In this paper, we use car-following model to study the effects of battery exchange at the on-line charging station on the vehicle’s driving behavior and running time. The numerical results illustrate that battery exchange will produce one prominent starting process at the upstream of the charging station and one prominent braking process at the downstream of the charging station and enhance each vehicle’s running time and the system’s total running time and that the influences of battery exchange on each vehicle’s driving behavior (including the starting and braking processes, the personal running time and the system’s total running time) are directly related to each vehicle’s arrival rate at the origin, the electric vehicle’s proportion and each electric vehicle’s series number in the vehicle fleet. The results can help traffic engineer to reasonably design the on-line charging station and optimize each vehicle’s arrival rate at the origin.
