I’ve always been a big fan of battery swapping I thought this was the way to go. And it’s even more attractive the fact that you don’t have to buy a battery. I think the ideal situation would be if you could design a battery pack standard, that fits any car maker

[freetolook]

Back in 2012, we rented a Toyota Camry hybrid. It kept up with highway traffic, did not need to be plugged in and got 43 mpg even while sitting in traffic jams.
Every time you stepped on the brake, the battery got recharged through regenerative braking. The four cylinder gas engine didn't start until you went over 40 mph which means that while driving around town you didn't use any gas.

The entire car industry must be so burnt from being SHOCKED almost every other day(according to Scotty)

I used to drive an electric forklift at work and I found out quickly that older batteries that show a full charge on the charger only last about an hour. I hope someone is monitoring the health of these batteries because I’d hate to swap out a battery and have it die out after only an hour of driving down the road.

I'm not a huge fan of Elon Musk but I do get tired of YouTube videos that say "Toyota just killed Tesla" or "Tesla just killed so and so" or "This new electric motor is a game-changer" and you get there and its just theory.

I have always wondered why they did not have electric cars where they offer "quick swap" to compensate for the long charge times and all the other battery problems.

Logistics probably doesn't help, but this is nice to see someone is doing it.

I love these mini documentary videos Scotty, thanks!! I wish they could agree on one or a couple standardized batteries for all cars to swap! Bigger cars or trucks could use 2 or 3 of the standard ones!!

Battery swapping is unnecessary and extremely expensive with thousands of batteries hanging around waiting to be swapped. That is a huge cost. Furthermore it is not at all good for freedom of car design.

[bradlewis]

In 1983, I learned Taylor-Dunn, a maker of electric utility vehicles for over 70 years, had implemented battery swapping in some of its models so they could be used around the clock. I have often thought this might be a possible solution for the EV auto market. Great job of presenting the pros and current cons of this approach.

[randallnelson]

They did battery swaps with the first electric cars way back in 1905 or so. It took about 10 to 15 minutes. But gas became cheaper that electric so the electric cars back then never caught on. 😃

[RichardFer]

Nice work, they are able to prevent battery degredation this way. Also the newest battery technology can be applied this way.

[edwardanthony]

Good idea if there are enough stations close enough to avoid breakdowns & also if there are enough batteries to keep up with the swaps!

[musicsavage]

Another huge question that he didn't discuss in this video but he does in others on EVs is environmental implications of battery manufacture and disposal after they reach end of life. Great video Scotty, you're one of the best contributors on YT!

[stephenwinter]

Will NEO come to north america it would definitely do well here in Canada greetings and thanks for the presentation happy new year 🎉🎉

[jungojerry]

Battery swapping sounds like a great idea - IF - they have enough stations all around the country. But in whole, I'm still not sold on EV's in general.

[StevensonCemetery]

At my old job this is what we did with the forklifts. Slide out the battery and charge it and slide in a charger battery and keep on working.

[OTPulse]

A lot of people seem to not understand the cars can still be home charged as well as charging stations, the battery swap is in addition to other options. You only have one main option for diesel/petrol/Gas and that is a station pump. These swap stations will mainly be used by taxis, delivery service providers and the occasional road trip. Ones in cities i would hope have more swap bays and packs to deal with ppl with no home charger capabilities.

[Kurtdog]

Vehicle battery exchange kind of reminds me of buying a printer. You pay 49 dollars for the printer and they charge you 39 dollars for the ink cartridges. Bunch of people bought EV's under guise of free battery swap, and now they are forced to pay for the battery swap at the mercy of their vehicle manufacturer. Guessing it requires a battery only made by THAT EV company so they will have you over a barrel. Kind of like buying a car and the only place able to service or fix it, is the car dealer...

In the past week 2 of the biggest Chinese car manufactures have partnered with NIO for use of their swapping tech going forward. Some of these brands are Geely/Volvo/Polstar/Lotus and many more. NIO is in talks with 2-3 more companies right now. Swapping along with super charging together is the future. Swapping is just another option and the benefits go way beyond just replenishing the pack. Every NIO owner will have the ability to get the latest battery technology in their 5/7/10 year old car with a 2-3 minute battery swap. If you want an upgraded battery with ANY other brand you will have to purchase a new car. China is standardizing battery swapping and NIO has the tech to do it. If I had the choice to purchase a car that can only charge or one that can charge and or swap, its a no brainer. NIO will be a global monster company. Thanks for the video!
