One of the biggest hurdles the electric vehicle industry must overcome is long charging times. While fast-chargers are now able to juice up batteries in a matter of minutes, this is still nowhere near as fast as it takes to refuel a gasoline tank. This is where the topic of swappable batteries comes into play, especially when it comes to electric two-wheelers.
In fact, in countries like Kenya, swappable batteries have paved the way for the next generation of mobility on two wheels. A recent article by Reuters explains that electric motorcycle adoption in the African country has skyrocketed in recent times due to the proliferation of battery swapping technology. Easily identifiable by their bright and vibrant colors, battery swapping stations are now scattered across Kenya's capital of Nairobi.
