Evaluation and Selection of Battery Swap Operation Mode of New Energy Vehicles

Abstract

With the advantages of "vehicle-electricity separation", effectively shortening the replenishment time, relieving users' mileage anxiety, and facilitating the perfection of power battery recycling system, new energy vehicle battery swap has become an important research direction to respond to the government's "low carbon" policy and promote the development of new energy vehicle industry. In this paper, we analyze the differences in the supply chain structure of the three battery swap models led by car manufacturers, battery manufacturers and battery swap operators, and build models of battery swap operation under three different power structures based on the actual market situation. Using the combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE), we use the questionnaires and expert evaluation methods to evaluate and analyze the input and output of the battery swap enterprises, supply chain risk resilience and competitiveness of new energy vehicles under the three different supply chain structures. We compare and conclude that the battery swap model dominated by battery enterprises is generally better than the other two battery swap operation models, then we analyze and conclude the advantages of different operation modes in order to draw some management insights.
