Total electrification of road transport has its own major constraints. The industry struggles to reduce the plug-in charging times and impact on the grid of battery-powered electric vehicles. Battery swapping is one of the best concepts to overcome the constraints where Vehicles swap low state charge batteries for charged ones at Battery Swapping Stations (BSS). A Battery Swapping Stations (BSS) is a charging place/fuelling station equipped with number of standards and certified charging units and battery swapping robots. A BSS has a certain amount of battery inventory of fully charged batteries of different sizes and types thus providing a faster and intermediate service to the customer looking for recharging their batteries. This paper studies the challenges and opportunities for the use of BSS in India.
