The alliance will make Omega Seiki Mobility's entire product portfolio gain new value with easily swappable batteries, the company said in a statement. SUN Mobility's Swap Points are available at convenient locations such as IOCL fuel stations and it takes less than 2-minute for a driver to swap the batteries. The lithium-ion batteries have been developed and assembled by SUN Mobility in India with highly efficient, sustainable, and cutting-edge technology.
SUN Mobility's QIS allows electric three-wheeler drivers to switch their discharged batteries with fully charged ones in 2-3 minutes thereby addressing customer concerns around range, long charging times and inadequate charging infrastructure. The key USP of SUN Mobility's world-class swappable battery technology is that it offers interoperability across two and three-wheelers.
