Can delivery robots charge near their depots?
Delivery robots and robotaxis both need to charge, and where a fleet stages decides how easily it can. This measures public EV charging stations within roughly 5km of each operator's depot area, from public charging GIS. The densest operating area sits inside one of the richest charging grids in the country, while sparser areas give a fleet fewer options within reach. This is the charging environment a fleet inherits, not a claim about the robots' own charging hardware, and every count carries the Measured basis.

Charging stations within ~5km, densest first

| Serve Robotics | Los Angeles (Hollywood/WeHo/Mid-City) | 862 | 862 EV charging stations within a ~5km radius of Serve's LA operating area (Hollywood/WeHo/Mid-City bbox -118.45,34.0 to -118.25,34.15) from LA Geohub charging FeatureServer. This is the most charging-dense robot operating area in any corridor — verified per-station data with L2/DCFC port counts. | Reported |
| Coco Robotics | Los Angeles (HQ) | 862 | Coco HQ in LA shares the same charging-dense area as Serve. 862 EV stations within ~5km of LA operations area. However, sidewalk robots (Coco) use standard outlets, not EV fast chargers — the relevant infrastructure is ground-floor outlets, which nobody publishes. | Reported |
Charging environment vs charging hardware
This measures the charging grid around a fleet's depot, not the robots' own batteries or charging speed. A dense grid gives an operator flexibility: more places to top up, shorter deadhead to a charger, easier scaling. A sparse grid concentrates a fleet on its own depot charging. Every figure is measured from public charging GIS, so it is a Measured environmental signal, not an operator claim.

Charging density is measured from public EV charging GIS within about a 5km radius of each operator's depot area and carries the Measured basis. It describes the charging environment a fleet stages in, not the robots' own charging hardware, and is not a reviewed DEPLOY registry record, so it carries no registry verified chip. How we verify
