Advantages of Swappable batteries for cities

• Swapping stations for light vehicles are very space efficient compared to car charging stations
• The ground occupied by a car, in combination with its recharging time, necessitates wide areas for parking while recharging
• Light vehicles could swap their battery on the spot within minutes, with minimal space occupation
• The station's batteries can be stacked in height and will occupy only a minor area on the ground.

Key benefits

• Enhanced Electrification: Swappable batteries make it attractive to city residents and businesses by providing quick and convenient refueling options.
• Reduced Infrastructure Burden: While infrastructure investment is needed for swapping stations, they can reduce the demand for numerous public charging points, potentially saving on long-term infrastructure costs.
• Improved Urban Mobility: Swappable batteries support the growth of clean urban transportation and contribute to reducing emissions, aligning with sustainability goals.
• Potential for Renewable Energy: Cities can explore integrating renewable energy sources into swapping stations to further reduce their carbon footprint.
