Abstract
A charging system includes a service vehicle and a controller. The service vehicle includes a chassis, a series of tractive elements coupled to the chassis, an energy storage device, and a charging interface operatively coupled to the energy storage device. The controller is configured to identify a location of a vehicle, control the service vehicle to navigate to the location of the vehicle, and control the service vehicle to transfer energy from the energy storage device to the vehicle through the charging interface.
