IEA HEV-TCP Task 48 Battery Swapping
The HEV TCP was formed in 1993 to produce and disseminate balanced, objective information about advanced electric, hybrid, and fuel cell vehicles. It is an international membership group collaborating under the International Energy Agency (IEA) framework.
The main objective of HEV TCP Task 48 Battery Swapping is to investigate the influences of battery swapping employment on battery chemistry, grid infrastructure, environment, and business model, strengthen the global information exchange on battery swapping technology, help the formation of battery swapping ecosystem and traceability mechanism, and offer suggestions for policy makers and stakeholders.
Task 48 focus on the research and communication on the technology, application, standard and business model of battery swapping, analyzing battery assets whole life cycle management and battery swapping technology evolution, and shining light on the above-mentioned arguments.
Phase I
2021.11-2022.3
Formally establish and absorb member units
1On November 24, 2021, Dr. Xiao Lin, as the operation agent reported to the HEV TCP Excutive Committee, and was highly recognized by the committe,which unanimously agreed to set up the task “Battery Swapping” as the 48th task of HEV TCP.
On March 22, 2022, Task 48 held the kick-off seminar online with the subject of“Battery Swapping in Different Scenarios”.
The included institutions are: Botree Cycling(China), HEV TCP Task 40, Institute for Ecological Economy Research(Germany), Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute(Sweden), Piaggio Group(Italy), Mirattery(China)
