China's 100-Second EV Battery Swaps Are Here
Briefly

The article highlights the innovative advancements in electric vehicle (EV) battery swapping technology showcased at the Shanghai Auto Show. After testing Nio's battery swap station, which takes under four minutes, it was revealed that CATL has developed a system allowing swaps in just 100 seconds. The initial deployment includes 1,000 Changan Oshan 250 sedans for a taxi company, drastically reducing the time drivers spend parked. This technology promises to enhance efficiency for taxi and ride-hail drivers by minimizing downtime and improving the overall user experience in the EV ecosystem.
After experiencing Nio's approach, I was impressed; you park in a station and in about four minutes or less, you leave with a new battery and plenty of range.
The first 1,000 EV sedans with CATL's 'Choco-SEB' swappable battery have been delivered to a taxi company, enabling swaps in just 100 seconds.
