How battery swapping helps cities
A shared battery pool, longer battery life and less charging infrastructure in the city: this is how battery swapping makes urban mobility more sustainable.
Use batteries more efficiently
In Swobbee Stations, batteries are charged and stored under controlled conditions, controlled by battery management and climate control. That way they last longer. And because many riders share one battery pool, the pool can get by with fewer batteries.
Resource efficiency
A Swobbee Station charges and swaps batteries from different manufacturers, regardless of fleet. That reduces the need for resource-intensive, incompatible stand-alone charging solutions. Companies also don’t have to build and maintain their own charging infrastructure. 24/7 monitoring detects defective batteries early, and they are taken out of the system and stored safely until repair or recycling. If a battery can’t be repaired, it is recycled so that its valuable raw materials are preserved.
Cut CO2 emissions
With a decentralised swapping and charging infrastructure, batteries are charged where they are needed. Companies no longer have to collect them in vans and take them to warehouses for recharging. That saves CO2 and means less noise and traffic in the city. And because swapping is fast, the electric vehicles are back in service within minutes.
Promoting car alternatives
Swobbee’s charging infrastructure makes it possible to run micromobility for delivery, logistics and sharing cost-efficiently. That moves the mobility transition in cities forward.
