31�2�1 Description

The new infrastructure of smart city energy networks based on big data of lithium batteries
utilizes AIoT (Artificial Intelligence of Things) technology to achieve functions such as active
battery balancing, efficient battery endurance, energy consumption management, fault
diagnosis, and fault-tolerant control, ensuring battery safety and endurance. Building a city-
wide battery swapping network changes the consumption mode of instant delivery through
technological innovation, realizing a mode of swap instead of charge, thereby improving energy
supply efficiency by separating vehicle and battery. It addresses the sustainable development
issues of safety, efficiency, and environmental friendliness in the social consumption and service
sectors of new energy low-speed vehicles, promoting the intelligence and digitization of the
entire industry and significantly enhancing social and economic benefits, providing innovative
solutions for smart energy consumption for 35 million low-speed vehicles in China.

However, the current new infrastructure system of smart city energy networks may face some
challenges. For example, establishing, maintaining, and popularizing extensive battery
swapping networks require substantial financial investment and policy support. At the same
time, it is also necessary to establish a unified battery swapping standard system to promote
the healthy, orderly, and sustainable development of the industry.

The widespread distribution of electric bicycle battery swapping networks enables urban
electric bicycle users to find stations for battery swapping within a few kilometers, ensuring
access to clean and affordable electricity and reducing the cost of charging and purchasing
batteries by approximately 3000 yuan per person. The primary users of the battery swapping
network are urban delivery riders. Our data shows that the battery swapping network increases
the daily delivery volume of riders by approximately 40%, reducing ineffective mileage spent on
charging routes by about 6 km per person per day. This promotes sustainable digital economic
growth and can annually reduce carbon emissions from ineffective mileage by nearly 6000 tons.
The battery swapping network not only contributes to achieving urban dual carbon reduction
goals and shared prosperity for delivery riders but also facilitates convenient battery swapping
for the vast urban mobile population of electric vehicle users, eliminating power loss and safety
hazards associated with charging. This establishes a safe, disaster-resistant, and sustainable
smart city.
