Volvo Cars were in news when they announced the Volvo ReCharge Concept at Frankfurt Motor Show. The plug-in hybrid concept features individual electric wheel motors and batteries that can be recharged via a regular electrical outlet. The concept was demonstrated aptly in a specially designed Volvo C30. Use of recycled hybrid batteries to store energy from wind turbines etc. makes it beneficial towards environment. However, along with this, we can also see something more interesting. For which you’ll have to look at the video below, an 8-minute interview with Ichiro Sugioka of Volvo, in which he reveals Volvo’s plan to develop robot pluggers. An automated plug-in system, in the nose of the car, so you position yourself alongside a robotic system, without requiring to plug it in yourself. Via: AutoBlogGreen
