Even though electric cars (EVs) are becoming more prevalent all over the world, their short ranges and lengthy charging periods continue to be issued. Battery swapping is a technique utilized more commonly for tiny electric vehicles like scooters and used for many years.
Battery swapping is exactly what it sounds like: replacing a vehicle’s discharged battery with a fully charged one. Although this may be done manually, several nations are already automating the procedure.
The use of battery swapping has several advantages. The first benefit is time savings since switching out a battery for a car can be done in about ten minutes.
Even the quickest charging times cannot compare to how quickly this is. Another advantage of battery swapping is that it may make EVs less expensive overall. Making batteries a separate component should help reduce prices as they are one of the most costly parts of an EV.
Additionally, higher battery turnover could make it easier for manufacturers to spot battery flaws Consistent charging procedures might increase battery rotation and enhance battery life in general.
The South Africa EV Battery Swapping Market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
Ampersand and TotalEnergies Kenya have teamed up to develop charging stations for electric motorcycles in Kenya. The net-zero emissions goal of TotalEnergies is in accordance with the electric motorbike battery swapping and charging station at TotalEnergies Hurlingham in Nairobi.
After TotalEnergies Dagoretti and Mountain View, the new swapping and charging station in Hurlingham takes the total to three such facilities. According to TotalEnergies Kenya, the charging station would give Boda Boda clients access to dependable, clean, and economical electricity.
We are pleased with the new approach and will keep looking for creative ways to provide clients with renewable energy.
The best companies to collaborate with for hosting electric motorbike battery swapping and charging stations are businesses like TotalEnergies Kenya which already have a substantial retail network. These partnerships could be replicated and scaled across the nation and the rest of the continent thanks to their extensive networks.
