Lanzhou’s first battery swapping station was officially put into operation. It only takes 3-5 minutes to change the battery of an electric taxi
According to the reporter's information from Lanzhou Jiaotong Development and Construction New Energy Company on the 9th, the Yanbaiqiao Power Swap Station has been put into operation, realizing the 'zero' breakthrough in the city's power swapping station, and the electric taxi 'power swapping mode' was officially launched. It is reported that the Yanbaiqiao Swapping Station adopts all-lithium-ion battery swapping technology, and the electric taxi can complete the battery swapping work in 3-5 minutes, which can meet at least 100 swapping pure electric vehicles every day. At present, the construction of charging piles in our city has begun to take shape. Although there is no need to worry about not being able to find charging piles, the long charging time still traps most electric taxi drivers. The activation of the battery swap mode not only helps to improve the battery life, but also greatly helps the management and maintenance of the battery, and can better deal with the peak 'difficult charging' problem. 'Replacement is to replace the battery. The taxi driver only needs to drive the car into the replacement station. The system will automatically identify the type of vehicle, use a robotic arm to move the battery to separate it from the vehicle, and then carry out a series of recycling, transfer, etc. Process.' On March 9, the relevant staff of Lanzhou Jiaotong Development and Construction New Energy Company told reporters that the Yanbaiqiao Power Swap Station Management System has realized the unified management of chargers, power swaps, access control systems and other equipment, realizing the entire 'Fully automated operation' in the swap station. It is understood that the first batch of 30 pure electric taxis with a 'replacement mode' of Lanzhou Jiaofa New Energy Taxi Company have been put into operation at the beginning of the month, and each car can be replaced with a full battery in only 3 to 5 minutes for continuous operation. . 'At present, the Yanbaiqiao Swapping Station is important to swap the latest BAIC New Energy electric taxis.' The staff member said that due to the matching of new and old batteries, the Yanbaiqiao Swapping Station will not rent out the old BAIC New Energy electric taxis. Electric vehicles and electric private cars provide battery swap services.
