The electric vehicle industry has welcomed the battery swapping policy with inter-operability standards.
Battery swapping is one of the ways of charging an electric vehicle (EV). Instead of spending time charging up a depleted battery, battery swapping enables the exchange of freshly charged batteries.
Such a policy necessitates inter-operability standards which imply the standardisation of batteries used by OEMs and manufacturers of EVs.
The Society of Manufacturers of Electric Vehicles (SMEV) applauded the move. Sohinder Gill from the SMEV said: “This will help to develop EV infrastructure and increase the use of EVs.
