Electric mobility service provider Yulu has launched battery charging and swapping stations named ‘Yulu Max Network’ to help its users swap their batteries with zero downtime.
This will be India’s first AI-powered, vertically integrated battery infrastructure for electric two-wheelers.
Max stations will solve the problem of range anxiety with electric two-wheelers by having the battery swapping stations within two km of a rider’s reach.
To enable this, Yulu will create 500 Max stations across Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi NCR regions by the middle of 2022. These stations will be strategically located in areas of high movement density, making EVs a convenient and practical mobility solution.
This network will be scaled to more than 2,000 Max stations by the end of 2022, eventually putting these max stations within one km of a rider’s reach.
The firm launched its first batch of 10 Yulu Max stations in Bengaluru. The Max Network in Bengaluru, Karnataka, will be quickly scaled to 30 by the end of November 2021, and to 100 within the next three months.
These will have the capacity to increase the initial outlay of 10,000 battery swaps per day to 25,000 batteries per day by the end of next quarter in Bengaluru, Mumbai and Delhi NCR regions.
By the end of 2022, the Max Network will have the capacity for 1,50,000 battery swaps per day, and will cover electric two-wheeler users across an area of 750 sq km in these three cities.
