Battery Swapping Is Finally Coming To The USA, Two Wheels At A Time
Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
New York City launched a successful pilot of public battery-swapping stations for e-bikes in 2024, with e-bike battery fires linked to 30 deaths and 400 injuries between 2022–2025; Swobbee announced in February plans to install 25 swapping stations around NYC, with the first now operational.
Rollout remains early-stage and limited to NYC; broader US adoption of battery swapping for larger EVs has faced headwinds.
