I hope "portable" means you carry the three additional batteries with you so you don't have to go home every time you need a swap.
It will be interesting to see what the real-world solar range is here in Florida with clouds, trees, and garages. |
You need to go home unless your spouse has a mobile Squad battery charging station.
Swappable Batteries
Keeping the fleet charged is a large operating expense for EV sharing platforms . Automatic solar charging offers a daily decrease of these costs and this will improve with advancing technology in the years to come, both solar PV, battery and powertrain efficiency.
Squad supports the solar charging with a swappable battery system where fleet owners and managers can quickly swap batteries with the help of the mobile or stationary Squad battery charging station.
Ultimately, the Squad can also be charged directly from the grid or charging infrastructure.
