In March 2020, the Department for Transport (DfT) released the first part of its transport decarbonisation Plan (TDP) which sets out the case for action and the scale of the policy gap. The emissions reduction trajectory for 2050 implied by the DfT's analysis is an annual CO2 reduction rate of at least 5 to 6%.Moonlight Energy's mission is to make last-mile transport sustainable and efficient. We provide portable swap battery stations for electric motorcycles and scooters. Our Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model for electric motorcycles and scooters is intended to eliminate the worries of charging times and range which are seen as the major roadblocks in the path to EV domination in the two-wheeled market. Our swap stations are small, modular, and efficient and can be scaled up and down to demand. We save over 1.12 kg CO2e per motorcycle per year.Our project will return £20 for every £1 of private and public investment mainly from improved air quality, customer and NHS savings, and the proliferation of new jobs (up to 5000 by 2030) resulting from the rollout of our solution.In this project, we will demonstrate the relevance of battery swapping as a service for fleet operators and highlight the benefits of using our sensors with AI and Machine learning to create a digital twin of our proposed swap battery network to understand how the following factors - charge rate, ambient temperature, speed of the vehicle and load factor affect the performance and efficiency of our batteries.Our solution has multiple environmental, social and economic benefits. Swap-it aids the UK government's commitment to the Climate Change Act (2019) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 100% of 1990 levels by 2050\. By encouraging more local green mobility. Our solution will ensure 1.6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) savings per annum, equivalent to about 0.3% of the UK's current greenhouse emissions.Swap-It will create value for fleet operators, energy generators, suppliers, and EV owners in excess of £100m by Y5\. We will re-invest at least 30% of our annual earnings into R&D for battery recycling and recovery to limit unsustainable sand mining practices that harm our environment.

2020 年 3 月，英国交通部 (DfT) 发布了交通脱碳计划 (TDP) 的第一部分，其中列出了行动理由和政策差距的规模。 DfT 的分析暗示了 2050 年的减排轨迹。年二氧化碳排放量至少减少 5% 至 6%。Moonlight Energy 的使命是使最后一英里的运输可持续且高效。我们为电动摩托车和踏板车提供便携式更换电池站。电动摩托车和踏板车的电池即服务 (BaaS) 模型旨在消除充电时间和续航里程的担忧，而充电时间和续航里程被视为电动汽车在两轮市场占据主导地位的主要障碍。小型、模块化、高效，可根据需求进行扩展和缩减。每辆摩托车每年可减少超过 1.12 公斤的二氧化碳当量。我们的项目每 1 英镑的私人和公共投资将带来 20 英镑的回报，主要来自改善空气质量、客户。和国民医疗服务体系我们的解决方案的推出带来了节省成本以及新就业机会的激增（到 2030 年将增加 5000 个）。在这个项目中，我们将展示电池更换服务对车队运营商的相关性，并强调使用我们的传感器的好处人工智能和机器学习为我们提出的交换电池网络创建数字孪生，以了解以下因素（充电率、环境温度、车辆速度和负载系数）如何影响我们电池的性能和效率。我们的解决方案具有多种环境、社会效益和经济效益。 Swap-it 有助于英国政府履行《气候变化法案》（2019 年）的承诺，即到 2050 年将温室气体排放量减少至 1990 年水平的 100%。我们的解决方案将确保减少 160 万吨二氧化碳。每年节省约 0.3% 的二氧化碳当量，相当于英国当前温室气体排放量的 0.3%。 Swap-它将为车队运营商、能源生产商、供应商和电动汽车创造价值到第 5 年，我们将把至少 30% 的年收入重新投入到电池回收和回收的研发中，以限制危害我们环境的不可持续采砂做法。
