What is the news?<\/b><\/h5>\n

In Budget 2022-23, <\/span>, the Finance Minister has announced that the government would introduce a battery swapping policy and interoperability standards.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What is battery swapping?<\/b><\/h5>\n

Battery swapping or <\/span>battery-as-a-service<\/strong> allows EV owners to replace the discharged batteries with charged ones at the swap stations. When the battery is discharged, the owner can change it with a fully charged one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How will the Battery Swapping Policy work?<\/b><\/h5>\n

The policy is likely to focus on battery swap services for three-wheeled auto rickshaws and two-wheelers such as electric scooters and motorcycles.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the policy, EV owners may get incentives of up to 20% on the subscription or lease cost of the battery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the advantages of Battery Swapping?<\/b><\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Firstly, it will address the problem of setting up charging stations and also reduce range anxiety of drivers.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly, it can help EV owners save the cost of purchasing a battery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thirdly, it is less time consuming and takes only a few minutes compared to charging at a battery station which could take hours.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, it also requires minimum infrastructure.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the barriers to Battery Swapping? 1)\u00a0<\/b>High Cost of Battery (Batteries account for close to 60% of the cost for an e-two-wheeler) 2)\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Lack of standardization among batteries 3)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>Unsuitable battery pack design and 4)\u00a0<\/strong><\/span>Higher GST on separate batteries (18% versus 5% for EVs)\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
