Disclosed are a battery swapping station and a control method therefor. The battery swapping station comprises: a first charging compartment and a second charging compartment; a first battery swapping platform, and a control unit, the control unit being electrically connected to the first shuttle and to the second shuttle, used for controlling the first shuttle and the second shuttle to perform the following operation: when operating a same vehicle on the first battery swapping platform, if the first shuttle is executing either operation of battery unmounting or battery mounting, the second shuttle executes the other operation of battery unmounting or battery mounting. The battery swapping station and the control method therefor, by means of alternating operations of the first shuttle and the second shuttle, reduces the waiting time for vehicles when swapping batteries, thus increasing the battery swapping efficiency of the battery swapping station.

Provided is a battery swap type hybrid power vehicle (100). The hybrid power vehicle (100) comprises a range extending type driving system formed of a range extender (10) and a driving motor (31), and further comprises a quick-swap battery (20) which can be quickly disassembled and swapped in a battery swap station. The quick-swap battery (20) is connected to the driving motor (31) to form a battery swap type driving system. The battery swap type driving system and the range extending type driving system can be quickly switched and independently serve as a main power system. The range extending type driving system taking the range extender (10) as a power source and/or the battery swap type driving system taking the quick-swap battery (20) as the power source can be freely and flexibly switched according to a use scene and economy to drive the vehicle to travel.

A battery expansion cradle is attachable to an electric scooter (eScooter) handlebar. The battery expansion cradle includes a battery connection terminal disposed on a face of the battery expansion cradle, where the battery connection terminal electrically connects with a power bus of the electric scooter. A battery module is removably attachable to the face of the battery expansion cradle and the back terminal of another battery. The battery module includes a connector electrically coupling the first rechargeable battery to the eScooter power bus, and includes a mobile device holder disposed on a face of the first battery module with holding means for securing a mobile device to the face of the battery module, which may be offset from the center of the external battery to allow for a clear forward view of the scooter using the smartphone's front camera, and the user's face using the rear camera.
