ZiGGY

DESCRIPTION

ZiGGY is a Mobile-Robots from EV Safe Charge. It is built for Display, Marketing, Navigation.

ZiGGY is EV Safe Charge's mobile robotic electric vehicle charger, a self-propelled charging unit meant to serve every space in a parking lot or garage instead of a few spaces wired for fixed chargers. A driver summons it through a mobile app or the car's infotainment system; ZiGGY drives to the parking space, can reserve it before the driver arrives, and the car is then plugged in to charge. Afterwards it returns to its home base to recharge from the grid, a battery or solar power, and it can also be charged off site where no infrastructure is available. Two large screens, one on each side, act as information kiosks or interactive advertising displays so parking operators can earn advertising revenue alongside charging-as-a-service. The company's design-feature image shows cameras on all four sides, a front headlight, a safety sensor band, a tail light and all-wheel steering with a tight turning radius that copes with speed bumps and ramps. The exterior, UX and brand identity were designed with the industrial design studio Box Clever. Unveiled in June 2022, ZiGGY was offered for lease as charging-as-a-service, with production then scheduled for 2023. It was shown in a demonstration program at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport in summer 2023, won Barcelona's B:SM innovation challenge for a flexible charging pilot, and is part of a LACI pilot at Warner Center in Los Angeles with deployment planned for early Q2 2026. No technical specifications are published.
