U Power Launches AI-Integrated Battery-Swapping Station in Thailand

July 21, 2025
U Power Limited has inaugurated Southeast Asia's first AI-integrated battery-swapping station in Phuket, Thailand, designed for electric taxis and ride-hailing fleets.

U Power Limited has inaugurated Southeast Asia's first operational AI-integrated battery-swapping station in Phuket, Thailand, announced in a press release. This station, known as the Thailand Station, is designed to serve electric taxis and ride-hailing fleets, marking a significant milestone in the region's transportation infrastructure.

The Thailand Station is the first fully operational 24/7 smart battery-swapping station in Southeast Asia, developed under U Power's joint venture with SUSCO Public Company Limited. It supports battery swaps within minutes and is compatible with multiple vehicle types, including future autonomous vehicles. The station is also weather-resistant, designed to withstand Phuket's tropical climate.

This initiative follows U Power's delivery of Southeast Asia's first battery-swapping compatible taxi fleet in May 2025. The station integrates U Power's Battery-bank system, allowing EV drivers to earn battery-tokens through swapping activities. This innovative model is expected to expand as more stations are deployed and additional compatible EVs enter the market.
