Reduced logistic robot energy through upgrades

Is it possible to reduce the logistic robot energy usage using upgrades? I feel like it might be possible using scripting, but I'm not sure if that would work for robots created after the research finishes. Any ideas?

Afaik no. There is no effect type for technology to do that in game and you can't add your own.

Do you think it might be possible to have logistic robots have 0 energy usage, and just have a timer on the entity that lowers its energy? Then maybe with research increase the timer's length, so it discharges slower? I'm not too familiar with factorio's coding, so I'm not sure if this is possible (or if it would be too large a CPU drain)

That would MAYBE be possible with script, but having many bots would probably be UPS killer.
