Indraprastha Gas (IGL) has tied up with Pune-based electric vehicle manufacturer Kinetic Green to launch 'Energy Cafe' - a battery-swapping station that will replace discharged batteries of two and three-wheeler EVs with a fully charged one.
Under the alliance, IGL and Kinetic will roll out a deep network of Battery swapping stations, starting with the Delhi region, where a range of electric three-wheelers and electric two-wheelers can avail battery swapping facility. The users can effortlessly install Energy Cafe Mobile App on their phones, locate the nearest battery-swapping station, book batteries from available charged batteries, pay through a digital payment gateway and swap it with a discharged battery at any of the IGL gas stations, paying for only the amount of charge they consume.
Indraprastha Gas is in the business of city gas distribution presently operating in the National Capital Territory of Delhi including adjoining areas of Noida, Greater Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, Meerut (except area already authorised), Shamli, Muzaffarnagar, Karnal and Rewari.
