SUN Mobility, a leading energy infrastructure, and electric vehicle service provider struck an agreement with Greaves Electric Mobility (GEM) on Tuesday to collaborate and analyse the best potential solution for EV customers in the battery swapping area.

GEM and Sun Mobility will deploy swappable batteries for electric vehicles in the country as part of this agreement, according to a joint statement. With the government and key industry participants recognizing the value of Battery-as-a-Service in accelerating EV adoption, this cooperation intends to boost EV adoption in India by employing the same charging infrastructure for both two-wheelers and three-wheelers.

"Through Greaves Electric Mobility, we aim to strengthen our leadership position in the electric vehicle segment and provide the best and most affordable last-mile connectivity experience to our large number of customers across the country. Together with SUN Mobility, we would be addressing one of the critical elements in EV adoption in terms of range anxiety and providing an uninterrupted journey," Ram Rajappa, Chief Technology Officer, Greaves Electric Mobility.

GEM offers two-wheelers, three-wheelers, e-rickshaws, and e-loaders, among other electric vehicles (across brands like Ampere, Ele, and MLR Auto).

According to the release, the SUN Mobility platform would address all of these cars employing 1/2/3/4 batteries, providing consumers with a one-stop solution on what is likely the world's first totally interoperable platform.

GEM intends to employ the infrastructure and battery for both electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers, thanks to SUN Mobility's industry-leading battery technology. SUN Mobility claims that its Quick Interchange Station network, which spans 14 cities, will make it simple for GEM to immediately roll out this service across the country.

"SUN Mobility has always been committed to bringing forth technologically superior, convenient, and sustainable solutions to the EV space and this mirrors well with Greaves Cotton's aim to bring about the best products for an uninterrupted future in mobility. Together, we aim to propel the common goal to accelerate the demand and adoption of EVs in the country," Anant Badjatya, CEO, of SUN Mobility, said.
