Abstract:

To counter the ill effects of fossil fuels, electric mobility is being seriously considered as an alternative to fuel the mobility needs of rapid urbanisation. India has pledged to reduce carbon intensity by 33-35% by 2030. According to statistics, more than 80% of the total vehicles in India comprise of 2Ws, unlike 4Ws in western countries. 

This blog post by Blue circle staff highlights the refuelling issues of EVs and the advantages of battery swapping technologies. While battery swapping is relatively less cost-intensive. However, there are still a number of cases in different cities for both 2W and 3W where swapping turns out to be unviable.
