The energy layer for everything that moves.

We separate energy from the machine, so electric fleets run all day.

Founded in 2015 by Radek Janků and Tomáš Veselý, Battswap has developed a complete electric mobility ecosystem for urban logistics: proprietary electric vehicles, automated swapping stations, and fleet management software. Its flagship customer in the Czech Republic is Rohlík.cz, Central Europe's largest online supermarket.
