As the name implies, battery swapping technology is a method by which a user can swap a battery to keep the vehicle running. A swapping station installed in a specific location consists of multiple batteries that are constantly charged. An EV user can find a swapping station, replace the depleted battery with a charged one, charge the empty battery, and drive to work. Battery swapping technology has expanded the options available to fleet owners who want to keep their vehicles running without having to worry about charging time.
EV users use battery swapping to replace discharged batteries with charged ones at swap stations. It aids in the resolution of the problem of charging station installation while also reducing driver range anxiety. Also battery leasing can help EV owners save money on the cost of buying a battery. It takes the least amount of time and infrastructure to charge at a battery station, which could take hours.
Emerging business models
By decoupling cost of the battery from the vehicle itself, battery swapping promotes new business models. We are seeing the emergence of Battery as a Service (BaaS) business models and separate battery asset management companies in the industry. Consumers can benefit from swapping as well. EV batteries lose range over time, but users can easily upgrade to the latest battery technologies with a swap system, provided their BMS is compatible.
The technology will almost certainly be a critical enabler of electrification, not only in automobiles, but also in micromobility, rideshare fleets, autonomous vehicles, and heavy-duty commercial fleets. It may also be one of the most cost-effective ways to construct large stationary energy storage systems required to support the world’s growing renewable energy supplies.
