Consolidated multidimensional list of needs towards market deployment. D4.1

The European Green Deal set ambitious targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. In particular, the transport sector has a key role to play in achieving these targets. Swappable battery systems for light vehicles (L-Cat) offer a promising approach to overcoming challenges for battery-electric vehicles such as range anxiety. At the same time, it provides attractive business models for different user groups and user behaviour. The swappable system enables a quick and efficient swapping of empty batteries at corresponding charging stations and can thus accelerate the electrification of L-Cat vehicles. This report identifies needs associated with the implementation of swappable battery systems. To this end, a list of needs was created that is relevant for the most important stakeholders for market deployment - vehicle manufacturers (OEM), infrastructure providers, end users and battery manufacturers. Each of these players have individual needs that must be considered for the successful development of a coherent and efficient battery swapping system.
