What is Battery Swapping?

Quickly exchange depleted batteries for charged ones. This takes just 3-5 minutes, compared to hours of charging.
Minimizes vehicle downtime, allowing drivers to make more trips per day.

Economic Benefits for Drivers

01

Lower Upfront Costs

Vehicles are up to 50% cheaper without the battery, making it more affordable for drivers.
02

Reduced Operating Expenses

Pay-per-use battery swaps reduce daily operating costs, making the business more profitable.
03

Increased Earnings

Drivers can make 20-30% more trips per day due to reduced downtime.

Environmental Impact

Reduced CO2 Emissions

Battery swapping reduces CO2 emissions by up to 35% compared to petrol rickshaws.
