Awesome Mobility has developed a specially constructed fast charging module that is optimized for public scale application of fast charging and electric driving. The basic module is designed to withstand the often harsh environments it will be exposed due to the weather, vandalism and heavy duty of every day life. The simple exterior look modular design allows for future interior technical hardware and software
improvements. Combined with the increase in use of electric vehicles, the need for fast charging units will increase hence production will get cheaper from economies of scale. The time of charging using Awesome Mobility Recharge Unit is much quicker than regular charging.

Because electric wires hanging around everywhere is a public nuisance to the city and our communities, charging units installed on the curbside of our streets isn't a very good idea. We should begin research on whether wireless charging is possible using radio-electronic waves from one sensor to another.

That's cool news. Have you guys considered something like a heated and motorized cover that would protect the system while it's not in use and would automatically slide away when in use?

You are absolutely right about that point and it solves many other problems.
We are hopeful to put more information on the web soon.

Thank you for your critics - the voice was done by our Australian mate, slightly parodying the way of presentating Etran (also on youtube).
The system, at first being designed for the Netherlands, considers harsh weather, but a detailed plan of the mechanism that can withstand even more extreme conditions is under development.
Thank you for the advise about the Roomba - we are still looking for a system to actually dock.

Certainly looks cool. MultiMonitor's point about salt and ice is a good one. The good note is that it does get rid of the issue of the need for a plug based charging station, which could be vandalized.

Too many hype words, not enough thought.
Snow, salt, and ice would rip this to shreds. If plugging in a power cord is too much work for drivers then there is always the Roomba autodocking method.
Nice animation.
