SPIRO Rwanda Launches 10th Mega Station to Support 8,000 Daily Battery Swaps
The new station can charge up to 1,600 batteries simultaneously and support more than 8,000 battery swaps daily, according to SPIRO.
SPIRO Rwanda has launched its 10th Mega Station, expanding the battery-swapping infrastructure supporting the country’s growing electric mobility sector.
The new station can charge up to 1,600 batteries simultaneously and support more than 8,000 battery swaps daily, according to SPIRO. The company said the expansion will help improve access to battery-swapping services as it extends its operations beyond the capital into rural areas.
SPIRO Rwanda has deployed more than 40,000 electric motorcycles to date. Its battery-swapping model allows riders to exchange depleted batteries for charged ones, reducing downtime and enabling them to return to work more quickly.
The company highlighted the importance of making battery swaps accessible across different districts, with the goal of allowing riders to complete exchanges in under two minutes. It also pointed to supportive government policies as a factor in Rwanda’s electric mobility development.
The launch highlights the role of battery-swapping infrastructure in scaling electric motorcycle adoption, supporting riders’ daily operations and extending electric mobility services beyond major urban centres.
