Abstract

Disclosed is a cloud storage-based battery swap system for an electric vehicle, which is intended to solve the problems of the existing electric vehicles, such as inconvenient use of an energy supply system, and excessive individual difference and excessive cost of a battery pack. The system comprises: a battery pack information storage apparatus for storing battery pack information of an electric vehicle; a battery pack allocation station for storing battery packs and charging the battery packs; and a battery swap station for replacing a battery pack for the electric vehicle, and communicating with the battery pack information storage apparatus to transmit the battery pack information to the battery pack information storage apparatus. In addition, a battery management system for the battery pack is disposed on the electric vehicle outside the battery pack. Also disclosed is a method for the system. The system and the method not only make the energy supply of the electric vehicle more convenient, but also reduce the battery pack supply cost, thereby making the large-scale construction of battery swap stations become possible.
