# GerWeiss FAQ

Our answers to your questions about GerWeiss, fleet electrification, battery swapping, and operations.

Drivers swap depleted batteries for charged ones in under two minutes at GerWeiss swap stations, keeping vehicles on route instead of waiting hours for charging.

To eliminate high upfront costs of EV adoption, GerWeiss utilizes a localized pay-per-use system. Operators pay a variable daily leasing and swapping fee tailored to their location.

Our locally-designed e-trikes are powered by "5-Star Model" batteries capable of 150+ kilometers on a single charge.

Direct fast charging can also be completed in as little as 30 minutes.
