Firstly, the current price of most brands' electric cabinet replacement packages is not cheap. Among them, the monthly package for brands such as iron tower battery swapping and Lithium Battery swapping is 300 yuan, with no limit on the number of charging and swapping times; E Bike exchange is divided into a deposit and a package, with a single battery deposit of 500, a dual battery deposit of 1000, and a monthly rental package of 68 yuan for 20 battery exchanges and 128 yuan for 30 battery exchanges; In addition to the 299 yuan unlimited battery change package per month, Xiaoha also launched a 99 yuan 20 battery change package. From the price point of view, the price of almost all Almost all of power exchange cabinets is still not as cost-effective as that of Charging station for some citizens.
Of course, brand merchants can also attract users by lowering prices and launching more price competitive packages. However, it should be noted that taking 30 benchmark power exchange brands as an example, at this critical moment of competing for market share, if a brand lowers its price, it may greatly trigger a collective price reduction of competitors, forcing the industry into a vicious cycle of price wars.
At least in the present, this is not what most brands are willing to see. The reason is very simple. The power exchange mode belongs to the investment of heavy assets. At present, most properties charge the electricity price and site rent according to the commercial mode, which makes the operating cost of the point much higher than the depreciation cost. The operating enterprises set high prices to maintain balance, resulting in limited acceptance by residents.
Secondly, the Electric Bike Battery swapping industry adopts a standardized lithium battery module+battery swapping cabinet+mobile app+remote data platform model for battery swapping. The high initial construction cost also affects the popularity of battery swapping cabinets to some extent.
In addition, most Electric Bicycle models are not unified, and the standardization of batteries is low.
