Q&A for Power Exchange Cabinet

1.The size of the electric vehicle is different, you can change it at will, right?

No,different models of electric vehicles may have different capacities of their own batteries. Therefore, changing the battery is not to replace the original battery of the original electric vehicle with a new one, but to use the same battery for different types of electric vehicles. Replace the battery with the same specification and capacity in the replacement battery cabinet provided by the battery replacement company.

2.Can I change the battery of my own electric vehicle with a power exchange cabinet?

No, Electric vehicles that can use the power exchange cabinet have two characteristics.

Firstly, The battery is under the seat. Also it can be removed at any time and has the special battery compartment and socket.
secondly, The brand of the electric vehicle is the same as the brand of the power exchange cabinet. It is an electric vehicle and battery under the same brand. Use the mobile phone APP to operate the battery replacement.

3,Use this brand of electric vehicle to go to another brand’s power exchange cabinet to change the battery, Use the cheaper one ,Is it okay?

No,Generally, there may be different brands of power exchange operators in an area, but it is not common to exchange batteries between each other,
so you can only choose the power exchange cabinet of the brand you purchased to replace the power. If you want to use cheaper ones, you can only rent batteries of that brand.

There are also charges based on the number of battery replacements, but this option is relatively rare.

What pain points can be solved by sharing electrical cabinet?

With the rapid development of the electric bicycle industry，in promoting the concept of energy saving and emission reduction is also the service innovation change and consumer upgrade.

Therefore，shared power exchange was born, Not only meets people’s needs for power exchange, but also allows for better battery recycling. It has been rapidly spreading in industries such as express delivery and take-out. The future shared power exchange cabinet will be the trend of the development of the new energy era.

What is a shared power exchange cabinet?

Shared power exchange cabinet for storage of battery equipment，Each cabinet stores one battery, and there is usually a display or QR code on the cabinet to prompt subsequent operations. Each cabinet has a charging device that can charge empty batteries until they are full.

This shared battery charging and changing reduces the time to wait . It can also allows riders to immediately depart with a full charge.

What pain points can be solved by sharing electrical cabinet?

1.Short battery life

Long-term use of the battery leads to battery aging, affecting the normal battery life，bringing trouble to daily travel while also increasing the cost of battery replacement costs.

2.Big security risks

Improper charging caused numerous safety accidents，battery failure、long time charging、charger mismatch、indoor corridor charging and other reasons accounted for a high proportion.

3.Electric bikes are difficult to charge

As the first choice for energy saving，the number of electric bicycles continues to grow. It takes 8-12 hours to fully charge the battery，and the waiting time is long. Traditional charging methods can no longer meet the market demand.

4.Multiple battery models

At present，lead-acid batteries account for more than 99% of the market，while less than 1% of lithium batteries also have problems such as different shapes， non-universal interfaces，and inability to conduct intelligent remote management.

Exchange cabinet development prospect

Recently, electric vehicle frequently used in some places, such as food delivery and express delivery outlets, a brand-new smart battery swap cabinet has appeared. What is the development prospect of the power exchange cabinet?

At present, the operators of power exchange cabinets mostly adopt the three-in-one operation mode. It is vehicle (electric vehicle) + electricity (power exchange cabinet) + station (electric vehicle power exchange 5G service station) to provide professional solutions for motorcycle travel.

Generally, It only costs a few hundred RMB for unlimited use within a month. Also the battery can last for nearly 50 kilometers after changing a battery. From then on, say goodbye to the charging problem of electric vehicle.

If the user’s own electric vehicle battery does not match the replacement battery, some operators also provide free modification services. The battery life of the electric vehicle is always declining, and it is expensive to replace a new battery. This problem will be effectively solved after the power exchange method is adopted.

In the future, people who have electric vehicle travel needs, in addition to buying a car. They can also consider renting a car, using shared electric vehicle, Of course, it also includes replacement services. The choice of users will definitely be more diverse.

The advantages of shared charging bank and markets in lower-tier cities

Consumers said：”I was originally not optimistic because I have a lot of power bank , so I don’t need to use shared power bank at all. Later, I found it quite useful. When I go out to dinner or watch a movie I forget to bring a power bank is quite a problem , I tried to rent a power bank several times, but it was not nearby. When the brand is up, there is a sense of trust, so I am willing to use it.”

The entire shared charging bank industry is growing steadily

First of all, it changes the needs of consumers. Due to the increasing use of cell phones in daily life, “power anxiety” has become a problem for people outside. Traditional charging devices can be inconvenient, but the benefits of shared charging are even greater. The increasing use of cell phones on a piecemeal basis every day has created a significant power challenge. The data shows that the average monthly usage time of cell phone users is 97.3 hours, while the average power consumption of mainstream cell phones is only 33% after 5 hours of serious use, which further aggravates the “power anxiety”.

Secondly, the penetration of shared chargers in life scenes. Nowadays, the charge bank has been widely used in all aspects of life, restaurants, theaters, shopping malls and convenience stores. Moreover, it will also affect People’s Daily life and enable them to enjoy better services.

Markets in lower-tier cities

According to the analysis, due to the gradual weakening of demographic dividend in the first and second tier cities, there is still a large space for the sinking market, and the third and fourth tier cities will also be the main market covered by its services,The best way is to dig more markets in lower-tier cities.

Business models of power exchange cabinet

The power exchange cabinet is placed at the maintenance point of electric vehicles or near the previous charging piles particularly places with more electric vehicles.In order to prevent the user from going to the front of the power exchange cabinet and finding that there is no battery to replace,

The above are two kinds of shared charging bank cabinets and merchants’ recommendations.

The advantages of eight-port sharing power bank

The advantages of eight-port sharing power bank

People who have made shared power banks should know that the models of shared power banks are mostly 6 ports and 8 ports. These models do not choose merchants or models, they only need to be placed next to the cashier, and can also be used with other models in combination with floor display racks。

Whether it is a convenience store or a large restaurant, the 8-port cabinet of shared charging treasures can be satisfied. After all, although the traffic of these passengers is large, they do not stay for a long time. The probability of borrowing all the charging treasures in one time period is very small, so From the point of view of the applicability of the place, the 8 cabinets do not choose merchants nor occupy space, so they are popular with merchants.

Shared power bank 8-port cabinet with low cost and fast return

Shared charging treasure is divided into desktop shared charging cabinet and shared charging treasure advertising machine. The former is mainly aimed at mass merchants. Shared charging treasure advertising machine has high requirements for merchants. It is generally placed in KTV, bars, railway stations and other places.

Shared smart switch cabinet

It is obvious that the physical hardware part of the entire system is responsible for the storage of battery equipment，Each cell stores one battery. There is usually a display screen on the battery cabinet, which can display the operation QR code of the cabinet.

Battery

As we all know that batteries are placed in each cabinet door. The user can open the cabinet door when renting, and the user can take it out of the cabinet.

User terminal battery swap APP/mini program

This is the client for the user to operate, usually a small program/iOS Android APP, Thus the functions implemented mainly include the battery replacement process, fee payment, deposit payment and withdrawal, etc.

Operation and maintenance APP/mini program

Usually, the client that provides maintenance management for maintenance personnel is usually a small program or APP. Also the maintenance personnel can operate to open the door of the power exchange cabinet and replace the battery.

WEB background management system

The management background can view all the shared battery replacement cabinets and the running status and usage data of the battery, and can manage users, operation and maintenance personnel, etc., In order to manage the operation of the entire product.

cloud server

It is the central control of the entire system, especially connecting all other parts to realize the corresponding business process.

We cannot emphasize the importance of sharing electric bike too much. Because it will make our lives easier.
