Abstract

Extending the driving range of the electric scooter relative to the driving range of the gas-powered motorcycle is an issue that could be solved in two ways. Both the battery swapping system and the automatically charging public car-sharing system are believed to be the best solutions in the near future. These two systems require establishing a common standard of interface communication protocol for the electric scooter manufacturers. Using swappable lithium-ion batteries by different makers can service either system equally well. As wider acceptance of the electric scooter grows over time, it will provide the boost needed for the burgeoning future sales of electric scooters in Taiwan.
