Contigo Mobility (CoMo), a pioneering force in electric vehicle (EV) mobility solutions, is excited to announce the launch of its state-of-the-art battery swapping stations across the UK. Beginning in February 2025, these stations will offer a revolutionary alternative to conventional battery charging, providing a seamless and convenient way for EV riders to manage their battery needs.
This expansion represents a significant milestone in CoMo’s journey, marking the company’s transition from its home market in Indonesia to a broader global presence. CoMo’s commitment to delivering innovative EV solutions has already established its reputation in Southeast Asia, and the UK rollout will bring these cutting-edge advancements to the forefront of the European market.
Revolutionising EV Battery Management
The new battery swapping stations are designed to change the way electric vehicle owners manage their battery life. Instead of waiting for hours to recharge their vehicles, CoMoTo fleet riders will now be able to simply swap out their depleted batteries for fully charged ones in just a few minutes. This innovation is aimed at eliminating long wait times and increasing overall efficiency for electric vehicle users, offering a streamlined and quick alternative to the traditional charging process.
“We’re thrilled to introduce our proven battery swapping solutions to the UK market. The experience we’ve gained in Indonesia has shown that this system is a game-changer for EV owners. Not only does it offer tremendous convenience, but it also addresses critical safety and convenience concerns,” said Emilia Tubielewicz, Head of International Relations at CoMo.
A Safer, More Accessible Alternative
The new stations will accommodate CoMoTo’s fleet as well as batteries from other electric motorcycles and electric bicycles, ensuring inclusivity for a broader range of riders. By expanding its reach beyond just electric motorcycles, CoMo hopes to support a wider demographic of sustainable transportation users and help increase the adoption of EVs across the UK.
One of the major safety concerns around EVs is the potential hazards associated with charging batteries at home. There have been multiple reports of house fires caused by unsafe charging practices, making it a significant concern for electric vehicle owners. CoMo’s battery swapping stations are designed with the highest safety standards in mind, featuring fire-resistant enclosures and built-in fire extinguishing systems to eliminate risks and provide peace of mind for users.
“Our stations aren’t just about making the EV experience easier—they are built with the user’s safety as a top priority,” Tubielewicz added. “By offering a safe and efficient solution, we’re reducing the dangers of home charging and making EVs more accessible to everyone.”
Driving Sustainability Through Innovation
As a company, CoMo has always placed sustainability at the heart of its business model. The introduction of its battery swapping stations to the UK is a testament to the company’s commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of transportation. These stations will help drive the transition to more sustainable mobility, supporting the UK’s efforts to reach carbon neutrality.
CoMo’s focus on sustainability and innovation ensures that the company continues to lead the charge in electric mobility. The battery swapping stations will allow EV riders to spend less time worrying about charging and more time on the road, all while supporting the green transition.
The rollout of CoMo’s battery swapping stations will begin in major urban centres in February 2025, with plans for nationwide expansion in the following months. CoMo encourages electric vehicle riders, fleet operators, and the general public to embrace this exciting new way of powering their EVs.
