SUN Mobility launches EV battery-swapping network in Mumbai

24 Jun 2022 CW Team

SUN Mobility has launched its battery-swapping network for electric vehicles (EVs) in Mumbai in collaboration with Amazon India.

The first set of stations placed at Amazon's sites in Mumbai and Pune, SUN Mobility plans to deploy more than 2,000 battery swapping stations in Maharashtra by 2025.

Minister of Environment and Climate Change and the state government of Maharashtra, Aaditya Thackeray, said that the innovative technologies and models in mobility, including battery swapping, emerge in Maharashtra can be carried forward to the rest of the country and the globe. The state government intends to work with various players in this sector and extend all necessary support to make Maharashtra a leading example in EV adoption.

Earlier, Amazon and SUN Mobility worked together to expand EVs integrated with battery swapping technology for delivery fleet operations.

The expansion project will further support Amazon's efforts to implement more sustainable practices in its operations and contribute to its Climate Pledge goals of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.

SUN Mobility plans to set up more than 2,000 Swap PointTM in Maharashtra by 2025, supporting over 2,00,000 electric two and three-wheelers and expects to clock over 3,00,000 swaps daily.

It will create over 3000 direct employment opportunities and support over 2,00,000 self-employed or fleet-employed EV users.

This project expects to reduce vehicular carbon emissions in the state by 3,00,000 tonnes per annum. Moreover, SUN Mobility plans to deploy over 100 swap stations in Mumbai, followed by Pune in FY22-23. This network will support over 4,000 EVs, including 2W and 3W, for goods and passengers in Mumbai and Pune using SUN Mobility's battery swapping technology.

SUN Mobility and Amazon have been working in collaboration on deploying EVs for last-mile delivery and setting up Sun Mobility-operated swapping points at Amazon sites.

Over 200 vehicles are using SUN Mobility's swap solutions for Amazon's delivery operations in Delhi National Capital Region (NCR) and Bangalore, covering more than 12,500 km daily and clocking over 1,250 daily swaps.
