China: the station for exchanging batteries for electric cars that works only with renewable energy

One of the problems of electric cars it’s about the charging times that they might “disorient” consumers accustomed to cars with internal combustion engines. The columns, in addition to increasing in number, are becoming increasingly capable of providing faster recharging by reducing pause times. However, this may not be enough to convince users to switch to new electric mobility.

For this reason, one of the possible options, already covered in the past years, is to realize stations where to exchange “on the fly” there low battery or low on one charge. All this would take place in a few minutes and would be an automated procedure. Of course, like all systems, there are pros and cons even if a manufacturer like NIO seems to have found a promising path from this point of view. Now, always in Chinathe first was inaugurated battery exchange station which works exclusively with renewable energy.

A station for the exchange of batteries for renewable energy electric cars

This station for it exchange of batteries it is found at Lhasa (in the Tibet Autonomous Region) which is located in the Southwestern China. Ownership is once again of the manufacturer NIO which continues to focus heavily on this technology, as written above. The added value of the operation is that the energy used to recharge the batteries (ready for exchange) derives from renewables.

This “detail” allows to further reduce the impact of electric mobility and in particular of electric cars that in this way they can avoid recharging their batteries with non-renewable and polluting sources. In particular, as told by those who work at the station, the energy used is that deriving from thehydroelectric and from solar.

With the current number of models circulating, the station allows to satisfy the need of electric cars circulating in the region also thanks to the excellent solar exposure that allows you to make the most of the solar panels. The general functioning of the battery exchange station it is similar to that of other realities and takes no more than five minutes.

In addition, 106 charging stations and 439 charging stations are available in the Tibet region. Overall in China instead (in November 2021) there were 75 thousand charging stations, 2.62 million columns and 1298 stations for exchanging batteries. Some remain “rocks” the diffusion of this kind of solutions such as the need to have a number of batteries higher than that of the vehicles in circulation and a standardization of the structure where the batteries are located to allow the possibility of being adaptable to more producers. However, this is a path that could be evaluated in the future by other companies.
