Battery Swapping Locker

Swap & Go in minutes

Battery swapping allows for maximum asset utilization and can offer significant cost savings for commercial-scale utilization such as fleet operators and shared-mobility providers. It promises future reductions in battery price which in turn would further accelerate the adoption of light-duty electric vehicles and serves to allay concerns related to range anxiety.

Battery swapping locker offers a plug-and-play solution for charging the battery of an electric two-wheelers (E2W) and electric three-wheelers (E3W). It involves switching out a depleted battery for a fully charged one at a swapping station within the battery swapping operator's network. For light-duty vehicles, this recharge process can be carried out manually in mere minutes. This is comparable to gasoline refueling time and significantly shorter than conventional point charging.

Battery swapping system has built-in IoT that facilitates constant tracking and monitoring of battery performance through data analytics. Operators can use this data to estimate real-time demand and optimize the distribution of battery inventory across their swapping stations. Battery swapping for E2Ws and E3Ws can be operationalized via manned services or automated unmanned kiosks.

Battery swapping kiosk has a small real estate footprint and can be located in the parking lots of shopping malls, restaurants, grocery stores, and other heavily trafficked locations. Generally, the capital investment required for setting up a new swapping kiosk is significantly lower than that of setting up a new Level 2 charger.
