Piaggio Launches Electric Ape With Battery Swap Tech
It’s officially being called the Piaggio Ape (that’s “app-eh,” not “ape”) E-City, and will feature a long flat battery mounted low in the chassis. That design will help the three-wheeler to maximize interior cargo volume while also aiding in dynamic handling. That’s because the heavy battery will help naturally lower the E-City’s center of gravity.
Hot swapping is nothing new in the EV world, but the lack of standardization has proven to be a real roadblock. However, a recent launch by Piaggio, dubbed the "Electric Ape" (pronounced "App-eh"), is a motorickshaw that has seemingly mastered the concept of hot swapping.
