Zero emissions and lower carbon footprint are key motivations for Electrical Vehicle (EV) adoption for mobility globally. India’s socio-economic, demographic, and environmental diversity provides a unique opportunity for adopting EVs. The charging infrastructure is integral to EV adoption since it addresses key consumer concerns.The paper aims to introduce and discuss the concept of battery swapping technology as a supplement to setting up charging infrastructure. Typically, battery costs are almost 50% of the initial vehicle costs; hence, battery swapping provides a viable alternative to encourage consumer adoption while being a fillip to the charging infrastructure. The multi-dimensional benefits of battery swapping systems have been outlined for the stakeholders - Consumers, Energy Operators and Power/Utility companies. Like any other new technology adoption, battery swapping has advantages and challenges. The paper discusses the technology behind battery swapping, the challenges, key societal, technological, economic and policy related factors to accelerate adoption, and how, when done right will significantly boost the charging infrastructure in the country. The operating model of a few prominent battery swapping players and global implementations are discussed to understand and share best practices.
