Swappable batteries are the key to making micromobility work

Over the past few years, shared e-scooters have become more hard-wearing and safer. But a singular challenge remains: the problem of recharging. While the electric vehicle industry grapples with concerns about range, time taken to recharge and charging infrastructure, things are potentially far simpler for micromobility. Tony Günther, Head of eCommerce at Okai’s Berlin Office, explains how interchangeable batteries are improving the industry. I’m a micromobility enthusiast with a vision to improve city transport.
