Battery Swapping

Battery swapping is a process in which a depleted battery from an electric vehicle (EV) is replaced with a fully charged one at a specialized station. This method allows for quick exchange, often taking just a few minutes, significantly reducing downtime compared to traditional charging methods that can take hours. Battery swapping is intended to address range anxiety, provide convenience for electric vehicle users, and facilitate the use of EVs in scenarios like ride-hailing or commercial fleets where time is critical. The system relies on standardization of battery sizes or types across different vehicle models for compatibility.
