Battery-changing concept for EVs pitched for China
An electric vehicle experiment in Japan that addresses the problem of keeping EVs charged to allow for longer, worry-free travel could be done in Beijing too, a recent car battery forum showed.
In Japan’s model station, a driver does not have to alight from the vehicle to charge the EV, and there are no attendants dragging cords to plug into the car chassis. Instead, a mechanical arm pulls out a spent battery and inserts a fully charged one back in. The entire process takes no more than five minutes.
Michal Vakrat Wolkin, global head of battery technologies at Better Place, the same company that set up the Japanese project, shared this at the 2nd EV Lithium-ion Battery Forum held in Beijing last week.
