The Malaysian Inexperienced Know-how and Local weather Change Company (MGTC) has commenced its electrical bike battery swapping techniques undertaking. Beginning tomorrow, December 10, 2024, the EV bike demonstration runs for a length of two months, till February 9, 2025.
This undertaking is aimed toward assessing the feasibility, advantages, and challenges of implementing battery swapping expertise to speed up the expansion of electrical bikes in Malaysia, based on the agency. The electrical bike battery swapping demonstration run will cowl the Klang Valley through the aforementioned length, and can interact medium- and excessive mileage bike customers.
A complete of 40 electrical bikes will probably be deployed for this objective, consisting of two fashions – the Blueshark R1 Lite, and the RydeEV Hyper, the tally consisting of an equal break up of 20 items of every mannequin. These have a spread of between 100 km to 110 km, and a most pace of between 80 km/h and 90 km/h.
This trial will probably be facilitated by the battery swapping networks of Blueshark and Oyika, for a complete of 29 EV bike battery swapping stations positioned at petrol stations, comfort shops and purchasing malls throughout the Klang Valley.
Individuals on this demonstration run are comprised of 5 organisations – Majlis Bandar Petaling Jaya (MBPJ), Zalora Malaysia, SPX Specific, Foodpanda and Ions Know-how. Among the many taking part organisations, the allocation is 5 items for MBPJ, three items for Ions Know-how, 10 items for SPX Specific, 10 items for Foodpanda and 12 items for Zalora.
Information gathering will probably be integral to the EV bike battery swapping trial, which is to accumulate data such because the vary coated by the electrical bikes per cost, speeds attained, in addition to battery efficiency parameters together with battery cost instances, and cost retention.
This may even assess the efficiency and feasibility of EV bike battery swapping infrastructure, for points resembling comfort, distance between battery swap stations, and whole battery swaps carried out throughout this trial.
Information logging from the EV bikes used on this trial will probably be via {hardware} and software program by Blueshark and RydeEV for his or her respective bikes, and information will probably be downloaded from every taking part machine on the finish of every month of the trial. Along with information logging, the trial may even compile suggestions from the EV bike customers on the finish of the programme.
Based on MGTC group CEO Shamsul Bahar Mohd Nor, electrical bikes, even with battery swapping providers, faces obstacles when it comes to rider acceptance as a consequence of restricted stations which limit entry and vary, and excessive preliminary infrastrcture prices for operators.
“In gentle of this, we created this demonstration to evaluate the viability, benefits, and difficulties of switching to electrical bikes in Malaysia. We consider technological and monetary feasibility, study shopper and market wants, and develop strategic options for long-term scalability,” Shamsul mentioned.
