Your Battery is Too Big

When most people look at an EV, the first question they ask is:
“What’s the range?”
That's fair, as we are constantly bombarded with headlines like:
"Battery breakthrough promises 1,000km on a single charge!”
“New EV travels 800km on a single charge”
However, range is only half the story. The real question isn’t how far an EV can go—it’s how efficiently it gets there.
Think about it. When you shop for a petrol car, you don’t obsess over how far it can go on a full tank—you look at fuel efficiency. Kilometers per liter. Cost per trip. Why should EVs be any different?
In the electric world, we call it energy efficiency—measured in:
Wh/km (watt-hours per kilometer)
kWh/100km (kilowatt-hours per 100 kilometers), or
Wh/mile (if you’re weird like that)
Real World Impacts of Efficiency
Now, let's compare our SANY FR601 with our competitor's offerings to see how efficiency affects you.
That’s nearly S$4,000 more per year—for the same job.
Efficient Design is Key
Anyone can slap together a battery, inverter, and motor and call it an EV.
But building an efficient EV? That’s an art.
It takes:
Precision-engineered hardware (motors, inverters, thermal systems)
Smart software (throttle mapping, regen tuning, energy management)
Relentless testing and iteration
If your goal is to save money, reduce downtime, and run a smarter fleet—Efficiency is your north star. Range is just the shadow it casts.
At EcoSwift, we don’t just sell EVs. We engineer solutions that earn their keep.
Let’s talk. We’ll help you find the right fit—without the fluff
