Fuel Doctor Inc. announced that its wholly owned subsidiary, Charging Robotics Ltd. is currently piloting its unique wireless charging solution to meet the growing demand for electric vehicle (EV) charging in automated parking systems. In August 2023, the company announced it started a pilot project with an automatic car park provider in Israel to evaluate Charging Robotics' wireless charging system for electric vehicles. For that purpose, in November 2023, the company secured funding from the Israel Innovation Authority to fund the pilot project. The total approved budget for this project is approximately NIS 1.2 million (approximately USD 445,000), of which the Israel Innovation Authority will finance 50%.

The wireless charging system is set to answer the unmet need of charging EVs in automatic car parks. Automatic car parks are gaining popularity as they offer an ultra-efficient solution to park cars, while also reducing expensive real estate costs. However, since these are automated facilities, currently there is no way for the driver to connect a charging cable to the vehicle.

This is a major concern and a market inhibit for automated parking manufacturers and EV manufacturers, particularly in areas where electric vehicles are growing rapidly- this is the con Charging Robotics aiming to address. Besides enabling EV charging in automatic car parks, the wireless charging system has numerous advantages, including: Seamless Integration: the wireless charging system will be seamlessly integrated into the automatic car park infrastructure, requiring minimal modifications to the existing layout. This ensures a minimum installation process while maximizing parking capacity.

Convenient Charging Experience: drivers will start the system using a dedicated smart phone application, which will also notify the driver about the charging process. Scalability and Adaptability: the system's modular design enables easy scalability, allowing the parking lot operator to increase the number of chargers in the facility based on the number of electric vehicles. The system will be able to charge all electric vehicles at efficiencies of >93% which is outstanding for wireless charging systems.
