e.GO Mobile electric vehicle manufacturer announces launch of smart Battery Swap service – the "e.Pit"
AACHEN, Germany, Nov. 3, 2021 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --

-  Solution positions e.GO as one of the only city BEVs that offers smart 
battery swap.
-  It underpins the Company's focus on leveraging innovation to enhance the 
ecological footprint of electric vehicles, mainly impacted by the use of large 
batteries.
-  Unique service is intended to provide e.GO customers with peace of mind and 
comfort in the occasional or unplanned need to drive a longer distance. 

Next.e.GO Mobile SE, the independent German manufacturer of innovative and 
sustainable electric city vehicles, today announces the launch of its smart 
battery swap solution as part of its mission to drive lifecycle sustainability 
in urban mobility. 

Customers, who may find themselves in need of dealing with an unexpected 
occasion that requires a trip longer than usual, could utilize this smart 
in-built feature of their e.GO Life to swap the nearly depleted battery with a 
fully charged one in a designated e.GO battery swap station – the "e.Pit". They 
can pick up their original battery – fully charged – at the same station on the 
way back or later when convenient, however latest within a month. Customers 
remain the owner of their original battery and always stay connected via their 
e.GO app using their unique battery ID. The service will be provided to all 
e.GO customers at no cost for their annual swap quota. The swap procedure takes 
around 60 minutes, which is faster than full charging at any standard public 
charging pole. The company is working to further reduce the swap timing towards 
its goal of nearly 30 minutes in the future. 

The first two swap stations in Aachen factory and Zulpich (Pardemann service 
partner) are fully operational as of today. The next stops in the program are 
Düsseldorf and Hamburg, with more in the pipeline. 

With utmost gratitude!
"At e.GO, we do not consider the Battery Swap just as a smart feature or 
another business stream. Leveraging technology and innovation, this is our way 
of showing utmost gratitude to our customers and e.GO users, who chose to act 
responsibly, care for the ecological footprint of the BEVs and help drive 
sustainable urban mobility. It is our responsibility to provide them with 
comfort", says Ali Vezvaei, Chairman of the Board of Next.e.GO Mobile SE.
