Kelle Energy, a trailblazer in clean energy solutions, has announced the launch of its innovative Robot EV Charger in Singapore, set to redefine the landscape of electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure.
With Singapore’s ambitious target to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050 and the growing push for electric vehicles (EVs) to replace internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, Kelle Energy’s cutting-edge technology promises to address key challenges in the EV adoption journey.
The Robot EV Charger is poised to address the need for more EV charging points in Singapore, significantly reduce infrastructure costs, alleviate congestion in carparks, and provide an eco-friendly charging experience—all while being powered by 100% renewable energy sources.
Singapore’s EV Push: A Green Road Ahead
Singapore’s Green Plan 2030 is an ambitious national initiative that aims to accelerate the adoption of EVs, reduce the carbon footprint of the transportation sector, and position the city-state as a global leader in sustainability.
As part of this plan, the Singapore government has set a target to deploy over 60,000 EV charging points across the island by 2030, alongside a broader strategy to reduce the number of petrol and diesel vehicles on the road.
However, the rapid shift to electric mobility presents significant challenges. One of the primary hurdles is the expansion of EV charging infrastructure. Traditional charging stations require substantial investments in real estate, power supply infrastructure, and dedicated parking spaces for each charger.
This can be particularly challenging in space-constrained urban environments like Singapore, where parking is already a limited commodity.
This is where Kelle Energy’s Robot EV Charger offers a revolutionary solution. By bypassing the need for fixed charging stations, Kelle’s robots can provide high-speed charging on demand, directly at the parking spaces without the need for dedicated charging infrastructure.
The World’s First Robot EV Charger: Innovation Meets Convenience
The Robot EV Charger represents a world-first in EV charging technology. Unlike traditional charging stations, which require parking lots to be equipped with fixed charging points, Kelle Energy’s robot chargers are autonomous units that can navigate carparks and locate vehicles in need of charging.
Here’s how it works:
- Driver Convenience: Drivers simply park their EVs at any available parking spot in the carpark and activate the robot charger via a mobile app.
- Automated Charging: The robot then autonomously navigates to the car, positions itself, and connects the high-power charger to the vehicle’s charging port.
- Smart Charging: The robot begins charging the car with Kelle Energy’s DC60 high-speed direct current (DC) technology, delivering charging speeds up to 100kW. Once charging is complete, the robot moves on to the next car or returns to its docking station for recharging.
This innovation not only increases convenience for drivers by allowing them to park in any spot but also saves valuable parking space, making it ideal for high-density urban areas like Singapore.
Fast Charging, Efficient Energy Use: DC60 Technology
At the heart of the Robot EV Charger is Kelle Energy’s DC60 rapid charging technology, capable of delivering high-speed charging (50-100kW) that significantly reduces waiting times compared to traditional AC chargers. AC chargers typically provide between 2-22kW of power, resulting in longer charging periods for EVs.
By utilising Direct Current (DC) instead of Alternating Current (AC), Kelle Energy’s solution can charge EV batteries at a much higher rate, providing a quicker and more efficient experience for users.
This is crucial for encouraging more drivers to make the switch to EVs, as one of the main barriers to adoption is the time it takes to charge a vehicle.
Additionally, the intelligent charging management system ensures that each vehicle receives the optimal charge it needs, and the robot can manage multiple vehicles in sequence, maximizing efficiency in busy carparks.
Sustainable and Off-Grid Charging: Reducing Grid Strain
A key feature of Kelle Energy’s robot chargers is their ability to operate off the grid, using Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) to store and manage energy from renewable sources like solar power.
This enables the chargers to operate without placing additional strain on the local power grid—especially important during peak demand hours.
In Singapore, where the national grid is already under pressure due to increasing demand for electricity, Kelle Energy’s off-grid solution provides a sustainable alternative to traditional charging infrastructure.
By tapping into clean, renewable energy sources, Kelle Energy reduces the carbon footprint of each EV charging session and supports Singapore’s goal of a greener, more sustainable transportation ecosystem.
The BESS systems integrated into the chargers also provide energy storage capabilities, allowing for efficient energy use and ensuring that the robot chargers are always ready to deliver power when needed.
This solution is particularly useful in locations where access to a stable power supply is limited, or where carparks are not connected to the grid.
The Future of EV Infrastructure in Singapore
Kelle Energy’s innovative approach to EV charging is poised to address some of the biggest challenges facing Singapore as it transitions to an electric future.
By eliminating the need for fixed charging points and providing flexible, scalable charging solutions, the Robot EV Charger offers a cost-effective and sustainable alternative to traditional infrastructure.
As Singapore works towards its target of 60,000 EV charging points by 2030, Kelle Energy plans to deploy its robot chargers in multiple carparks across the city, helping to meet the growing demand for EV charging.
The company’s goal is to deploy 300 robot chargers in Singapore by 2028, helping to alleviate congestion in carparks and reduce the need for new, expensive charging infrastructure.
Kelle Energy’s robot chargers are expected to play a pivotal role in the city-state’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and accelerate the transition to electric vehicles. As more and more Singaporeans make the switch to EVs, Kelle Energy’s technology will be crucial in supporting this shift—ensuring that EVs are as convenient and accessible as possible for all drivers.
A Cleaner, Greener Future for Singapore
Kelle Energy’s Robot EV Charger is a perfect fit for Singapore’s ambitious green goals. With its focus on flexibility, efficiency, and sustainability, this innovative solution promises to make EV charging more convenient, affordable, and eco-friendly for all.
By enabling high-speed, off-grid charging powered by 100% renewable energy, Kelle Energy is taking a bold step towards a greener future for Singapore’s transportation system.
As the company continues to deploy its robot chargers and expand its footprint across Southeast Asia, Kelle Energy is poised to become a key player in the global EV infrastructure revolution, bringing us one step closer to a sustainable, electric future.
