Instamart Expands Battery-Swapping Network to Enhance Electric Vehicle Deliveries
Instamart is expanding its battery-swapping station network to support electric vehicle use in last-mile delivery, partnering with Yulu and Yuma Energy. The initiative aims to address challenges like affordable access to electric two-wheelers and charging downtime by installing swapping stations near micro-fulfilment centres or dark stores. The first station opened in Bengaluru, reducing travel and waiting times for delivery partners who typically require two battery swaps daily. Instamart also offers rental cashback incentives to encourage EV adoption.
