This solution enables fully automated charging for autonomous vehicles and electric vehicle fleets without the need for human intervention, trenching, or utility interconnection. The system is commercially viable and has generated significant interest from AV operators, government agencies, and commercial fleet customers in the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and other international markets. Joint demonstrations are planned in the United States and the United Arab Emirates. The initiative is supported by a favorable policy environment in the United States, with President Donald Trump's administration signaling support for AV deployment, and the United Arab Emirates, particularly United Arab Emirates===Abu Dhabi, aiming to lead in AV rollouts, with its AV market projected to reach $2.7 billion by 2030.
