Origem electric motorcycle battery swap idea
« on: July 27, 2021, 08:22:30 AM »
This looks like an interesting concept for swapping electric motorcycle batteries by a company in Brazil. They appear to have their battery swap station located in front of an existing gas station, which is likely a more secure and convenient location than something just sitting along side of a roadway:

This is similar to what they have in Asia Gogoro.  They have the stations at convenient location and you just swap the batteries.  I believe there was a group of manufacturers trying establish a battery standard for modular batteries.  It all comes down to infrastructure.  But hey if they partner with 711 and have these at all their stores I think it would work.  200,000 swaps!  America is so slow to catch onto the modular batteries unfortunately or any kind of change for that matter.  The world is leaving us behind.
