#Electric Vehicles 🚗⚡️and Battery Swapping 🔋↔️ 🔋 are very old Technologies. You may be surprised but as early as 1896, the Hartford Electric Light Company developed a #Battery supply and maintenance service for #EV of the General Vehicle Company (subsidiary of General Electric)
The concept was to buy your Electric Car 🚗⚡️without the Battery and then pay a monthly fee depending on mileage. This service was active from 1910 until 1924 and nearly 10 million km were covered before IC #Engine became the standard 🚙💨 thanks to their mileage autonomy and their reliability
Here below is a video 🎞 kindly sent to me by ESSA ALYAMI
It shows an EV 🚗⚡️ with a Battery Swap in 1943 in Spain 🇪🇸. When the taxi was low in Battery, it was fitted with a new fully recharged Battery. The swap was manually made by operators in only 5 minutes! 😳
Today Battery swapping is still a potential technology to help mobility such as the technology proposed by NIO 🇨🇳
How amazing! Isn’t it?
