A Tesla EV owner and YouTuber Pat Larson has developed an automatic robot charger for juicing up his electric vehicle. The Do-it-yourself (DIY) type charger can position its long arm on its own to connect to the charging port of the Tesla EV. Larson has posted a video on his YouTube channel explaining the how the robot charger works. The robot charging system moves back and forth using linear bearings, positioning itself roughly near the charging port.
