Battery Swapping : State of the Art

By switching the battery of the electric vehicle, its range can be extended.

A switchable battery pack is a battery pack that can be easily installed and removed into and out of the electric vehicle.

The battery bay is a set of interfaces between an electric vehicle (EV) and a switchable battery pack.

Two battery bay alternatives exist today:

 1st Commercial Generation of the Fluence Z.E. (Renault).

March 2008: • Renault reveals its 1st Generation Battery Bay design for Fluence.

July 2008: • Better Place presents conceptual design for battery switch station.

May 2009: • Better Place demonstrates alternative Battery Bay concept in Japan.

September 2009: • Renault demonstrates the Fluence including the commercial 1st Generation in Frankfurt auto show.

April 2010: • Better Place demonstrates its alternative Battery Bay prototype on electric taxis in Tokyo, Japan.

July 2010: • Better Place demonstrates integration of Fluence 1st Generation in the BP Alpha battery switch station

WHY A BATTERY QUICK EXCHANGE SYSTEM? => QUICK DROP

G. Hennequet June 30, 2011 5 2. Current Renault Fluence Z.E. Quick Drop System

WHY A BATTERY QUICK EXCHANGE SYSTEM? => QUICK DROP

The « conventional » by wire EV charging systems could appear long in some customer usage situations (6 to 8 hours for standard charging and 20 to 30 minutes for fast charging)

The QUICK-DROP system allows switching a discharged battery by a fully charged one in less than 5 minutes. The customer will start up again with 100% Autonomy Capability.

To reduce Range Anxiety => Similar to a Conventional Gas Station.

…. Clean, Simple, Fast and Without Constraints.

EASYBAT - " Models and generic interfaces for easy and safe Battery insert ion and removal in electric vehicles “ GC-SST.2010.7-4. GC-SST.2010.7-4. TPT // GA N°26568 4

EASYBAT’s main mission is to address battery integration challenges by defining new concepts for the smart insertion of batteries and by developing in particular generic interfaces for electric vehicles.

This research project aims at enabling smooth batteries integration and swap. The EASYBAT integration system will be developed for fully electric vehicles. EASYBAT will develop : • Generic interfaces to improve interoperability between the battery system modules and the vehicle on board-systems • New components for an easy & safe location and quick integration of the battery in the vehicle. • At each stage of the project, the EASYBAT partners will assess the feasibility of the overall battery swapping concept considering costs, logistics, and environmental aspects.
