Battery swapping is a method of quickly replacing a depleted battery in an electric vehicle (EV), electric bike, or other battery-powered device with a fully charged battery, instead of waiting for the battery to recharge. This approach is designed to minimize downtime and improve convenience, especially in commercial or high-usage applications such as delivery fleets, taxis, and shared mobility.
Key Benefits:
Speed: Much faster than conventional EV charging (especially slow or Level 2 charging)
Scalability: Reduces need for high-power charging infrastructure
Lower upfront cost: Users can buy vehicles without owning the battery, reducing initial investment
Battery lifecycle management: Operators can monitor, rotate, and maintain battery health centrally
