Linki is an autonomous charging bot system designed to deliver power to each parking spot so that every spot becomes a charging spot.

Trends

Rapid Growth in EV Ownership

The rapid growth in electric vehicle (EV) ownership marks a transformative shift in the automotive sector. As nations worldwide commit to electrification, governmental policies and market dynamics are crucial in accelerating this transition.

Technological Convergence

Technological convergence involves the fusion of diverse technologies into innovative systems that open up new realms of possibilities. As diverse technological systems and their applications increasingly intersect, they catalyze the creation of novel opportunities, driving smarter, more efficient solutions.

Problems

"ICED" EV Spots

You want to charge your car, but all the EV spots are occupied, either by other electric vehicles or by internal combustion engine cars.

Out of Order Chargers

Research from Harvard Business School indicates that one in five public chargers in the US is out of order, and they often remain not repaired for extended periods.

Idle Fees

If drivers don't move their cars promptly, idle fees begin accruing 5 to 10 minutes after charging is complete.

Time Wasted

Concerned about idle fees, drivers often wait by their cars with their phones, leading to unnecessary time spent waiting.
