A systematic reference on battery swap technology across transportation modes Long charging times, high upfront vehicle costs, and peak-demand grid strain remain barriers in electric mobility. Battery Swapping for Sustainable Transportation examines the technical, commercial, and regulatory dimensions of swap-based solutions. Written by a team of specialists in battery recycling, sustainability consulting, and energy transition, this reference addresses market dynamics, business models, and policy frameworks shaping the sector. The book extends beyond passenger electric vehicles to cover two- and three-wheelers, commercial vehicles, maritime applications, and aviation. It explores interoperability challenges, advanced safety measures, and operational efficiencies at swapping stations. Coverage includes power grid integration, standardized battery condition assessment for used vehicle valuation, and the role of swapping infrastructure in circular EV economy development. Readers will also find: Analysis of how swap infrastructure contributes to decarbonization targets and accelerates the global shift away from fossil fuel dependenceExamination of low-altitude transportation networks and emerging industrial chains enabled by advances in swap station technology and deploymentRegulatory frameworks and international standards shaping swap technology deployment across different regions and transportation sectors worldwideConsumer behavior insights and urban planning considerations relevant to the siting and scaling of swap infrastructure networksAssessment methodologies for battery residual capacity that strengthen transparency and confidence in electric used vehicle resale marketsBattery Swapping for Sustainable Transportation serves materials scientists, electrical engineers, engineers in power technology, environmental chemists, environmental officers, and energy supplying companies seeking a thorough treatment of swap technology, its integration with existing energy systems, and its implications for transportation planning.
