Abstract
The rapid global transition towards electric vehicles (EVs) is significantly hampered by persistent challenges related to charging infrastructure accessibility, prolonged charging times, and prevailing range anxiety among potential adopters. This paper proposes and investigates a novel dualbattery system for electric vehicles, designed to proactively address these critical barriers. The core concept involves the dynamic utilization of two independent battery packs: one actively powering the vehicle, while the other simultaneously undergoes charging (either from an external source or potentially from onboard regenerationminor internal generation, if feasible and efficient). This innovative approach aims to fundamentally redefine the user experience by mitigating the need for frequent and inconvenient stops at charging stations, effectively providing an "always-on" power solution. This study explores the technical feasibility, operational benefits, and potential challenges of implementing such a system. Key aspects examined include the design of a sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS) for seamless power switching, the implications of increased vehicle weight and complexity, and the economic viability compared to conventional single-battery EV designs and emerging ultra-fast charging networks. Through theoretical analysis and conceptual system architecture, this research postulates that a dual-battery swappable or dynamically charged system could significantly enhance EV adoption rates by offering unparalleled convenience, eliminating range anxiety, and decentralizing the charging process. The findings suggest that while challenges related to cost, weight, and system integration exist, the long-term benefits in terms of user satisfaction and infrastructure independence warrant further in-depth research and development. This paper aims to provide a foundational understanding of this promising solution, paving the way for more practical and consumer-friendly electric mobility.
