At a battery exchange station a discharged battery is removed and a charged battery is inserted into an electric vehicle. The automated robotic system provides the charged battery to a battery exchange system which inserts the charged battery into the vehicle after it removes the discharged battery from the vehicle. The insertion and removal of the battery is done vertically, i.e., into and out of the bottom of the vehicle. The battery exchange system is located in a service bay under the vehicle. A sliding door (704) creates an opening above the service bay. The opening is of variable size depending on the size of the vehicle. |
