalia. \u201cWe connect a car and charge it. Once finished, we move it to another spot in the facility whilst the overhead gantry moves to the next EV to be charged. [\u2026] This intelligent choreography enables fewer charging points, and a single gantry to service significantly more vehicles, dramatically improving efficiency while reducing infrastructure costs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">Designed for use in a wide range of environments, including fleet depots, car dealerships, automated parking garages, airports, and corporate campuses, the Weplug system operates on a single-point utility connection, significantly reducing the electrical and construction footprint compared to conventional ground-based charging layouts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"ad-space\" >\n      <div class=\"ad-space-block\">\n      <div class=\"adspace not-mobile rectangle-4\" id=\"article-content-1\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"adspace not-desktop topmobile-2\" id=\"article-content-1-mobile\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">According to Westfalia, the system can charge most EVs to 80% in under an hour and is well suited to both new developments and retrofitted installations, provided there is adequate overhead clearance. The system is particularly effective when combined with Westfalia\u2019s own automated parking systems, allowing vehicles to be dynamically repositioned before and after charging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \">\u201cWhat makes combining Weplug with our automated parking systems especially impactful is how we can orchestrate the movement of EVs across an entire system for charging,\u201d added Todd.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph \"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20250514658191\/en\/Westfalia-Technologies-Inc.-Revolutionizes-EV-Charging-with-Launch-of-WEPLUG-Automated-Charging-System\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">businesswire.com <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La clave de la flexibilidad de Weplug reside en su p\u00f3rtico a\u00e9reo, que utiliza un brazo rob\u00f3tico guiado por visi\u00f3n para bajar de forma aut\u00f3noma el conector de carga a un adaptador colocado previamente<\/p>","protected":false},"author":29,"featured_media":272717,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9933],"tags":[10174,7548,12102,609,31450,31449],"class_list":["post-272716","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-infrastructure","tag-charging-stations","tag-dc","tag-north-america","tag-usa","tag-weplug","tag-westfalia-technologies"],"acf":{"post_article-format":{"value":"standard","label":"Standard"},"post_categories":[9933],"post_tags":[31449,31450,10174,7548,609,12102],"post_thumbnail":272717,"post_thumbnail_listing":false,"post_thumbnail-caption":"","post_teaser-text":"Weplug, a new automated overhead charging system from Westfalia Technologies, aims to reduce charging infrastructure costs and complexity.
