Battery Swapping for Electric Bikes & Scooters

Some are convinced that battery-swapping is the future for electric vehicles. Others, not so much. The system does clearly offer some benefits at the moment. So, it’s no surprise that even electric bikes and scooters are being targeted in this arena now. Here’s the full story:

One of the mental stumbling blocks most people have with EVs has been the long charge time that interrupts long trips. Granted, even with a 2-hour quick charge system in place, that’s a real issue (and if you don’t believe that, spend 2 hours at a Flying J truckstop getting ultra-murdered). That…

A very good idea. Battery swapping could also be tried out in public utility vehicles like buses and trams to ensure efficiency and energy conservation. Trucking companies could enter into an agreement with battery swapping agencies for continuous powering their electric trucks by setting up stations enroute on highways.In fact the same system could make electric cars acceptable as it increases their range exponentially. In future, I hope current fueling stations would also set up side by side battery swapping points.
