(AP Photo/Ng Han Guan) XIAMEN, China (AP) — The world's largest maker of batteries for electric vehicles said Wednesday it will get into battery swapping in China in a big way starting next year. The idea behind battery swapping is to refuel quickly, similar to filling a conventional car with gas.
An electric vehicle has to be equipped with the right technology in order to use a battery swapping station, and not many EV models around the world currently allow for swapping. Conversely, an electric car can use any charging station in China because all use a common plug, and fast-charging technology is reducing the time for a recharge.
China's rapid adoption of battery swapping has set a strong precedent for the global market. By 2030, some industry experts predict that battery swapping could account for up to 10% of the global EV market, with hundreds of millions of battery swaps annually.
Rarely seen globally, there are already thousands of battery swap stations across China. China is combating EV infrastructural issues like long wait times for charging and sparse chargers in rural areas with battery swapping.
In June 2023, Xin Guobin, the vice minister of the ministry, announced that China is going to push toward a universal standard of battery size, connection points, and protocols to facilitate the growth of battery swapping.
