Rocsys, the global leader in hands-free depot solutions for autonomous electric vehicles, has raised a $13 million Series A extension led by Capricorn Partners, with participation from Scania Invest, Forward.One, SEB Greentech Venture Capital, and Graduate Ventures, bringing total funding raised to $56 million. Alongside the raise, the company unveiled the Rocsys M1, the world’s first hands-free charging solution capable of serving multiple bays in robotaxi operations.
The M1 is currently in pilot deployment, with large-scale rollout planned across North America and Europe in 2027. The system’s modular, multi-bay architecture allows a single unit to serve up to 10 bays, with flexible overhead mounting options that integrate with virtually any depot layout while preserving full parking space. At scale in a 50-bay depot, the Rocsys M1 can deliver up to 75% higher operational efficiency from existing staff and generate up to $1.7 million in annual savings.
The system is built on a platform proven in active port operations and trained on more than six years of real-world data, achieving a 99.9% plug-in success rate in live environments. It combines AI-enhanced computer vision for precise plug-in performance with motion intelligence for safe, context-aware operation, and is fully interoperable across EVs, chargers, and connector types. The technology is backed by more than 130 granted patents and pending applications.
The global robotaxi market is projected to reach $45.7 billion by 2030, driving rapid fleet expansion and intensifying depot operations. As utilization rises, manual charging is emerging as a structural constraint on fleet growth and profitability. Rocsys addresses this by transforming charging into an automated process that maximizes uptime and fleet readiness. The M1 launch has been validated by a major robotaxi deal, with Rocsys targeting thousands of charging bays over the next five years.
KEY QUOTES:
“Autonomous vehicles are growing rapidly, and infrastructure must keep pace. Without hands-free operations, autonomy stops at the depot. The Rocsys M1 introduces smart charging infrastructure for continuous, real-world use at scale, validated by signing a major robotaxi deal. It enables operators to run mixed fleets autonomously, reliably and without interruption. This is the missing link for robotaxi operators to move from pilots to global deployment.”
Crijn Bouman, CEO and Co-Founder, Rocsys
“Robotaxis are entering an acceleration phase, where operational scaling becomes the defining challenge. Infrastructure will determine how quickly and efficiently this transition happens. Rocsys is building the system layer required to support that shift, with proven, purpose-built technology already operating in demanding environments.”
Steven Lambert, Capricorn Partners
“Rocsys technology addresses a key infrastructure bottleneck for the broader deployment of autonomous vehicles. With several years of operational experience, Rocsys has demonstrated a strong focus on reliability, a critical factor for maximizing uptime in real-world operations.”
