ZEV-UP Webinar “Small vehicles, Big impact”

The 2Zero project ZEV-UP will hold its first webinar titled “Small vehicles, Big impact: Exploring ultracompact BEVs and battery swapping for smarter and efficient urban mobility” next 27 May 2025, from 10:00 to 11:30 CEST.

Battery swapping technology offers a flexible energy storage solution, compensating for fluctuations in demand and supply while enhancing the battery electric vehicle (BEV) user experience by eliminating charging waiting time. In the EV industry, long driving range is a criterion for comparing different vehicles, as it is very significant for ease of use and comfort. While higher capacities for the battery mean a longer vehicle range, some car classes do not have the space and mass required for bigger batteries. Swappable batteries provide an alternative for these smaller-sized vehicles.

Co-funded by the European Union and UKRI, the ZEV-UP project is developing a frugal, modular EV prototype to improve EV technology in vehicle design and charging solutions. This webinar will present the project’s concept of swappable batteries, explore future market and technology solutions, and future regulatory considerations for accelerating EV adoption.

The event will feature insights from ZEV-UP partners and external experts, offering a comprehensive view on the role of battery swapping in the future of electromobility and sustainable urban mobility.
