Introduction
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.
This task focuses 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.
Aim of the workshop
The continuous increase in the penetration rate of new energy vehicles is an inevitable trend for future development. With the surge in new energy vehicle production and sales, new energy vehicle ownership is rapidly increasing. In 2022, global sales of electric vehicles surpassed 10 million units for the first time, with 10.31 million passenger cars, and electric vehicle ownership reached 26 million units. The International Energy Agency (IEA) data shows that the global market penetration of new electric vehicles reached 14% in 2022.
The core issue with new energy vehicles is energy replenishment. On one hand, compared to fuel vehicles, new energy vehicles have a weaker range and there is a strong demand for their replenishment. Complementary energy is the challenge of new energy vehicles compared to fuel vehicles, compared to fuel vehicles that have been developed and mature, as well as fuel stations that have been installed. New energy vehicles generally have a shorter range and require frequent charging, while the number of charging stations is limited, and for some small and medium-sized cities, the number of charging stations is scarce. On the other hand, the year-over-year increase in range has further driven up demand for replenishment.
Two ways to replenish energy for new energy vehicles are charging mode and battery swapping mode. battery swapping is a successful model that has thrived during this stage of deepening conflicts between user demand and charging, which is more efficient and can meet more application scenarios. Battery swapping mode can also be divided into battery swapping station and mobile battery swapping, most of the current use of the battery swapping station mode, which is mainly divided into the side of the battery swapping, sub box battery swapping, chassis battery swapping. Currently, the highest utilization rate is the chassis battery swapping, reaching 90%.
The battery swapping mode has many advantages over charging mode. One of the biggest advantages is the high replenishment efficiency of the battery swapping mode, which can be completed in less than 5 minutes. At the same time, the batteries provided by the battery swapping are monitored and managed by professionals, and efficient use of the valley time for centralized charging reduces battery loss and extends battery life. Overall, battery swapping leads to lower costs, higher efficiency, and a safer experience for users.
Task 48 successfully organized and held online seminars on ” Battery swapping in two or three-wheeled vehicles” and ” Battery swapping in commercial vehicles” in March and June 2023, which received strong support from member organizations and experts. The representatives from participating experts had in-depth discussions and presented constructive opinions for the next development direction
Based on the previous two meetings, Task 48 will organize an online expert seminar on ” Battery swapping in Passenger EVs ” to discuss the current market situation and prospects of Battery swapping in Passenger EVs, as well as the current problems and solutions, to promote the development of the Battery swapping in Passenger EVs market.
The main topics of the workshop are
- Technical aspects of battery swappingin passenger EVs: The design and engineering of battery swapping systems, the types of batteries that are suitable for swapping, and the equipment and infrastructure needed for swapping.
- Business models for battery swapping inpassenger EVs: The costs and benefits of battery swapping, the potential revenue streams from battery swapping, and the role of government policies and regulations in shaping the market for battery swapping.
- Case studies and practices: Presentations and discussions of real-world examples of battery swapping in passenger EVs, including the successes and challenges of these programs, and the lessons that can be learned from them.
- Future trends and developments:Discussions of emerging technologies and trends in battery swapping, and the potential impact of battery swapping on the broader electric vehicle market.
