India\u2019s biggest oil firm has taken a small but substantial step in the direction of a pollution-free world. Indian Oil, on Friday, announced that they will soon start setting up battery-swapping stations at their petrol pumps. These swapping stations will be used to provide instant recharge for EVs.<\/p>\n
The new plan has been executed in partnership with Sun Mobility in order to set up the battery swapping facility, called Quick Interchange Station (QIS). According to company chairman Sanjiv Singh, the oil firm will begin with a pilot of battery swapping at one of its outlets in Chandigarh and gradually scale it up to 20 stations. Three more QIS – one each in Chandigarh, Amritsar, and Bengaluru- will be set up under the pilot project. New Delhi, Gurugram, and other cities will also be covered under the pilot.<\/p>\n
Since battery charging facilities are still at a nascent stage and most of them take a lot of time to recharge, IOC came up with this swapping technique to reduce waiting hours to just a few minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
