IIA learned from Geely that the automaker and the Jinan Municipal People's Government have launched a comprehensive strategic cooperation, and smart power swapping stations have landed in Jinan. The battery change can be completed within 90 seconds, and the driver does not need to get out of the car to wait. Up to now, Geely Technology Group's smart swap stations have been gradually implemented in Chongqing, Hangzhou, Jinan, Zibo and other places, and more than 1,000 swap stations have been signed nationwide.

Geely has created the industry's first open power swap ecology that integrates research and development of power swap technology, manufacturing of swap cars and operation of power swap stations. Provide travel services for new energy vehicle manufacturers, battery suppliers, battery swap operators, travel service providers, and new energy vehicle owners. It is understood that Geely Technology Group's first smart swap station in Jinan is located in the Jinan Convention and Exhibition Center. It covers an area of about 126 square meters and has 39 built-in charging bays. Vehicles can be exchanged at high speeds in the station. A single station can serve nearly 1,000 vehicles per day.

After the switch station automatically recognizes the vehicle information, the vehicle enters the switch station and performs a self-check to confirm that the high-voltage circuit of the battery pack has been disconnected. After the vehicle is automatically adjusted to a horizontally centered position, the lifting arm lifts the vehicle, and the battery replacement robot starts the battery replacement action. At this time, a robot enters under the vehicle from one side, unlocks the battery pack, and removes the depleted battery. Another robot moves the fully charged battery under the car, lifts the battery and locks it. After the vehicle is seated, it will perform a self-check and drive out of the swap station to settle the order. The battery change can be completed within 90 seconds, and the driver does not need to get out of the car to wait.
