I.e. the length of the vehicle platform is greater than the length of the micro-tank 60, the vehicle platform will have an extension beyond the micro-tank 60 through which the vehicle 200 can be guided into the micro-tank 60. The length ratio between the vehicle platform and the micro-housing 60 of 1.1-1.5 is preferred, in this range, both guiding and without taking up too much space.
In another embodiment, the charging stand 30 houses 1-3 batteries 300, and the charging stand 30 has 3-10 battery bays. By adopting the structure, more batteries 300 can be borne under the limited occupied area, and the number of battery bins of the battery 300 frame is controlled below 10, so that the design, the processing and the manufacturing are facilitated.
