Cover Story: Automated charging technologies are becoming important in the electrification of road transport, especially together with automated driving. This study analyzes automated charging technologies for heavy-duty vehicles, with each technology evaluated for advantages, potential, challenges, and technological maturity. Amongst the static conductive charging methods, i.e., robots, underbody-couplers, and pantographs, the latter is the most advanced option. Static wireless charging is operational but faces efficiency challenges. Battery swapping reduces downtime but varies in readiness across implementations. Dynamic charging via an overhead contact line or contact rails is suitable for high-traffic routes. Dynamic wireless charging enables smooth integration into roads and reduced wear and tear.
