Crucial Issues in Logistic Planning for Electric Vehicle Battery Application Service

Based on a brief introduction of typical battery features, several crucial issues in logistic planning for Electric Vehicle (EV) battery applications are discussed in this paper. The obvious issues include the access of battery charging stations, the accessibility of emergence swapping, and the monitoring of batteries at charging stations on network. Standardization of the battery and energy exchange technology would accelerate the popularity and market penetration of EVs. Some barriers to widespread EVs include issues related to battery recycling and environmental protection. Furthermore, training and certification are required to prepare the workforce for EV battery service. Finally a battery management information system is systematically a very important factor for supporting battery manufacturing, battery supply chains, battery charging services, battery swapping services, recycling regulations, safety of transportation, and insurance markets.
