Chennai railway stations now offer battery swapping for electric vehicles

Chennai now has battery swapping stations at 21 suburban railway stations. This aims to support the growing number of electric vehicles in the city. The new stations allow EV owners to quickly swap discharged batteries for fully charged ones, significantly reducing waiting times compared to traditional charging. This initiative aligns with the railway's vision for a greener environment. These facilities are available for various EV types and are located at key stations across Chennai, including Chennai Central and Egmore. The railway expects to generate substantial revenue from this service.
