Abstract
A method and system for mobile charging and exchange includes a vehicle having a vehicle storage space and a selectively removable charging bin mounted into the vehicle storage space. The selectively removable charging bin has one or more form fitted receptacle slots for receiving a battery device and each receptacle slot has a connection therein to a power source of the vehicle. A processor is operatively connected for computer communication to the vehicle and a user device using a server over a network. The processor receives an exchange request from the user device and calculates an exchange cost for the exchange request. The processor manages access to the vehicle storage space according to the exchange request and the exchange cost to allow removal of the battery device from the receptacle slot and insertion of a used user battery device into the receptacle slot.
