Bounce has registered more than 10 lakh battery swaps on its energy infrastructure network, Bounce Infinity, the company has said in a statement. With this, Bounce says it has become the first energy infrastructure company to achieve such an accomplishment in the country. The Bounce Infinity swapping stations work on similar principles to a fuel station, with charged and ready to go batteries that customers can easily swap with their used batteries in a few minutes.
