Now that the electric cars new solutions are emerging to facilitate the fast charging of EV vehicles. More comfortable and above all faster methods with old ones service stations which are increasingly being transformed into special charging stations.
The first application in Europe will be installed in Norway, near the city of Drammen, the first of 20 structures which will be operational by the end of 2022.
Shell Recharge and “battery swap”
Even one of the “fuel queens”, A major oil company, is implementing a new technology for the refueling of electric cars: we are talking about the Shell.
The company has started a collaboration with the Chinese company NIO, to develop stations for the so-called “Battery swap”, also aiming at the European market.
“Battery swap”, Shell and NIO for quick battery swap
This collaboration plans to implement and improve the battery swap, the system that more simply in Italian consists of a rapid exchange of batteries, leave the discharged one and install a charge. What you are trying to develop and make more efficient it is a much faster charging system.
With this system it is possible to charge the electric car very quickly: 70 kWh in 3 minutes!
Electric car recharge with battery replacement
Battery exchange it would take place by removing the battery pack that has exhausted its charge and mounting the new pack on the car 100% load. This is done through a fast process and without even getting out of the car, thus being able to leave for the destination in a few minutes; therefore the two companies would aim a lot to grow this business.
The collaboration of Shell and NIO want to increase the number of stations to 100 from battery swap by 2025. In addition, the agreement will bring new columns Shell Recharge fast charging.
This friendly agreement is good for both realities, because on the one hand NIO wants to sell more and more its cars also in our continent, on the other Shell aims at the transition from fuel to electric. The latter has the objectives of a large company that it is. In fact, by 2025 wants to bring 50,000 charging stations to the British island And 2.5 million charging stations worldwide by 2030.
Exchange of electric car batteries with Shell
Shell aims to bring this technology also in Europe, where this service is still underdeveloped. It does not want to remain alone in the NIO home market in China, where it already owns 300 of these stations.
The goal is to bring this technology for as many models on the market, so as to have greater efficiency for the cars.
Shell Recharge
The collaboration aims to expand the charging network even in the old continent. This will happen thanks to the network already present Shell Recharge Mobility Service Provider.
“Decarbonization is a global challenge that requires far-reaching solutions. This is the most exciting thing about our new partnership with Nio: the breadth of collaboration spills into what we can offer our customers using electric vehicles, both in Europe and in China. Together, we will work to improve every aspect of the electric vehicle experience. This means that we will offer Shell Recharge high-speed charging at Nio locations and make battery change available at dedicated Shell locations, also offering Nio customers our best charging solutions for home and business. ” These are the words of the Vice President of Shell Mobility, István Kapitány.
Battery Swap for trucks
In addition to cars where “the exchange”, as you might think, is more direct and easier, the project also concerns heavy vehicles such as the trucks. Thinking about it is there Janus Electric, agency Australian which specializes in transforming any vehicle into an EV vehicle.
It is true that there are far fewer electric trucks compared to cars, but the focus is always on the future. Janus has created the interchangeable battery system with a whole new and improved technology.
Previously, lithium ion batteries; now, through a study, the old ones have been changed with the new ones a lithium-sulfur and lithium-metal, thanks to the contribution of the company Li-S Energy. This transformation of batteries is also taking place in the automotive world as they are much more efficient.
The mega Battery Swap, literally speaking, it happens on the same principle as that for cars, but here the battery packs are huge. A truck battery has one capacity of 600 KWh.
Now the two companies are testing the functioning and feasibility of the product. The launch should take place in 2023.
