Is SUN Mobility worth it versus charging at home?
That depends on how far you ride. Swapping trades a higher per-km tariff for zero charging wait, no upfront battery cost, and no degradation risk - which pays off for high-km gig and commercial 2-wheelers & 3-wheelers. Model your own numbers on the swap-vs-own cost calculator.
