NIO's concept of battery swapping is the most logical and most efficient. IF there was agreement amongst all the EV producers to standardise battery dimensions, implementing battery swapping stations would increase EV's sales exponentially.
Agreed. Regardless of brand they could all have swapping stations at dealerships and service centres in addition to chargers. EV manufactures should also simplify the driving experience. Technology wise, they are throwing everything bar the kitchen sink into new vehicles. It's tech overload. A medium sized, simple to drive, vehicle with a swap-able battery would be perfect.
@@loungelizard836 Good question. I don’t know for sure. Regardless, Waymo is light years ahead of Tesla with respect to “true” self-driving cars/taxis. If you look at a photo of a Waymo car, it has censors all over. Any car manufacturer that wants to produce self-driving vehicles will have to redesign their cars to accommodate all censors necessary for all weather conditions.
Autonomy will change the world for the better. Scrolling through the videos made by this channel I didn't see any relating to the autonomy leader Tesla
When you pay with Bitcoin, the Transportation company receives the funds instantly. With Mastercard, it takes 1 day. With Bitcoin (on lightning) the cost is $0.01. With Mastercard the cost is $0.30 +2.95%. Credit Card companies often have transaction errors and occasional down-time. For 15 years Bitcoin has never been down, and never had an error. If you want frictionless acceleration of payment adoption is Bitcoin is the solution.
love the words, lifestyle.. user.... just wait, you wont own your ev soon enough and you will be happy. EV's resale value craters over time, wonder what it will be like when you have to sell it. "Yes you are buying the car but not the battery and you will have to rent it." LOL
This is very interesting for NIO to do this as Tesla actually made a robotic machine to swap battery in their cars about 10 years ago but for some reason they did not pursue it, not sure why, possibly not economics for them or unable to manufacture all the extra batteries, I wonder if tesla made a mistake.
Nio in a nutshell: It's a global company; European design American brain China Body Vision: Shape a joyful lifestyle experience for users, and become a community in which a multitude of products service that vision. -CEO
A solution for a problem that doesn't exist anymore. I only use Superchargers for road trips and I haven't spent more than 20 minutes at a Supercharger. Barely enough time for a bathroom break, get a snack, and stretch a little. Seemed like 5 minutes. But for my daily drive, I charge in my garage. Superchargers are very cheap to install and there are 21,000 in the US and growing at 4000/yr.
No. Superchargers are expensive equipment to purchase and install. Getting them connected to the grid is also an issue. Combating demand charges also makes them expensive.
@@callistoscali4344 A Supercharger costs about $50,000 to install. Very cheap. And there are 351 charging stations with 2400 Superchargers that are permitting just in the US right now. That's not counting the Supercharging cites that are already under construction. Tesla's having no significant problems getting cites for their Supercharging stations. Stop spreading fake news.
@@callistoscali4344 From Electrek; ... "Back in 2016, when Tesla was still sharing its asset value of the Supercharger network, the automaker was talking about a value of $285,300 per station or $49,000 per charger" ,.... But whatever the price is, Tesla's having no significant problems throwing up Superchargers. They're everywhere, and growing. I've given you the numbers, like 21,000 SCs in the US. ..... ----> AND the Supercharger system has become profitable too!!!
50k for a Chinese car swop to someone else’s battery cheaper than charging 15 minutes. ?after sitting in a car for six hours how important is swopping, imagine the infrastructure, battery houses like gas stations with batteries underground above ground by thousands with hundreds of batteries thousands of them . Doesn’t a cord on a post for 15 minutes seem like comon sense
Most pollution happens in poor and developing countries where electricity is scarce and black outs are common. About 4 Billion people live in these countries. Electric cars will never be successful there as there is no continuous 24 hour electricity supply. That is why electric cars will fail as a whole. As a niche they will always have a place.
I like the fact that you can swap the battery easily. That's as it should be. It's not a major drama to get a new battery for your phone, why should your car be any different.
That would mean a design standard for EVERY cars/trucks/buses etc. And the myriad styles and shapes of these vehicles. I seriously doubt the car companies would agree. Further, try finding a battery changer out the back of Woop Woop
@@RUHappyATM To some extent true. Actually the issue that's been highlighted about battery swapping is the integration of the BMS and the cooling system. That would require a uniform code for all vehicles using the particular swap, though I suppose this is no different to the analogy of finding the right battery for your phone. Still, a lot trickier for a car. That said, within one model it should be a lot LOT easier than it currently is - and a LOT cheaper - to swap your old battery for a new one. I'm thinking of the recent Hyundai story.
NIO Battery Swapp. No Battery Issues. NIO Battery Swapp for Energy Storage. NIO Battery Swapp Stations connected to Solarparks alongside the Highways. I wait for NIO SwapNGo Stations in the EU.
Nio first to deploy latest and greatest 650 mile semi solid state battery. 4 plus generation of lithium, thus cycles and life is not a concern as it's a swapped out business model. Newer tech batteries can be adopted transparently, thus future proof.
European brains, American innovation, Chinese body.... Lol. Let me correct this its Chinese Brains, Chinese innovation and Chinese body.. pretending otherwise to alleviate buyer concerns
Huge difference. Mark is an entrepreneur.. He has vision.. Look what he's done with meta. This guy is a generic administrator. Today ev, tomorrow pharmacy.. Day after something else. No vision.. Just working out a good parachute for self.
ALL this EV garbage ONLY makes corrupt politicians richer. Never mind all the families and children that suffer/die mining the material they need for all the EV trash. Similar to how we suffer for "green energy", while China is building 3 coal factories a month as fast as possible.
