Tesla has shown an automated system for changing batteries of electric cars

The system will remove the battery, charge it and return to the place of or replaced. Such a service is unlikely to be useful to owners of passenger electric vehicles that can use the charging stations Supercharger, but for the future drivers of trucks and buses Tesla service will be useful.


The company Elon musk has filed a patent for a system replacement battery in 2014, but only now has submitted technical drawings of the development. While Tesla temporarily pushed this project on the back burner, as the team is now on creating the infrastructure for electric cars is preparing the release of an updated charging stations Supercharger — they must be deployed simultaneously with the start of production of the Model 3.

Initially the battery replacement was supposed to take 90 seconds. But, according to the documents, the installation of the battery will require 15 minutes, and the process is fully automated. The service centre will assess the condition of the car, only this will be followed by the reinstallation.

 


The image shows the platform with the car, which is equipped for the collection of a battery. The system raises the car and with the help of special clamps and wrenches remove the battery, and then removes it under the platform for further recharging. In reverse order, the device performs the same actions. Automated battery replacement loses the Supercharger stations for ease of use and low cost of operation, noted by Electrek. However, the development can be used for replacement of batteries in large transport, for example, electrographical and buses, which Tesla plans to release in the coming years.
