Abstract: The disclosure relates to a method of estimating a location of an object and an apparatus therefor. According to an embodiment of the disclosure, an object location estimation apparatus, when a call request to an object is received from a terminal, initiates driving along a driving path, receives signals from the object during driving along the driving path, determines a distance to the object based on the signals from the object, and when the signals from the object are received the preset number of times or more during driving, estimates the location of the object based on the distance to the object determined based on each of the signals and a location on the driving path at a time of receiving each signal.

Abstract: Disclosed are a charger and a method of charging an electric vehicle. A main body of the charger includes a plurality of sub main bodies coupled to each other to transform its shape. The charger with the main body having a first shape moves toward the electric vehicle, and is then transformed to have a second shape. The first shape refers to a shape allowing the main body to be movable on a ground, and the second shape refers to a shape making the main body occupy a smaller surrounding area of the electric vehicle than the first shape. The electric vehicle is charged as connected to the charger having the second shape. The charger does not obstruct traffic of other vehicles because its size is reduced during charging.
