I'm not that optimistic about that. The problem with a charging robot is that it'd have to have a battery around the size of the largest EV battery to really be effective. A robot with a 100kwh battery will be the size of Optimus Prime. Then it needs to charge itself afterward. It really seems like a very inefficient idea but still I can see why it has some upsides.
