Battery swapping

After around 100km it’s time to come for a battery swap. Customers come to the charging station and pay a small fee for a freshly charged battery. The process is very much the same as going to a fuel station for refuelling except our ‘fuel’ fee is MUCH smaller! 

We’re very lucky to have a great team of local on-site and roving technicians who manage the swapping. The team are young, very passionate and always building their skills, experience and knowledge surrounding renewable energy, vehicles and batteries. 

With the growing demand for qualified individuals in the increasing EV industry throughout the continent, we love that we are inspiring local youth (with mechanical knowledge or not!) into this field.

The battery swapping process is smooth and swift so our technicians are kept busy with repair, servicing, and management of our solarchargingstations, purpose-built tricycle (the Hamba) as well as engaging with local customers and communities on a day-to-day basis.
