Technology Description
The battery swapping concept was introduced as an alternative to electric vehicle (EV) charging stations with the idea to save refuelling time for EVs. A battery swapping station allows the user of an EV to exchange the vehicle's battery for a fully charged one. This technology is being studied for application to cars and vans, 2/3-wheelers and heavy-duty vehicles.
Relevance for Net Zero
Battery swapping for e-bikes is very attractive for many reasons, primarily refuelling time, which is estimated to be less than 3 to 4 minutes and provide a driving range of 100 km. Furthermore, battery swapping can help to alleviate that the issue of strains on distribution and transmission grids, which is relevant in countries with large numbers of e-bikes, such as India.
