TOKYO -- One of China's biggest wind turbine makers plans to tackle the country's chronic shortage of electric vehicle charging points: mobile robots that bring the juice to the car.

Envision Group plans to start testing its Mochi robot -- so named because it provides mobile charging services -- in Shanghai this year. The robot is also being shipped to Singapore.
