The expansion of battery capacity and its safety is a crucial parameter governing the traction of the market. However, electric motorcycle batteries encounter issues such as catching fires, temperature vulnerability, battery weight, size, and running cost which hinder the market growth The OEMs have developed their batteries with improved power output to address these problems. For instance, in November 2021, Zero Motorcycles, Inc. introduced its new battery pack made of polycarbonate and die-cast aluminum. The lithium ion-based battery contains 56 cells, increasing the battery capacity and improving cell chemistry.
Thelithium-ion batteriesby Zero Motorcycles Inc. have undergone significant advancements. Zero Motorcycles Inc. has increased the energy density of its batteries by up to 20%. These upgraded power packs are available in two standard capacities of 15.6 and 14.4 kWh owing to major battery design and construction advancements. The pack size plus symbol denotes options for further capacity increases of up to 17.3 kWh. The SR/S and SR/F, premium street vehicles, are equipped with a larger 15.6+ kWh battery arrangement, while the ordinary SR/S and SR/F will have a 14.4+ kWh battery configuration. The increase in battery capacity owing to the upgrades coupled with the use of a power tank enables the battery to produce and store over 21 kWh of energy. The maximization of battery capacity prompts the rider to leverage an increased vehicle range of 227 miles (365 km) and an accelerated range of 113 miles (182 km) at 70 mph. and performance. Moreover, this development also created avenues for accelerating the adoption of electric motorcycles, thus supporting market growth.
The absence of charging infrastructure is one of the main obstacles to the electric motorcycle industry expansion. Unlike developed nations, most emerging nations lack the requisite charging infrastructure. Solutions for the infrastructure of charging are provided by manufacturers everywhere. For instance, ChargePoint (U.S.) develops and manufactures the hardware for the charging stations and the power management software for amobile applicationfor the charging network. Moreover, ChargePoint offers demand-based charging stations for every type ofelectric vehicle。类似的选择是provi收费选项ded by ONEX Commercial (Taiwan), including standard, quick, and battery swapping.
