Inductive Robotics is transforming commercial EV charging with autonomous robots that deliver charging directly to parked vehicles. They empower fleet and parking operators to deploy EV charging without upfront costs and scale effortlessly with demand. Their solution tackles ambitious climate challenges by optimizing existing infrastructure to charge 4X more vehicles, avoiding costly upgrades. Madhav leads a team of experts with extensive tech and robotics experience aiming to drive sustainable urban mobility.

Smart Interface:
Our solution starts with the EV customer and their security and ease of use in mind. Our smart adapter, inserted and locked to the vehicle after parking, allows us to seamlessly connect and disconnect with any model EV.

Mobility:
Once we've received a charge request from our Smart Adapter, we dispatch one of our autonomous charging robots to the vehicle.

Charging:
As the robot arrives at the vehicle, it reaches out to connect with the Smart Adapter and begins the charging session. Upon completion, the robot disconnects from the vehicle and notifies the customer their car is charged.

Docking Station & Edge Storage:
Our docking station serves as a home base for our robots and buffer to the grid. When the robots aren't out charging vehicles, they are getting recharged at the docking station for the next customer.
