Battery Swapping for Micromobility Fleets

Electric Bikes, Electric Scooters, Battery Swapping Stations, Battery as a Service for Micromobility, Micromobility Battery Swapping Stations: Global Market Analysis and Forecasts, 2024-2033

Battery swapping is an emerging technology with potential to provide important benefits and stimulate the continued growth of electric micromobility. With their advantages of sustainable, low cost and efficient urban transportation, micromobility fleets have experienced rapid global growth over the past decade. Vehicle batteries can be exchanged in a matter of minutes at a conveniently located battery swapping station (BSS). This drastically reduces the logistical efforts and operational costs for charging at a conventional charging hub, and reduces vehicle downtime, thus maximizing revenue generation. Further, battery swapping brings sustainability advantages as a result of fewer logistical efforts required for charging, and from grid benefits when they are used as energy storage systems and integrated with renewable energy sources.

Battery swapping for micromobility promises to reduce fleet operating costs, providing an improved charging experience for its users and delivering environmental benefits. Though battery swapping faces multiple challenges, Guidehouse Insights forecasts solid growth in fleet micromobility vehicles used in battery swapping programs, the installations of battery swapping stations, and revenue generated through the battery as a service business model. Technology advances and cost efficiencies will drive revenue growth and increase penetration of battery as a service (BaaS) for micromobility fleets.

This Guidehouse Insights research report examines the global market for battery swapping for micromobility fleets. Forecasts include unit sales of fleet micromobility vehicles (e-bikes, e-kick scooters and seated e-scooters), installed bases of fleet micromobility vehicles, deployments of fleet micromobility vehicles for BaaS, and deployments of batteries and BSS for BaaS, for the 10-year forecast period of 2024-2033.
