Rocsys launches integrated platform for hands-free EV charging

Hands-free charging specialist Rocsys has launched the Rocsys Platform, an integrated solution that combines hardware, intelligent software and support to “simplify and scale hands-free charging for autonomous mobility”.

The platform consists of the Rocsys Steward automatic connection device; Rocsys Portal and Rocsys API for operational integration support; and the Rocsys Proactive Care 24/7 support service.

Rocsys announces platform to enable autonomous charging.

The future of transportation is electric and autonomous

Rocsys works with customers in the robotaxi, logistics and ports sectors, including operators, autonomous vehicle solution providers and vehicle OEMs. With the port automation market projected to exceed US$15.5bn by 2032 and robotaxi use growing, with companies like Waymo operating over 200,000 rides a week, demand for automated solutions continues to increase but charging is still primarily manual and this can present problems.

As vehicles move toward full autonomy, many charging systems are built assuming a human operator will always be present. Manual charging is time-consuming and often incompatible with the scalability that autonomous fleets demand. It “negates the benefits of otherwise autonomous systems by introducing a human bottleneck”, Rocsys says. Its integrated platform has been designed to address these issues, delivering hands-free charging for autonomous operations and seamless integration with existing vehicles and infrastructure.

Four key components to autonomous charging

The Rocsys Platform includes four key components. The Rocsys Steward is an advanced automatic connection device powered by computer vision and machine learning that autonomously detects a vehicle upon arrival, opens the charging port, plugs in safely, charges and unplugs, without human intervention. This is paired with the Rocsys Portal, an operational dashboard that provides real-time, data-driven insights into charging activities, and the Rocsys API, which enables integration with IT systems such as terminal operating systems (TOS) and fleet management systems (FMS), providing operators with total control and visibility over charging in the context of wider logistics or mobility operations.

The autonomous process is overseen by Rocsys Proactive Care, a 24/7 support service offering remote performance monitoring, computer vision performance updates, remote troubleshooting and proactive maintenance to ensure uninterrupted operations, especially in challenging environments like ports and logistics hubs.

Crijn Bouman, co-founder and CEO of Rocsys, said, “The infrastructure that supports existing passenger and logistics vehicles was built for humans, but as we enter a new age of autonomous transport, we need to provide a platform on which these systems can scale. Our Rocsys platform will be the foundation that will power these autonomous vehicles. By combining our market-leading technology with a deep understanding of how these operations work, we serve the needs of both people and businesses while guaranteeing that vehicles are ready and charged when businesses need them.”

The Rocsys Platform was launched at the Advanced Clean Transportation Expo (ACT EXPO) in California, which took place April 28-30, 2025.

In related news,Volkswagen ADMT, the autonomous mobility subsidiary of Volkswagen Group of America, and Uber Technologies recently announced a strategic partnership to deploy a fleet of all-electric, fully autonomous ID. Buzz AD vehicles in multiple US markets over the next decade, starting in Los Angeles, California. Click here to read the full story.
