Bounce, Bharat Petroleum to set up 3,000 battery swapping stations

Battery swapping is also said to reduce the upfront cost of e-scooters by 40-50%.

Bounce Infinity has partnered with Bharat Petroleum to set up 3,000 battery swapping stations across India.

As part of the deal, Bounce will install battery swapping stations at Bharat Petroleum fuel bunks across the top 10 cities. Customers will be able to search for the nearest swapping location on the Bounce App. The swapping stations will have charged and ready-to-go batteries that customers can easily swap with their near-empty batteries in a few minutes.

Battery swapping is also said to reduce the upfront cost of e-scooters by 40-50%. It would also support 2-wheelers and 3-wheelers that have been converted to EVs from internal combustion vehicles.
