Abstract

A method for controlling battery replacement based on distance data and a system thereof are provided. The method includes: reading current distance data of an electric vehicle, wherein the current distance data indicates the total distance that the electric vehicle has traveled; receiving related recharge information for the electric vehicle submitted by a user, wherein the related recharge information includes a distance account, and the distance account indicates that the user currently adopts a billing policy in which the user is credited with a fixed amount of distance in a fixed period of time; and determining whether to perform an operation of replacing a battery of the electric vehicle according to the distance data and the billing policy. By using the present invention, distance data of an electric vehicle and distance account information can be obtained, and by using the distance data and the distance account information battery replacement can be controlled conveniently, which ensures continuous electricity provided for the green operation of the electric vehicle.
