Electric vehicle (EV) batteries are expensive and a major component of overall EV cost, as are conventional battery swapping solutions that require heavy robotics. Now you can swap out EV batteries yourself with portable, swappable SynCells SmartCells. They can be used in EVs and many other applications where power is needed.
SynCells SmartCells use a standardized cell format and framework that enables flexible battery capacity and/or hybrid power. Rent extra SmartCells for your EV when you need extra battery range for a long weekend trip, or purchase them through a subscription or ownership program. Now you or vehicle manufacturers won’t have to worry about expensive and complicated EV battery replacements every five to 10 years and can take advantage of battery technology improvements over the vehicle’s lifecycle. Alternatively, for long-range and heavy-duty vehicles, our fuel-cell based SmartCells deliver greater range through the use of conventional fuels such as CNG or propane today, or green hydrogen, ammonia and other such fuels in the future.
While SynCells has a long-range vision for EV energy integration, including AI-driven robotic mobile charger and cell swappers, there are more immediate issues to be addressed. Although it may be easy for home and building owners to install charging stations, they’re expensive. There are also limited options available for EV owners who park on the street and don’t have the option to leave their vehicle parked at a charging station for extended periods or overnight. For this reason, SynCells has developed a low-cost (10-20% of comparable solutions) charging solution using IoT components and managed through SynGrid. Easy to deploy and manage, it makes for a strategic solution that can meet the demand of accelerating EV adoption.
