Experts Advocate Electric Cars for Women as Essential Second Vehicle, Like Marriage Commitment
CATL executive Shi Wei advocated for battery-swap capable EVs as second cars at the China Automotive Forum. He compared current battery ownership, which degrades irreplaceably with the car, to a marriage. Wei highlighted swapping’s ease, especially for groups like female drivers who avoid the physical hassle of charging. Swapping stations replace depleted batteries in minutes without manual handling. This enhances convenience for all secondary EV buyers, as CATL pushes adoption to alleviate range anxiety and reshape the market. CATL Service is the subsidiary driving these technology solutions.
