SUN Mobility Launches SwapX and S2.1 At Auto Expo 2023

SUN Mobility launched SwapX, a fully automated battery-swapping solution. The company also launched its next generation of Battery Pack - S2.1, offering a higher battery power with 45 per cent more range.

SwapX caters to a mass customer base especially small and medium businesses to set up and manage Swap Points™ from the convenience of their stores. The solution offered in a franchise model will address concerns of lack of infrastructure and long charging or waiting time by increasing network density and will encourage mass-scale adoption of EVs.

SwapX has an intuitive, vibrant display and comes with dedicated multiple, system-controlled safety sensors. Each unit has three onboard computers equipped with a smart card reader, smoke detection, surge and shock protection and advanced thermal management.

The unit also comes with an onboard SOS button. It requires minimal space at an establishment, and multiple stations can be stacked together to facilitate additional swapping requirements in the area.

The S2.1 is a lightweight and robust smart battery with an enhanced capacity of 2.1 kWh. It is cloud-connected, interoperable, and safe to use. The S2.1 is AIS156 (Phase 1 certified) and has undergone over 450 safety and performance tests including climatic, cyclic, drop, and vibration tests. The batteries have been extensively tested with multiple vehicle platforms in real-world conditions.

Chetan Maini, Co-founder & Chairman, SUN Mobility, said, "The new solutions will be game-changing, involving every store in India's EV revolution, while strengthening the growing electric mobility network in the country."

"SwapX compliments our vision by greatly strengthening and helping build a high-capacity network. The station is future-proof and can charge the current as well as next-generation smart batteries. For franchisees, it is quite easy to set up with our app and only requires a 15-amp socket and up to 6 sq ft space. Every SwapX and battery is connected to our smart network to ensure seamless services from our team," added Anant Badjatya, CEO, SUN Mobility.
