How Motional’s Robotaxi is Making Driverless Vehicles a Safe, Reliable and Accessible Reality
- •Motional (Hyundai Motor Group’s autonomous driving joint venture) is set to commercialize its fully driverless Level 4 robotaxi service in Las Vegas by the end of 2026, marking a concrete timeline for large-scale EV fleet deployment.
- •This commercialization signals a significant, near-term increase in electricity demand for charging infrastructure, creating new opportunities for IPPs and developers in generation, transmission, and grid services.
- •Large power consumers, particularly future robotaxi fleet operators, will face substantial new electricity loads and the need for robust charging infrastructure, potentially driving demand for demand-side management and energy storage solutions.
