Forgot to mention the security features like when the scooter is stolen. After the stolen scooter is reported and the thief uses the swapping station, the swapping station will detect the battery of the stolen scooter and will automatically disable the scooter. Not sure how but probably the station will not release a new pair of batteries for the stolen scooter.

We really need standardized charging ports and swappable batteries

For now, yes! Karan was going gaga over it.

That's a great idea. It will have to be priced low so delivery drivers can earn a living. I like the idea that the scooter platform is being used by multiple companies so that further reduces production costs.

I've watching Yulu closely, and they've started renting spaces in Delhi for battery swapping centres. This is definitely the future. I think we'll have cloud swapping centres catering to multiple brands, just like cloud kitchens. Some for the smaller batteries, and then some centres for the bigger batteries.

For India, just swapping would not be the ideal game.... India is so wide and large , it's impossible for any scale of company to implement swapping that would be useful for everyone. Ideal approach would be swap+charge.

But this is India right ? We have even mugs in toilet chained in the trains LMAO How are they going to protect the batteries from Indian public ?
