Changan Oshan 520 Pioneers EV Swapping with CATL’s Choco-SEB Battery

Chongqing, China – The future of electric vehicle (EV) convenience is accelerating, with the Changan Oshan 520 leading the charge as the first EV to begin deliveries equipped with CATL’s innovative Choco-SEB (Swapping Electric Block) swappable battery. This marks a significant milestone in the adoption of battery swapping technology, offering a compelling alternative to traditional charging.

The initial rollout has seen the first 1,000 units of the Oshan 520 delivered to a prominent taxi operator in Chongqing, China, signaling a strong move towards electrifying urban transportation. Changan has already secured over 15,000 orders for the Oshan 520 from various corporate clients, underscoring the high demand and practical appeal of this swappable battery solution in fleet operations.

CATL’s Choco-SEB technology promises to revolutionize the EV user experience by allowing for rapid battery exchanges, effectively eliminating range anxiety and minimizing downtime associated with lengthy charging sessions. This development aligns perfectly with Brightvolt’s vision for advanced, efficient, and sustainable energy solutions.

The successful deployment of the Changan Oshan 520 with CATL’s swappable battery sets a precedent for broader adoption of this technology, potentially transforming the EV landscape by offering greater flexibility and operational efficiency for both individual consumers and large-scale fleets.
