On January 18, Times Electric Service held its first press conference online to release the overall solution of EVOGO, a power exchange service brand, and a combined power exchange. Times Electric Service is a wholly-owned subsidiary of CATL, which is committed to providing users with convenient and reliable mobile power solutions and services. The overall solution of combined power exchange is composed of three major products: "power exchange block, quick change station and APP". At the same time, Chen Weifeng, general manager of Times Electric Service, said that the EVOGO power exchange service will be launched in the first batch of 10 cities.
The combined power exchange overall solution provides new ideas for the market
At present, the new energy automobile industry has entered a new stage of explosive growth. In December 2021, the domestic retail penetration rate of new energy vehicles was 22.6%, and the products became more abundant and the services became more diversified. However, mileage anxiety, replenishment anxiety and purchase costs have always plagued new energy vehicle consumers.
In view of the pain points of consumers, Times Electric Service Innovation launched a combination of three major products of "power exchange block, quick change station, APP" overall solution and service, in the mode of vehicle and electricity separation, the battery is independent as a shared asset, bringing a new experience to the market.
"Chocolate battery changer" is a mass-produced battery specially developed for the realization of shared power exchange, with three characteristics: small and high energy, free combination and minimalist design. Using the latest CTP technology of the Ningde era, the weight energy density of the "chocolate exchange block" exceeds 160Wh/kg, the volume energy density exceeds 325Wh/L, and a single battery can provide an endurance of about 200 kilometers, and can adapt to the pure electric platform developed by 80% of the world's 80% that have been listed and will be listed in the next 3 years. Consumers can choose one or more batteries at will when changing the power, flexibly matching the needs of different mileages. In addition, the "chocolate changer block" adopts wireless BMS technology, and only has a high-voltage positive and negative interface on the outside, which greatly improves the reliability of the plugged and unplugged components.
The express change station has four characteristics: small area, fast circulation, large capacity and full climate. Each standard station only needs three parking spaces, a single block to change power for about 1 minute, the station can store 48 power exchange blocks, to ensure that users always have a full power block can be replaced, no need to wait for a long time. At the same time, the substation can also be provided with versions adapted to the climatic and environmental conditions of different regions.
App undertakes the role of a link between different modules and consumers, providing interconnection and service between people, vehicles, stations and blocks. In the future, more and more functional modules will serve consumers through APP.
One electricity and multiple vehicles, on-demand rental electricity, rechargeable and exchangeable
Based on the innovative combination of power exchange overall solutions, Times Electric Service has created a new service brand of EVOGO, and given it three major characteristics: one electricity multi-vehicle, on-demand rental electricity, and rechargeable and replaceable.
Different from the traditional power exchange mode, EVOGO realizes two "one power and multiple vehicles" full adaptation scenarios. The "Chocolate Bar" can be applied to passenger cars from A00 to B and C and logistics vehicles. The substation can be adapted to the use of "chocolate power exchange block" of various brand models, breaking through the adaptation barrier between the battery and the model, and realizing the freedom of choice of the power exchange model.
Consumers can "rent electricity on demand" and freely choose the number of rented replacement blocks according to their own usage scenarios and habits. At present, most private car owners will only use 10-20% of the battery power in the daily use scenario, but in order to alleviate the mileage anxiety and energy replenishment anxiety, they have to buy large-power models and pay a lot of sunk costs. With "rent electricity on demand," consumers commute around the city on a daily basis and only need to rent one block. If you want to travel long distances, you can choose two or three electric blocks, which can really increase or decrease, and realize the freedom of electricity.
At the same time, the EVOGO combination power exchange solution can be charged and replaced, and together with the existing home charge and fast charge, it constitutes a full-scenario energy replenishment method, bringing freedom to recharge.
1 City Launcher Opens the Era of Energy Freedom
It is the vision of NINGDE era to build a world-class innovative technology company and make outstanding contributions to the cause of new energy for mankind. The establishment of Times Electric Service marks the completion of the closed loop of the whole life cycle value chain of batteries from research and development, manufacturing, use and recycling, providing a more free use experience for new energy vehicle consumers, which will promote the intensive and efficient use of social resources and accelerate the popularization of electrification.
At the press conference, the "Little Green Ring Family" member of EVOGO 001, FAW Besturn NAT Combination Power Exchange Edition, was announced. In the future, EVOGO will select the first ten cities to start the power exchange service, and release more brands of power exchange models. We sincerely invite more partners to join the "Little Green Ring Family" to build a new ecology of energy freedom and enjoy free new travel.
