Wrote some more self indulgent shit today. Cried about how freeing it was to live through these characters when I can't be this strong or brave IRL. It's helping me stay emotionally regulated, better than screaming it out at work ever did. (Then again, that was the old job. This one's different.) It helps.

Is investing in battery swapping cabinets a lucrative party or a loss-making mire?

With the booming development of the new energy vehicle market, battery swapping cabinets, a crucial solution to electric vehicle range anxiety, have gradually caught investors' attention.

In recent years, multiple cities across the globe have piloted battery swapping cabinet projects to address the inconvenience of charging electric vehicles. Visionary investors have recognized the huge potential of this market and have poured significant funds into the construction of battery swapping cabinets. According to industry reports, the market size for battery swapping cabinets is rapidly expanding and is expected to continue growing rapidly in the coming years.

Meanwhile, the penetration rate of battery swapping in the global delivery market has also shown a positive growth trend. Data indicates that the penetration rate has reached approximately 20%, a figure that has been steadily climbing over the past few years.

ake the express delivery industry as an example:

Each deliveryman needs at least two batteries (including the original battery on the vehicle) daily to ensure the normal operation of their electric vehicle. Assuming that a battery swapping cabinet can provide battery replacement services for 60 deliverymen per day, based on the total number of 3 million delivery workers, the theoretical number of battery swapping cabinets needed would reach 50,000.

In the field of food delivery:

Delivery riders need to replace their batteries even more frequently. Assuming that a battery swapping cabinet can serve 30 delivery riders daily, based on the total number of 3.1 million delivery riders using electric vehicles, the theoretical number of battery swapping cabinets needed would reach approximately 100,000.

However, the profitability of battery swapping cabinet projects does not solely depend on market demand and the number of cabinets. Operating costs are also a crucial factor.

To analyze the operating costs of a battery swapping cabinet, we can consider battery loss and electricity fees.

Firstly, battery loss is an inevitable cost in operating battery swapping cabinets. Most lithium batteries have a designed lifespan of around 1,000 charges. Assuming delivery riders replace their batteries twice a day, the lifespan of a shared battery is approximately one year. If a battery swapping cabinet is equipped with 12 batteries, and each battery costs 800 yuan (considering factors like online prices and battery deposits charged by operators), the annual battery cost for a cabinet would be 9,600 yuan.

Secondly, electricity fees are also a significant cost in operating battery swapping cabinets. Observing a "Knight Battery Swap" station in Shenzhen, we found that a cabinet can serve 20 delivery riders during peak hours. Assuming an average of 30 riders are served throughout the day, and each rider replaces their battery twice, the total number of batteries needed daily would be 60. Considering the time and electricity required to fully charge each battery, we can calculate the daily electricity cost for the cabinet.

Despite these costs, battery swapping cabinet projects still have profit potential. According to industry data, the annual revenue of operating a battery swapping cabinet

can reach 14,400 yuan. This means that after deducting costs like battery loss and electricity fees, the project can still achieve considerable profits.

However, investors need to conduct thorough market research and risk assessments before deciding to invest in battery swapping cabinet projects. Understanding the local ownership of electric vehicles, the demand for battery swapping, and the competition landscape are crucial for formulating investment strategies. Additionally, factors like location selection, controlling operating costs, and optimizing operational processes are key to the success of the project.

Looking ahead, with the further increase in the penetration rate of battery swapping in the global delivery market and the continuous development of the express delivery industry, the prospects for battery swapping cabinet projects will be even broader.

The water and fire protection electrical cabinet on the Hexup made its debut at the Nanjing exhibition. It is equipped with a 50 liter high-capacity fire water tank inside the cabinet, which is connected to a circulating water system leading to each battery compartment. At the same time, a dual spray safety scheme is designed in each battery compartment to ensure that temperature sensing faults in the compartment cannot be automatically detected. In the event of triggering a spray, manual intervention can also be made in the background to actively open the water injection system. Under normal circumstances, when the temperature in the compartment reaches the set high temperature warning value, the entire machine will automatically cut off power, and a backup power supply will be used to supply power to the fire protection system. The continuous water injection and cooling of the thermal runaway compartment can be carried out. At the same time, the high sealing of the compartment can ensure that the battery is immersed in a high water level. There are inlet and outlet ports in the compartment, and the water injection system can be cyclically repeated from the outlet after reaching the high water level. Overflow until the battery temperature drops to normal. Daily maintenance only requires discharging sewage and filling the water tank after a thermal runaway accident is triggered, which is worry free and effortless.
