Abstract
This paper presents a novel approach for providing a mobile battery swapping service for electric vehicles (EVs) that is provided by a mobile battery swapping van. This battery swapping van can carry many fully charged batteries and drive up to an EV to swap a battery within a few minutes. First, a reasonable EV battery swapping architecture based on a battery swapping van is established in this paper. The function and role of each participant and the relationships between each participant are determined, especially their changes compared with the battery charging service. Second, the battery swapping service is described, including the service request priority and service request queuing model. To provide the battery swapping service efficiently and effectively, the battery swapping service request scheduling is analyzed well, and a minimum waiting time based on priority and satisfaction scheduling strategy (MWT-PS) is proposed. Finally, the battery swapping service is simulated, and the performance of MWT-PS is evaluated in simulation scenarios. The simulation results show that this novel approach can be used as a reference for a future system that provides reasonable and satisfying battery swapping service for EVs.
Highlights
In recent years, due to the increasingly significant shortage of non-renewable resources, such as oil and coal, excessive consumption, and the consequent environment pollution, electric vehicles (EVs) have gradually drawn people’s attention and become favored as a type of clean energy vehicle [1]
EV battery swapping architecture based on a battery swapping van For the effective and efficient operation of an EV battery swapping service based on a battery swapping van, a reasonable EV battery swapping architecture needs to solve the specific process of battery production, charging, transportation, storage, swapping, communication and others and identify the specific functions of each participant of the entire EV battery swapping system and the relationship between them

Summary
Due to the increasingly significant shortage of non-renewable resources, such as oil and coal, excessive consumption, and the consequent environment pollution, electric vehicles (EVs) have gradually drawn people’s attention and become favored as a type of clean energy vehicle [1]. The battery swapping location can be generated based on the specific battery swapping service scheduling strategy or the driver’s actual requirements. EV battery swapping architecture based on a battery swapping van For the effective and efficient operation of an EV battery swapping service based on a battery swapping van, a reasonable EV battery swapping architecture needs to solve the specific process of battery production, charging, transportation, storage, swapping, communication and others and identify the specific functions of each participant of the entire EV battery swapping system and the relationship between them. To improve the efficiency and effectiveness of battery swapping service, battery swapping requests need to be distinguished and scheduled based on the advanced management system.
