Abstract: Abstract In China, energy-supplying industry has shown a trend of “charging as the mainstay, supplemented by battery swapping”. In this paper, we study and construct the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) model including capital cost, power battery rental cost, electricity cost, time cost, and maintenance cost. Taking the TCO model as a carrier, we quantitatively analyze the economics of fast charging mode and battery swapping mode in two application scenarios of taxis and private cars, study the impact of the battery swapping unit price on the economics of different modes for taxis and private cars, and discuss the critical price of the battery swapping unit price that is economical for battery swapping mode in different scenarios. We find that, compared with the fast charging mode, the battery swapping mode is more economical and has greater advantages for the taxis.
