At CES 2026, Autel Energy is presenting its newest smart hardware and software designed for real-world city operations. This year’s exhibition marks a clear move away from experimental AI concepts toward systems already engineered for specific use cases and large-scale deployment. The focus is on turning AI into reliable, repeatable infrastructure that operates in closed loops across real environments.
In Smart Energy, the company is introducing a V2G-enabled AC charger for residential use and a DC charging solution designed for fleet operations. These products strengthen Autel’s end-to-end energy strategy, covering everything from homes to commercial sites. Visitors to the booth can also see live demonstrations of a smart charging robot capable of automatically connecting vehicles to chargers.
In Smart Inspection, Autel is debuting its Embodied Collective Intelligence Solution, built around wheeled inspection robots. Together, these offerings form a connected system that spans homes, charging stations, cloud platforms, and infrastructure maintenance—addressing rising electricity demand from AI-driven workloads while improving the efficiency of large-scale facilities.
Autel’s Smart Energy portfolio is designed to support a wide range of charging scenarios, including homes, fleets, destination charging, and high-power stations. For residential users, the V2G-enabled MaxiCharger AC Compact Gen 2 allows homeowners to interact with the power grid and better manage electricity usage and costs. For fleet and commercial customers, the MaxiCharger DC50 offers fast charging in a compact footprint of less than 0.2 cubic meters, using Autel’s in-house silicon carbide power module for high efficiency and flexible installation.
At the large-station level, the MaxiCharger DH480 provides up to 480 kW from a single output and maintains over 98% operational uptime. It has already been deployed at multiple large sites across North America. Together, these AC and DC solutions demonstrate Autel’s ability to deliver charging systems that scale from residential to commercial environments.
At CES, Autel is also demonstrating the coordination between its Avant smart charging robot and its charging stations. The robot can locate vehicles, align itself with charging ports, and complete plug-in operations without human assistance, enabling round-the-clock charging. When paired with systems like the DC50, this setup offers a practical solution for fleet depots, commercial charging hubs, and future autonomous vehicles.
In the inspection space, Autel is unveiling its Embodied Collective Intelligence Solution for infrastructure monitoring. Designed for campuses, energy facilities, industrial sites, and data centers, the robots perform frequent inspections across locations such as power stations, bridges, parks, and transportation networks.
The system combines high-accuracy navigation, reliable obstacle avoidance, and close-range data capture to continuously monitor critical equipment. Connected to cloud-based analytics and task management tools, the platform supports a full cycle of inspection, issue detection, alerts, and response—helping infrastructure operate more independently and recover more quickly from problems.
Also debuting at CES is Autel’s Future City Panoramic Display Model, which brings these technologies together in a single visual framework. The model covers common urban assets such as highways, solar-storage-charging hubs, industrial parks, bridges, ports, and campuses. It demonstrates how energy supply, facility inspection, and daily operations can be coordinated through shared intelligence and centralized scheduling, offering a practical look at how future cities may function with higher levels of automation and autonomy.
Through its CES 2026 presentation, Autel is showing how its use-case-driven AI strategy is translating into deployable solutions across multiple industries. By focusing on systems that can scale and operate reliably in real environments, the company is positioning itself as a builder of next-generation urban and infrastructure platforms.
