One main problem, that’s above any other problems with the battery swapping format and ev’s in general, is that the buyer becomes fully reliant on the battery swap centers. If the centers are closed, say government action, all ev’s zoom to a halt. With gas, it has private reserves, and with rechargeable ev’s, they also have private reserves as a power source, but battery swap ev’s DO NOT.

The battery packs cost more than a loaded Camry and never get a break. The place runs 24/7. The batteries are not taken care of.

This would completely remove the expense of the battery from EV's! After you've bought an electric vehicle. You would be set for life as far as the battery for your vehicle goes. Leaving the battery exchange company with warehouses full of batteries that will no longer hold a charge. I don't see how battery exchange companies would be able to do and still have prices that were anywhere near reasonable. And not only would they be stuck with potentially hundreds of thousands to many millions of unserviceable batteries per year. They'd be on the hook to dispose of them. Something that would be very very costly. And lastly, here in the United States to be practical the exchange points would need to be as common as gas stations. Whiles storing hundreds to thousands of batteries in a relatively small footprint. This sounds good. But work about as well as if GM pulled your engine and replaced it every time you needed an oil change, assuming they had come up with quick release motor mounts.

@matthewhuszarik4173 6 күн бұрын

You wouldn’t need thousands of batteries. Charge them to 80%-90% giving ~350 miles of range. When they get brought back they would probably have 10%-20% remaining charge. These batteries could be charged up in a couple hours easily. So you would only be required to have a couple hours demand of batteries. Do maybe a hundred or two at most.

Even at 200 batteries in stock, they wouldn't be able to keep up. A study would have to be completed at each station site within a city for potential business, that's for starters. Then allowances would have to be made for holidays when people travel most and for summer time when people travel more. Then there's safety considerations. If that station with hundreds of batteries ever catches fire, oh my goodness, it would be a serious disaster!! They have enough problems putting out a fire on one EV alone. If a city was smart, they would isolate that station far away from other buildings with tons of fire protection!!

And if someone gets a faulty one and combusts who is liable? Can see some problems here' Plus the mega amount of power needed. If the battery contacts are spring loaded and not mechanically bolted that's a failure point with frequent changes too as the contacts wear.

Competition. Once Rome conquered the Mediterranean there was no reason to build new models of ships. Once the Ottomans conquered Constantinople the Portuguese figured out the technology to be able to sail around Africa which led to a naval arms race between various Europeans for domination in the Atlantic. China is behind in many areas but that competition is fuel for experimentation and innovation. That after all is why Rome stole Carthaginian technology and reengineered it against the Carthaginians.

Here's the thing, battery swap stations still do not solve the inherent drawback with batteries, that's the long recharge time. Say a station has a long line of car customers. Eventually the station will run out of charged batteries for the next car and the same issue ensues, long wait for the charged battery. The throughput is still nowhere compared to that of a gas station. For smaller batteries such as those in scooters then sure, its a perfect solution

@2chuck 6 күн бұрын

I've been looking into EVs, especially used, but there is one deal breaker unless there is warranty left on the battery. If for any reason the Battery needs replacement you need to scrap the car no matter how pristine because the battery will cost more than the car is worth. Even a minor accident could cause damage to the battery to the point of replacement. This type of Battery "rental" could make ally any fears of battery replacement except if it's damaged. It might make more sense for that scenario.

Battery swapping is the dumbest idea. Why would I swap out my new battery for some abused battery that I have no idea the condition?

China doesn’t make things that last…and they don’t have appropriate safety regulations either….so their “battery swapping stations” shouldn’t be trusted either. It’s completely different if you are buying from an American company that happens to manufacture in China…the quality is better…..but something made by a Chinese company is garbage and unsafe and not going to last. Plus they always falsely promote everything they build as being “great” and then their bridges and buildings collapse…their elevators don’t arrive but the doors open and people walk in and plummet to their death…they even get caught in elevator doors….their escalators fall apart and people fall into the machinery and die….you can’t trust anything they say about anything they make.
