Overview
- Rocsys, which announced the M1 and a $13 million Series A extension Wednesday, said pilots are under way and total funding now stands at $56 million.
- The M1 is an overhead rail system with a long-reach robotic arm that plugs and unplugs vehicles across up to 10 parking bays without human help, preserving floor space for cleaning and inspections.
- The company plans large-scale deployment starting in 2027 across North America and Europe, with a goal of supporting thousands of charging bays.
- Rocsys says the system works across different EV models, charger brands, and connector types and claims a 99.9% plug-in success rate based on live use.
- The firm cites a signed but unnamed robotaxi customer as early validation as operators look to remove manual plug-ins that slow high-volume depot charging.
