1. Renault & Better Place Battery Bay History

� By switching the battery of the electric vehicle, its range can be extended.

� A switchable battery pack is a battery pack that can be easily installed and removed into and out of the electric vehicle.

� The battery bay is a set of interfaces between an electric vehicle (EV) and a switchable battery pack.

Two battery bay alternatives exist today:

� 1st Commercial Generation of the Fluence Z.E. (Renault).

� Better Place alternative Battery Bay concept

WHY A BATTERY QUICK EXCHANGE SYSTEM? => QUICK DROP

WHY A BATTERY QUICK EXCHANGE SYSTEM? => QUICK DROPWHY A BATTERY QUICK EXCHANGE SYSTEM? => QUICK DROP

The « conventional » by wire EV charging systems could appear long in some customer usage situations (6 to 8 hours for standard charging and 20 to 30 minutes for fast charging)

The QUICK-DROP system allows switching a discharged battery by a fully charged one in less than 5 minutes. The customer will start up again with 100% Autonomy Capability.

To reduce Range Anxiety => Similar to a Conventional Gas Station.

…. Clean, Simple, Fast and Without Constraints.

4 - EASYBAT Project

EASYBAT’s main mission is to address battery integration challenges by defining new concepts for the smart insertion of batteries and by developing in particular generic interfaces for electric vehicles.

This research project aims at enabling smooth batteries integration and swap.

The EASYBAT integration system will be developed for fully electric vehicles.

EASYBAT will develop :

• Generic interfaces to improve interoperability between the battery system modulesand the vehicle on board-systems • New components for an easy & safe location and quick integration of the battery in the vehicle. • At each stage of the project, the EASYBAT partners will assess the feasibility ofthe overall battery swapping concept considering costs, logistics, and environmental aspects.
