U Power launches Southeast Asia’s first AI-Integrated battery-swapping station

U Power (UCAR) announced the inauguration of Southeast Asia’s first operational smart battery-swapping station, located in Phuket Island, Thailand. The commencement of operations at the Thailand Station follows U Power’s May delivery of Southeast Asia’s first battery-swapping compatible taxi fleet. This marks the first deployment of smart battery-swapping stations launched under U Power’s joint venture with SUSCO Public Company. In April 2025, U Power, in collaboration with UNEX EV and CP-MG, delivered its first batch of swappable electric vehicles, now operating as taxis and ride-hailing services in Phuket.
