There is a new battery swap station in Tokyo that looks very similar to the one made by Gogoro. Electric motorcycle riders can flip their batteries for fresh ones without waiting for a charge, thanks to the new power pack exchanger.
The Honda power station is very similar to a vending machine with a grid of battery packs.
You can access fully charged batteries by interacting with the touchscreen, pulling one out, and popping in your discharged ones to charge up for use. IC cards are used to verify Honda's system. Higher-usage corridors in cities can be accommodated by the stations.
The first Honda Power Pack Exchanger e: station has been delivered to a joint venture between Japanese oil and energy company Eneos and motorcycle manufacturers. The city government of Tokyo supports Gachaco's goal of de-gasoline all new motorcycles by the year 2035.
Honda's Mobile Power Pack e: (MPP e:) comes with a capacity of 1,314Wh and takes about five hours to fully charge, which is in line with the standard recycling specification. The idea of using these racks to store energy during peak production times and discharge electricity back into the grid when demand spikes came from Eneos.
If the power goes out, a single charged sell can power the power pack exchanger station. The goal is to create a cabinet design that fades into the background of public spaces.
This idea has been pushed by Gogoro for years, now Honda and others are taking it on. The need for better energy consumption and distribution was obvious to the CEO of the company. The company has installed over 2,300 battery swap stations.
Honda set up a subsidiary in India to push electric bikes and rickshaws. Honda said it was investing $45 billion in research and development to make rockets, robots, and electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft.
