Ev Battery Swapping Means Less Downtime For Fleets

Sign up for daily news updates from CleanTechnica on email. Or follow us on Google NewsElectric vehicles have been winning over fleet managers, but working around the downtime for battery charging can be a stumbling block for fleets on a tight schedule. Fast-charging batteries are one solution. EV battery swapping is emerging as another option, once stakeholders can solve the age old problem of matching swapping-equipped vehicle with a swapping station network.EV Battery Swapping For Less DowntimeEV battery swapping has not caught on here in the US — at least, not yet. However, it is rapidly gaining traction elsewhere, one hotspot being China.In the latest development in that area, earlier today the Chinese startup U Power reported a quick follow-on order for its new EV battery swapping stations. Introduced earlier this year, the stations raise the bar on driver convenience by deploying free-standing, guided robotic vehicles to do the swapping.U Power credits its robotic vehicles with a swapping time of just 2-3 minutes.Other automotive stakeholders companies in China have a headstart on the EV battery swapping business, the leading example being NIO with a similar swapping time claim of 3 minutes

Initial versions of the technology were intended to encourage people to buy electric cars, with the promise of spending less time recharging and more time driving. That was a tough sell, but the market for two-wheeled EV battery swapping has been exploding as both the simplicity and the convenience factors kick in.Teaching New Tricks To Old EV Battery SwappingThe idea of swapping out a whole EV battery is nothing new in the logistics industry, where battery swapping has been a common feature of battery-powered forklifts and other equipment going back to the days of lead-acid technology. Taking up valuable time to recharge a battery while it’s in the vehicle is not a good fit for warehouse operations, where practically every second counts.Pitching the EV battery swap to car drivers has been a much tougher row to hoe. However, battery swapping among the scooter-driving public seems to be another kettle of fish entirely
