The initiative seeks to address challenges in electric vehicle adoption, including range anxiety and charging downtime. By allowing riders to swap depleted batteries for fully charged ones in less than two minutes, the partnership simplifies the EV ownership experience and reduces operational inefficiencies, according to a press release by Jitendra EV.
