Description

Promotion of the adoption of electric motorcycles through the deployment of a battery swapping ecosystem that enables new models of commercialization.

To help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, as well as air and noise pollution, the ECOSWAP project is promoting the uptake of e-motorbikes by offering a battery swapping system to existing and new motorbike riders. Instead of having to pay for the cost of the battery, the customer can choose to participate in the scheme to share the motorbike battery. This will reduce the overall vehicle price tag and incentivise sales.

ECOSWAP aims to foster the adoption of e-motorbikes through the deployment of a battery swapping ecosystem which enables new commercialisation models. These models remove the cost of batteries from the purchase and offer customers a convenient battery swapping service that allows the user to swap for a fully charged battery in less than one minute. The innovation boasts interoperability for different brands (Silence and SEAT MÓ), the use of the infrastructure by motorbike-sharing companies, the recyclability of the ecosystem and the involvement of third parties as scalability enabler. The project will test and validate different business models in pilots in Barcelona (2022 & 2023) and in Verona (2023).
