Subject:Technologies increasing theendurance/autonomy of
BEVs(Battery Electric Vehicles).-Range extenders-Flow batteries
(redox batteriesas one variant)-Quick exchange of
batteriesMethod:Mapping the innovation:Enumerating the
influencing
factorsAssessing: In-depth research ofacceptance via MCDA
The variants:The range extenders and flow batteries still
needtechnological research clarifying the
operationalcharacteristics of an industrialised concept before
arobust assessment may be conducted.
The results:Battery Exchange BE will have much betteracceptance
by the environment relying on well knowntanking stops
BE battery vehicle interfaces - if generic - aremore complex
compared to the charginginterface
Dynamic: Technological Competitors (created byincentives) may
push viable alternativesrendering the BE business model
obsolete
