Problem
The adoption of electric low-speed vehicles (LSEVs) in Southeast Asia is limited by the high costs and short lifespans of existing lead-acid batteries. This results in range anxiety due to long charging times, leading to revenue loss for commercial vehicle operators.
Solution
Hessner Technologies offers a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) platform designed to overcome the barriers to electric conversion for LSEVs, such as e-trikes and tuk-tuks. The platform provides battery swapping stations that allow for quick battery replacements, eliminating range anxiety and minimizing downtime. Hessner's solution incorporates a hybrid energy storage system (HESS) platform with active supercapacitor modules to extend battery lifespan. A cloud-based data analytics platform monitors battery health, providing operators with advanced notifications for proactive maintenance. The pay-per-use model reduces the initial investment required for electric vehicles, making them more accessible to commercial operators.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes commercial operators of low-speed electric vehicles (LSEVs) in Southeast Asia, specifically those utilizing 3 and 4-wheeled vehicles like e-trikes and tuk-tuks.
