APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE BATTERY RESOURCE SHARING
A system and method for an electric vehicle (EV) battery resource sharing system is provided. One embodiment has a plurality of battery modules and a plurality of battery exchange facilities. Each different EV contains a battery swap cabinet that is configured to releasably secure at least one of the plurality of battery modules within the EV. A user of an EV, while at the battery exchange facility, exchanges a discharged first battery module for a second battery module that has been recharged. The battery exchange facility releases the recharged second battery module to the user after a payment has been made by the user. The battery exchange facility subsequently recharges the discharged first battery module after the user has placed the discharged first battery module into the battery exchange facility.
Portable energy-saving and environment-friendly electric vehicle
A portable energy-saving and environment-friendly electric vehicle is light in weight, small in volume, convenient in electricity charging, and can be disassembled for portability in a backpack. The backpack is further furnished with a crank-handle generator to enable manpower electricity generation and working out simultaneously. This energy-saving and environment-friendly electric vehicle is mainly comprised of two adjustable skateboards and a support rod for adjusting speed and connecting a battery set. The battery set can be conveniently replaced roadside or at other locations. In a situation of power loss, manpower can be used to charge the battery set. Thus, the situation of power loss fully disabling the electric vehicle can be met. In addition, the battery set associated with the generator is reliable for charging mobile phones and computers.
