S’pore firm Evotion Labs launches first commercial battery swop service for electric motorcycles

SINGAPORE - A company has launched a battery swopping service for electric motorcycles – the first of its kind in Singapore.

These stations allow users to exchange empty batteries from an electric motorcycle for fully charged ones – a process that takes a few minutes. Currently, fleet-owning companies can use the battery swopping service from Evotion. They can opt to have the swop stations installed at their own premises or use the ones set up by Evotion, which was incorporated in 2021.

Each Niu electric motorcycle carries two batteries and can travel up to 120km on a full charge. The rider can opt to exchange either one or both batteries for fresh ones at the battery charge and swop station using a dedicated smartphone app. Buyers of the electric motorcycles are also required to declare that they will not charge the vehicle through illegal means.

A conventional scooter like the Yamaha Aerox costs around $15,000 with COE. At today’s fuel prices, using 92-octane petrol, the Yamaha will cost around five cents per kilometre.
