How to position battery charging and swapping system in EV charging market?

Posted at :2020-11-06 author:EASTPOWERviews:

The rapid development of China's new energy vehicle industry has attracted worldwide attention. For five consecutive years, China has ranked first in the world in terms of production and sales of new energy vehicles, and the new energy vehicle industry has become one of the emerging drivers of China's economic and social development.


Many people are concerned about the difficulty in charging new energy vehicles, especially pure electric vehicles. For example, there are few parking spaces in urban areas, so it is quite difficult to charge. Relatively speaking, parking in the suburbs is easier, but it may also be difficult to charge due to other constraints, such as fewer charging piles, higher failure rate, or interfaces discrepancy.

 

In addition to increasing the number of charging piles and speeding up the installation process, the battery charging and swapping system can also be another effective way to solve the problem.

 

If the electric car and the battery are separated, there are the following advantages.

 

First, the separation of vehicle and electricity will greatly reduce the cost of car purchase for consumers. Batteries account for about 30% to 40% of the value of an electric car. If there is no need to buy batteries, the price of the car will be reduced by at least 30% to 40%, so that consumers can enjoy this kind of benefits.

 

Second, after the separation of the vehicle and electricity, the way of battery replacement is also very meaningful for the safe operation of the battery. Professionals do professional things, and the battery professional operating company is responsible for battery charging and discharging. A safety test can be carried out for the battery after each charge and discharge, which would effectively reduce people's concerns about safety.

 

Third, the battery-swapping system can make the best of the difference between peak and valley electricity prices to reduce the cost of charging. This is carried out and controlled by the operator of the charging and changing cabinet.

 

Fourth, the battery-swapping system is conducive to the recycling and cascade utilization of batteries. It is the requirement of environmental protection to reduce the discarding and improper disposal of batteries. The recycled waste power storage battery can be used for cascade utilization in the field of base station standby power and energy storage. The new battery may be installed in the car. When its energy storage efficiency is reduced and the car is scrapped, we can take the battery out and use it for the energy storage power station. After the energy of storage power station is lowered, we can use it as an emergency power station until the battery capacity is eventually exhausted.

 

Fifth, it is actually more convenient for consumers to a certain extent. For instance, we bought a new electric car and we drove it on the road till the battery was exhausted, it would take some time to charge quickly; However, if we choose to replace the battery, there is no difference between refueling and charging time, which may take less time than the traditional refueling method. Where there is a gas station along the highway there is a battery-swapping station, the problem is no longer a problem.

 

Sixth, if you want to change the new electric vehicle you just bought, you might be under great pressure to evaluate the residual value of the vehicle, because you don’t know how this evaluation standard should be measured. The important thing here is how healthy the battery is. It's difficult to be sure. Many people don't know how to evaluate it. But if you choose to change the battery, this problem will be solved.

 

At the same time, battery replacement will also bring about some new service models and service formats, such as some specialized battery banks and battery operating companies. In addition, many apps will be developed, similar to what we now call takeaways and express delivery.

 

Another advantage is that from a consumer's point of view, we generally don't drive more than 50 kilometers per day in urban areas, so it is a waste in itself to run the 50 kilometers with a 500-mile battery. If I choose to replace the battery, I can rent a battery for 60 kilometers or 70 kilometers to drive 50 kilometers a day, which will greatly reduce the weight of the electric car and is a kind of energy-saving behavior in itself. Many a little makes a mickle. If every electric vehicle does this, the energy saving effect will be very obvious.

 

Therefore, for electric vehicle charging, battery charging and swapping system serves as an effective supplementary method besides the deployment of charging pile.

 

Battery charging & swapping system has extensive application:

Ÿ   Electric vehicles for Logistic & express delivery which need fast charging 

Ÿ   Household electric vehicles which require safe charging

Ÿ   Electric bikes for bike sharing business which calls for safe & fast charging

Ÿ   5G base station which asks for remote operation & easy maintenance

Ÿ   EV operating companies with unified standard batteries for their vehicles who requires internal unified management on battery charging

 

EAST Dahoma Battery-Swapping System integrates the Internet of things technology and lithium battery BMS management technology, and replaces user battery charging with centralized battery exchange to solve the battery life issue on the electric vehicles. In the form of cabinet for intelligent battery charging and exchanging, the original mode of self-charging by users is upgraded to the mode of centralized charging and exchanging.
