Electric Vehicle Battery Swapping Station Design

Abstract

The development of electric vehicles has been rapid in recent years and makes a significant contribution to saving energy [1]. However, relatively long charging times hinder further improvements. This design is based on the concept of 'battery swapping' rather than 'battery charging' and comprises three main aspects: underground battery storage; new technology for battery designs; and unit number, pricing function and charge control. The feasibility of this design is proven through software simulation and a survey.
