Crayon Motors, Bounce Infinity Partner to Install Battery Swapping Stations Pan India

E-2Wheeler and E-3Wheeler manufacturer Crayon Motors has entered into a partnership with Bounce Infinity to set up the first interoperated battery-swapping network.
 
Under this partnership, Crayon Motors’ customers can choose to buy a 2W or 3W without battery and make use of Bounce Infinity’s “Battery-as-a-Service”. The solution will be available across Crayon Motors’ dealerships, residential complexes, petrol bunks, restaurants, cafes, co-living spaces, corporate offices, kirana stores, etc.
 
This partnership would extend Battery-as-a-service to all low-powered and high-powered 2W’s manufactured by Crayon. These stations will have all time charged and ready-to-go batteries; that one can easily swap with their near-empty batteries in under a few minutes.
 
With this infrastructure in place, customers wouldn’t have to wait for their vehicles to charge, be anxious about the range or remember to charge it.
 
Commenting on the partnership, Mayank Jain, Co-Founder and Director of Crayon Motors, said, “We are thrilled to be partnering with Bounce Infinity. As we aim to expand to other regions, we wish to address the various difficulties that must be solved for a successful and seamless EV adoption in India. Along with our country-wide Roadside Assistance, we will also now be offering battery swapping. This step will go a long way in offering leading comfort and peace of mind to our customers.”
 
“With Crayon Motors battery swapping offering, powered by Bounce Infinity, customers will now be able to move from range anxiety to range serenity or ease. The battery swapping technology will also eliminate charging time. While driving an EV, the main concern a customer has is, ‘what if I run out of battery charge in the middle of a highway or a busy road?’ Searching for a battery charging station and then spending hours charging the battery of the vehicle is a time consuming as well as anxiety inducing task. If you can access a fully charged battery at that point, the range anxiety then turns to range ease. Plus, the customer does not have to worry about spending hours charging,” he further added.
 
Besides, Bounce Infinity would also be extending its “Battery-as-a-Service” to Crayon’s sister concern 3W brand ‘Singham, allowing Singham vehicles to be now sold under a new variant – ‘E-Rickshaw with Battery-as-a-Service’.
 
Speaking about the tie-up Anil G, COO and Co-Founder, Bounce Infinity, said, “Bounce Infinity has been strategically partnering with prominent players to revolutionize battery swapping and after sales experience for consumers. Our partnership with Crayon reiterates our commitment towards cleaner and greener future.”
