Bounce becomes the first Indian energy infrastructure company to register 10 lakh battery swaps on its energy infrastructure network, - Bounce Infinity. Talking about the Infinity battery swapping stations in detail, they will have charged and ready-to-go batteries that customers can easily swap with their near-empty batteries within a few minutes. This infrastructure is beneficial for the customers as they will not have to wait for the scooter to get charged.

The recently launched Bounce Infinity E1 comes with ‘Battery as a service’ option which is first-of-its-kind in the Indian market. The customers can either purchase the scooter with battery or without battery. This service has literally pushed down the running cost of the scooter by up to 40 percent in comparison to conventional scooters.

“We are glad to announce that our battery swapping network has achieved over Ten Lakh swaps and the Hon’ble Finance Minister’s announcement ties in with our vision that clean, affordable mobility is a fundamental right. This is a vindication of the path that we have pioneered for Bounce Infinity. Government and policymakers have recognised battery swapping and battery-as-a-service (BaaS) as the most effective solution to accelerate EV adoption in India by addressing range anxiety. Bounce Infinity has pioneered and revolutionized the battery swapping scenario and efficiently created India’s largest swappable battery infrastructure”. Our distributed network approach has diverse advantages for consumers, ranging from cost-effective viability to proximity of accessing fully charged batteries every time. Pragmatic aspects of setting up charging infrastructure, for instance, in space-constrained urban areas, can enable affordable and clean mobility at scale,” as commented by Vivekananda Hallakere, Co-Founder & CEO, Bounce.
