These Chinese robots ride ceiling rails to charge your EV

China is deploying overhead rail-mounted charging robots in parking garages that automatically travel to your car and plug in — eliminating the need to hunt for a charging spot.

I like the basic idea, but the complexity of the robotic arm version is daunting and I don't like the side-track movement of the dangling cable version.

But if you have a simple single lane track, combined with manually inserted dangling cables ... there's the risk of blocking off the path to a car that needs a charger. Hmm...
