Does the Amazon drone charging idea bring evangelization to electric cars?

Assuming that your electric car is halfway up and out of power, it is still in an awkward situation of “not standing in front of the village and not going to shop afterwards.” It is estimated that you will regret your intestines and open up a “trouble” out.

At this time, if there is a drone, like "telesthetic", landing on the top of your car, humming electricity to save you in urgent need, perhaps next time you will be happy to drive your small electric car around stroll.

That's right. This is the tech giant Amazon that has always had a brain hole. Imagine the business scenario of drones aiming at electric vehicles. At the beginning of the month, they just obtained a patent. In short, they used drones to charge electric vehicles.

It is also very simple to use. For example, if you feel that the car has low battery power, you need to send a request for recharging through the network. Then the server will respond. The unmanned aerial vehicle carrying the energy you need will be ready to go. Without human intervention, the drone will plan its own route and fly to the designated location. The "joint" with your car. Then, it will automatically connect to the car's top port, and charging starts. Even if the car is still in progress, charging will continue as usual.

Of course, being able to dock the car on their own means that Amazon’s new drones are equipped with capabilities such as recognizing correspondingly-charged electric vehicles and combining multiple technologies such as image recognition for multiple authentication. In addition, regarding the UAV's energy source, according to the Amazon patent, it can use one or more electronic, chemical or mechanical devices to provide energy. The energy source can be one or more batteries. The battery is disposable or charged. The technology can also be used with energy supply methods such as fuel supply.

In fact, Amazon's new drone patents look really good. After all, the limited mileage of electric vehicles is a “stumbling block” for many people when they step into the door of new energy vehicles. It is estimated that there may be a “halfway stop” experience, and it is estimated that electric vehicles will have to “make way” from mandatory options. However, after all, electric-powered cars will be the future trend. Either China or Europe and the United States are promoting electric vehicle development plans. For example, last year the German government discussed the elimination of all fuel vehicles by 2030.

Therefore, we have seen Tesla starting to lay out its super-charging network in 2012. Not long ago, Tesla Guan Bo also stated that by the end of this year, the number of Tesla's global charging piles will have doubled. More than 10,000; There are also various wireless charging solutions, such as BMW's matching wireless charging function for its 2018 BMW 530e plug-in hybrid car, using BMW's own wireless charging sensor board, plus a 220V power outlet To charge the car, choose to install on the ground or buried in the ground.

In contrast, Amazon's concept of drone charging is more in line with the transition from fuel to electricity to the automotive era, and at the same time, if battery technology has not yet been broken, it may be more like a complementary solution.

The average drone life is short and the carrying capacity is limited. For the problem of battery life, the patents that had previously been envisioned by Amazon for charging using street lights, telephone booths, signal towers, etc., may alleviate this problem. This may make the overall urban charging drone deployment more flexible. In addition, Amazon disclosed its nine-storyhive patent in June, which is designed to store drones in urban areas, or to store refueling drones. It also provides ideas for deploying a large number of beehives to meet a large number of cities. The demand for electric vehicles is running.

With regard to weight bearing, Amazon currently charges drones without further information disclosure. If the previous Amazon delivery drone is used as a reference, it can transport cargo with a load of less than 2.5kg. This means that the loadable battery has a limited weight and can contribute to the power of the electric vehicle, which is probably the same as the capacity of the car battery. A cup of water.

If so, the scene of charging with an Amazon drone will be limited to the last few kilometers from the charging pile, and a solution such as a charging pile is the protagonist. I am afraid that as a transitional product, Amazon eventually made a lot of gifts to vendors such as Tesla.

What if the battery technology problem is overcome? This is estimated to be the moment for Amazon's drone charging to revolutionize the existing electric car charging industry. In the past, charging stations and charging stations that were built extensively may have become simpler and smaller in size, and Amazon will be able to benefit from Tesla’s mutual benefits.

Will future charging drones surprise us? This is worth looking forward to.
