Electric vehicles infrastructure firm Spiro has inked a deal with Petrocity that will see it set up battery swapping stations at the oil marketer’s outlets.

Swapping stations allow motorists with EVs to exchange depleted batteries for fully charged ones, thus ensuring continuous and efficient travel without long recharging times at stations. Spiro, which began operations in 2019, currently operates more than 600 stations for swapping EV batteries in Kenya, Benin, Togo, and Rwanda.
