Swappable Batteries: A must for Electric Vehicles

The first thought that tags along while considering whether an electric vehicle is a charging solution. While Electric bikes have already dubbed as the futuristic mode of transportation, myths and confusions still revolve around them and the most prominent of them is the recharging facilities. While the Indian market is flooded with quality lithium battery bikes already for the buyers to choose from, the attention has now shifted to swappable battery scooters.

While consumers have been receptive to switch to electric scooters with the manufacturers offering the best battery scooters in India, the challenges related to recharge these vehicles have been a reason for considering CNG vehicles over the electronic ones. To break it down while it takes around 10-20 minutes to refuel a conventional vehicle, an electric scooter might take around an hour or more. This is where the swappable lithium battery bikes come into the picture

Swappable battery technology is certainly a leapfrog opportunity for EV manufactures and dealers in India. The manufacturers like Gemopai have already estimated the potential of this innovative solution and introduced their swappable lithium battery bikes in the market. Consequently, their efforts to offer the best battery scooters in India has moved one step ahead with the removable battery feature.

Advantages of Swappable battery scooters

• The first and foremost advantage is the cut down in the wait time for recharging the vehicles, as the users will always have a backup ready. This in turn will escalate the faith of the consumers in electric scooters and increase the purchase percentage.

• Although lithium battery bikes are fast charging in general, fast-charging batteries can lead to degradation quicker sometimes, the battery swapping option will allow the charging in a standard duration and a controlled environment thus offering a prolonged battery life, and the users can save money on replacing the batteries.

• The battery charging stations can see growth, there are no limitations for establishing a battery charging station – it can be a restaurant, gym, malls, supermarkets etc. Apart from that the battery swapping infrastructure doesn’t require a bulk space like petrol stations and can be integrated with mobile apps.

• The battery swapping technology will boost the ill effects of fuel burning and boost the pledge taken by the government of India to reduce the carbon intensity by 33-35% by the year 2030.

The bottom line:

There is no doubt that mobility has been redefined with the advent of EVs and just when we thought we have witnessed the future of transportation, here are some remarkable solutions coming towards sustainable traveling. With the battery swapping technology, the future of the best battery scooters in India becomes even more distinct and advantageous, while contributing towards a shift to greener energy and environment-friendly transportation.

Gemopai is a joint venture between Go Green E-Mobility and Opai Electric which is one of the largest manufacturers of electric vehicles in the world. Opai has a 15+ years’ experience in manufacturing quality electric 2 wheeler s having sold more than 15 million electric 2 wheeler s worldwide.

Go green E-Mobility and Opai have signed MOU for joint venture technology transfer and cooperation agreements for further developing electric two wheeler models for the Indian market. Gemopai was one of the earliest brands to support a portable Li-ion battery, since its launch last year in 2018.

There is heightened interest in the EV industry, not just in India but globally too, as we all set out for a better future. Electric Vehicles is the disruption the auto industry badly needs. And the Indian Government surely is driving growth of the Electric Vehicle industry.

The Government’s statement of purpose for making India become global hub of manufacturing EVs is much needed. As a key player, Gemopai mission is to become a partner of growth for the Government.
