When it comes to changing batteries for mobile phones and other electronic tools to continue to use, I believe everyone is familiar with it. Now, as more and more people use new energy vehicles, many people hope to replace a battery for the car, so as to avoid the long-term charging process, and the convenience of new energy charging vehicles will be more reflected. vividly. Recently, in our city, with the first batch of 30 pure electric taxis of Lanzhou Jiaofajian New Energy Taxi Co., Ltd. officially put into operation in the mode of battery replacement, it also means that from now on, the page of battery replacement for electric vehicles in our city will officially open. up. So how does the car change the battery? How long does it take to change a battery? Recently, with these questions, the reporter came to Lanzhou Jiaofa Jianyan Baiqiao Power Station to learn about it.
It only takes 3 to 5 minutes to change the battery, saving at least 55 minutes than charging
On the 26th, the reporter came to the Baiqiao Substation near the Yanbai Bridge. The battery swapping station under the bridge is long and narrow, with charging piles and divided parking spaces neatly arranged from the entrance to the inside. A large orange container-style battery swap box is placed in the middle of the battery swap station, and this is exactly the device that can provide car battery swaps. At this time, an electric taxi with the car number Gan A·D89123 came in to change the battery. The reporter also observed carefully. At 4:10 p.m., the battery-swapping vehicle drove into the battery-swapping container via the dedicated lane. After precise calibration and other procedures, the battery under the car was removed by the robotic arm, and then a fully charged battery was sent to the bottom of the car by the “mechanical arm” for replacement, and then the staff inspected the replaced battery. The driver drives the vehicle out of the container. The time at this time is 4:13, which means that the process of changing all the batteries only took 3 minutes.Also read:48V 500Ah Lithium Ion Battery
Liu Zhanqian, deputy general manager of Lanzhou Jiaofajian New Energy Co., Ltd., told reporters that daily charging of an electric car takes at least 1 hour at the fastest, while changing a battery takes only 5 minutes at the slowest. A taxi saves 55 minutes. Moreover, the battery swap mode is also conducive to the centralized management and maintenance of the battery, improving the service life, and it can be charged in batches at off-peak times to improve energy utilization efficiency. Especially in winter in the cold northern region, the stable indoor temperature can ensure the effect of charging, increase energy storage and prolong life. For taxis with double shifts and high loads, the battery swap mode greatly improves operational efficiency and solves the problem of vehicle battery life.
Battery swap mode improves operational efficiency Taxi drivers like it
“The speed of battery replacement is faster, and the time for our sports car is saved. We can travel to more places and earn more money. In this way, citizens can also take more taxis.” A taxi that has just changed its battery Driver Han Zhenjun told reporters. The reporter learned that in order to ensure that the replacement station can fully meet the needs of new vehicles on the road, Jiaofajian New Energy Company conducted special intensive training for the on-duty personnel in the early stage of operation. The training content includes battery replacement equipment maintenance, battery replacement equipment debugging, mechanical equipment maintenance, etc. At present, the Yanbaiqiao Swap Station has reached the optimal working condition, which can fully guarantee the smooth replacement of vehicles. And in the next step, Jiaofajian New Energy Company will continue to expand the business of battery swapping stations in Lanzhou City to meet the growing demand for battery swapping of new energy taxis.Also read:Lithium Battery Manufacturers
“Charging is still a bit of a hassle, and you have to wait for it to be charged minute by minute. And if there are many vehicles charging, you have to queue up. This is a good way to change the battery, fast and convenient. I hope it will be extended to more taxis in the future. “A master who is charging the taxi in the power station told the reporter. And other taxi drivers who are charging around have also expressed their agreement with this point of view. They hope that the new energy battery swap model will be more popular in our city in the future, which will facilitate the operation of taxis and contribute to public transportation. Contribute to alleviating the difficulty of taking a taxi.
