Honda recently delivered a new battery swap station in Tokyo that remarkably resembles the one produced by Gogoro.  With the help of the automaker's new power pack exchanger, users of electric motorcycles can quickly swap out their worn-out batteries for new ones without having to wait for a charge. The Honda power plant resembles a vending machine with a grid of battery packs that slide in and out of slots, very much like Gogoro's. By interacting with the touchscreen, you may access fully charged batteries, pull one out, and insert your drained ones to recharge for the following passenger.  Honda battery swap station Customers that join up receive IC cards, which are used to authenticate users on the Honda system. Additionally, the stations can be enlarged to meet urban routes with increased traffic counts. Gachaco Inc., a joint venture with Japanese oil and energy corporation Eneos, as well as motorcycle manufacturers Yamaha, Suzuki, and Kawasaki, has now received the first "Honda Power Pack Exchanger e:" station.  Tokyo-based Gachaco is supported by the municipal government because of its 2035 target of de-gasoholizing all new motorcycles. Honda battery swap station Honda's Mobile Power Pack e: (MPP e:), which has a capacity of 1,314Wh and requires roughly five hours to completely charge, is the standardized recyclable battery specification accepted by all the manufacturers.  With the intention of using these racks to store energy during periods of peak production and discharge electricity back into the grid when demand surges, Eneos donated the Battery as a Service platform (BaaS) on which it is constructed.
