Mobile energy storage charging pile demonstration project

How does a mobile charging pile function?

A mobile charging pile works by being delivered by the service supplier to the user. Instead of the user traveling to a charging station, the charging station comes to the user. The time spent is from the point when the user places an order to the point when he/she receives the mobile charging pile.

Are mobile charging piles cost-effective?

Our model analyses show that under the condition of low utilization rate of fixed charging piles, mobile charging piles have a much lower levelized cost of electricity. Additionally, when land cost increases, mobile charging piles could become even more economically competitive.

How many EVS can a mobile charging pile charge?

A mobile charging pile can charge 2.5 EVs on stage I and 3 EVs on stage II every day. Assuming that a user charges their EV once every week, 8 stations in Xiamen can provide services to 2660 users on stage I and 9240 users on stage II.

Can mobile charging piles solve EV charging problems in urban areas?

Mobile charging piles may be a solution to the charging problem for EVs in urban areas, especially in crowded cities with large populations. Mobile charging is a novel EV charging system that consists of a smartphone APP, a data center, and a pile center.

Can electric vehicles be used as mobile energy storage?

(Image credit: Nio) Nio (NYSE: NIO) continues to explore the use of electric vehicles (EVs) as mobile energy storage by bringing a fleet of vehicle-to-grid (V2G) charging stations into service in Shanghai, where it has its global headquarters.

Can photovoltaic-energy storage-integrated charging stations improve green and low-carbon energy supply?

The results provide a reference for policymakers and charging facility operators. In this study, an evaluation framework for retrofitting traditional electric vehicle charging stations (EVCSs) into photovoltaic-energy storage-integrated charging stations (PV-ES-I CSs) to improve green and low-carbon energy supply systems is proposed.
