The Noida Authority has announced the launch of 13 electric vehicle (EV) battery swapping stations in collaboration with Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Limited (HPCL). This initiative is part of a broader effort to enhance electric mobility and reduce vehicular emissions in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, India. The battery swapping stations will primarily cater to two- and three-wheelers initially, with plans to include four-wheelers in the future. Each battery will be approximately 90% charged, allowing vehicles to travel up to 200 km. The operational cost for users is estimated at around ₹1 (approximately $0.012 USD) per kilometer. The stations will be strategically located at key sites, including near the Noida Authority office, Ganga Shopping Complex, and various metro stations. This project aligns with Noida's vision of becoming a sustainable and smart city, contributing to improved air quality and reduced dependence on fossil fuels. Additionally, the Noida Authority is set to launch 50 electric buses next month in collaboration with the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC).
