Commenting on this partnership, Chetan Maini, Co-Founder and Chairman, SUN Mobility said, "Our commitment is to increase adoption of EVs in the last mile transportation segment by making refuelling faster, affordable, more accessible and convenient via battery swapping.

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.
