Jitendra New EV Tech Pvt. Ltd., a leading electric two-wheeler manufacturer in India, has partnered with Battery Smart, the country’s largest and fastest-growing battery swapping network for electric two- and three-wheelers. This strategic collaboration aims to transform the electric vehicle ecosystem by integrating Battery Smart’s advanced battery-swapping technology into Jitendra EV’s fleet. The partnership will link Jitendra EV to Battery Smart’s network of over 1,400 swapping stations across 40+ cities in India, enabling riders to quickly swap depleted batteries for fully charged ones in under two minutes.
Transforming Urban Mobility: Jitendra EV sought to lower the upfront costs for fleet operators by decoupling the battery from the vehicle purchase. This innovative approach will not only make electric scooters more accessible to businesses but also ease their transition to sustainable transport solutions. This partnership marked a significant leap in overcoming two major hurdles in EV adoption: Range anxiety and charging downtime. With Battery Smart’s dense pan-India battery-swapping infrastructure, Jitendra EV users were able to access fully charged batteries on the go, at numerous locations, eliminating the need for long charging stops, making electric mobility both affordable and accessible.
Empowering EV Users: Jitendra EV’s partnership with Battery Smart reinforced its commitment to sustainable mobility solutions. By integrating Battery Smart’s innovative swapping ecosystem, Jitendra EV riders will benefit from:
· Quick Swaps: Fully charged batteries in under two minutes.
· Lower Upfront Cost: Purchase scooters without owning the batteries.
· Widespread Accessibility: Expanding network of swapping stations in urban and semi-urban areas.
· Cost-Effective Mobility: Flexible and affordable subscription-based battery swapping.
