On April 18th, EVOGO battery swapping service was officially launched in Xiamen.
The rental price of the chocolate battery swapping block is the lowest, currently at a discounted price of 399 yuan/block, and the rental price will be dynamically adjusted according to users’ different usage conditions. The service price of the fast swapping station is equivalent to fast charging, and will be dynamically adjusted according to factors such as location and time period.
Through the City Partner Program, ATA subsidiary Time Electric Service has reached a comprehensive cooperation of mutual benefit with its partners in technology, resources, and services, jointly promoting the construction of Xiamen’s battery swapping network and the promotion of the little green environmental-friendly vehicles.
The first batch of 4 fast swapping stations that started the service are located in Siming District, Huli District, and Haicang District in Xiamen. It is expected that by the end of this year, 30 fast swapping stations will be built in Xiamen. By then, there will be one fast swapping station within every 3 kilometers on Xiamen Island.
On January 18th of this year, ATA subsidiary Time Electric Service held its first product launch online and released the battery swapping service brand EVOGO and the integrated battery swapping solution consisting of three products: “chocolate battery swapping block, fast swapping station, and APP”. At the same time, Chen Weifeng, general manager of Time Electric Service, stated that EVOGO battery swapping service will be launched first in 10 cities.
The battery swapping vehicles shown in the video, called “Little Green Family 001” by ATA, are FAW Besturn NAT (Next Automatic Taxi), a customized vehicle for the mobile transportation service market, similar to D1 model of Didi. Meanwhile, the members of “Little Green Family” 002 and 003 will be announced later.
Compared to NIO with higher bike prices, ATA said its battery swapping service is “economical and practical”. Currently, not all information of ATA’s battery swapping plan has been released, and further information is expected to be released later.
