An Infrastructure of battery swapping and charging stations in smart cities to "disrupt" the current ecosystem of battery usage: A schematic design

This article proposes a quintessential, down-To-earth schematic design of battery swapping and charging stations (BSCSs) typically in smart cities together with their necessary battery standardization, supportive information systems and data communication network for the implementation of a citywide and even worldwide infrastructure of BSCSs. At such BSCSs, users of mobile information communication technology (ICT) equipment like mobile phones, tablet computers, lap-Tops, etc. and electric vehicles can swap and trade their standardized battery modules whenever depleted for fully charged ones almost in no time virtually anytime and everywhere without ever worrying about battery depletion of the equipment and the extended time and specialized chargers for recharging. Harnessing earlier technologies of the author, this design could be a game-changer to "disrupt"the current battery usage ecosystem consisting of an excessively large number of, sometimes costly, infrastructures and chargers to recharge individuals' equipment, the cumbersome practice to recharge with specialized chargers at designated locations over extended time periods, and bulky secondary power banks being hand-carried. The key is that in this schema, disparity of battery modules' estimated remnant energy storage capacities can be offset by monetary payments.
