ZED Motors debuts automated swapping station

From the newsletter

ZED Motors has launched its first automated battery-swapping station in Benin. The design is capable of charging up to 12 batteries at once while supporting packs for both of its models. The firm says it plans to partner with petrol stations to roll out a nationwide network of swapping cabinets and charging infrastructure, enabling faster nationwide expansion.

• Automating battery swapping removes the need for an on-site attendant, the firm says, cutting labour costs while improving uptime. It also makes each station easier to replicate and operate consistently across multiple locations.

• ZED Motors is scaling charging infrastructure as it grows a fleet. Partnering with petrol stations is a smart shortcut to secure prime sites, reliable foot traffic, and faster rollout without building everything from scratch.
