All you need to know if you are searching for bike rentals in Bhubaneshwar.
At Let’s driEV, we understand that the battery is the heart of an electric scooter/motorcycle. It’s not just about power; it’s about the careful balance of energy density, weight, cost, and space. While there is uncertainty around the use of electric scooters just because of the news that pop up on our feeds about the inefficiency of these two-wheelers, let us get to know better why Let’s driEV claims that our fleet will never fail you!
Here’s a deep dive into understanding how our meticulous battery selection process is done to ensure your journey is safe with us!
Understanding Electric Scooter’s Requirements
The first step in our process of battery selection is understanding the specific requirements of the electric vehicle. As we focus on building better ways of urban commute, this includes factors like the vehicle’s size, weight, intended use, and required range when customers ride them for their daily needs. These factors help us determine the necessary battery capacity for various models that we offer in our fleet.
Evaluating Battery Types
There are several types of batteries available in the market, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. We evaluate various types such as Lithium-ion, Nickel-Metal Hydride, and Solid-State batteries. You can deep-dive into the types of batteries from our latest blog here. Our focus is on finding a battery that offers a high energy density, long lifespan, and excellent safety features, therefore ensuring the quality of the ride is never compromised.
Assessing Battery Manufacturers
We carefully assess various battery manufacturers based on their reputation, manufacturing practices, and the quality of their products. We also consider their commitment to sustainability and ethical sourcing of materials.
Energy Storage Capacity
We consider the energy storage per Kg/L of the battery material. This helps us understand how much power the battery can store for its weight and size, which is crucial for our compact electric scooters.
Power Requirements
The power requirement of the vehicle model is a significant factor. We calculate how much power is needed to drive a particular model of our electric scooter and select a battery that can efficiently meet this requirement.
Energy Density vs. Weight
A battery might be good at energy storage, but if it’s heavy, it will consume more energy to carry its own weight, making the vehicle less efficient. We strive to find a balance between energy density and the weight of the battery.
Cost-effectiveness
We choose economically feasible yet efficient batteries. This approach allows us to offer affordable pricing models, making our electric scooters an excellent choice for students.
Battery Types
At Let’s driEV, we primarily use Lithium-ion and Lithium-ion phosphate batteries. These batteries offer a good balance between energy density, weight, cost, and lifespan.
Cell Quality
Cells are the brains of a battery. We ensure the cells are of good quality. For instance, we consider NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) composition. If NMC is 811 (80% Nickel, 10% Manganese, and 10% Cobalt), then it’s considered good.
Customization
We can customize the brain of the battery according to our requirements. This flexibility allows us to optimize the performance of our electric scooters.
Charging Cycles
While some batteries provide 3000-4000 charging cycles, our batteries provide 1200+ cycles. This balance ensures customer safety and affordability without compromising the lifespan of our scooters.
Safety Checks
We also check for batteries’ inner thermal management and the outer case for safety. These checks are crucial to prevent incidents like battery fires.
In conclusion, at Let’s driEV, we believe that the careful selection of batteries is crucial to delivering high-quality, efficient, and reliable electric scooters. We are committed to this meticulous process to ensure that every Let’s driEV scooter is powered by the best possible battery when you rent bike in Bhubaneshwar.
