A year ago Tesla dismissed the alternative path of electric car battery swapping as 'riddled with problems and not suitable for widescale use'. It seems Beijing disagrees.
A GM spokesperson told Reuters that swappable batteries "are not part of our strategy at present."
The ease of exchanging batteries in e-scooters has been demonstrated in Asia and Europe, but the challenge is adapting the technology to larger and more complex cars, trucks and vans. See accompanying short story:Concerns about the length of swapping times have also faded, with Nio saying it has automated the process so it takes as little as 90 seconds.
The ministry aims to have more than 100,000 battery-swappable vehicles and more than 1,000 swap stations, in total, in 11 cities by 2023; stations in the bigger cities will accommodate both passenger and commercial vehicles, while outlying provincial cities will focus on electric heavy-duty trucks. CATL wants domestic firms to accept its standard battery design so its stations can service models from multiple brands, according to a person close to the company who declined to be named due to commercial sensitivities, adding that it expected more car brands to adopt its standardized designs.
