U Power Launches AI-Integrated Battery-Swapping Station in Thailand

Jul 21, 2025
U Power Limited has inaugurated Southeast Asia's first AI-integrated battery-swapping station in Phuket, Thailand, designed for electric taxis and ride-hailing fleets.

U Power Limited has inaugurated Southeast Asia's first operational AI-integrated battery-swapping station in Phuket, Thailand, announced in a press release. This station, known as the Thailand Station, is designed to serve electric taxis and ride-hailing fleets, marking a significant milestone in the region's transportation infrastructure.

The Thailand Station is the first fully operational 24/7 smart battery-swapping station in Southeast Asia, developed under U Power's joint venture with SUSCO Public Company Limited. It supports battery swaps within minutes and is compatible with multiple vehicle types, including future autonomous vehicles. The station is also weather-resistant, designed to withstand Phuket's tropical climate.

This initiative follows U Power's delivery of Southeast Asia's first battery-swapping compatible taxi fleet in May 2025. The station integrates U Power's Battery-bank system, allowing EV drivers to earn battery-tokens through swapping activities. This innovative model is expected to expand as more stations are deployed and additional compatible EVs enter the market.

Tensordyne

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system. It examines infrastructure requirements for large mixture-of-experts and agentic models, compares major inference architecture approaches, and details the TDN AIP processor, TDN72 pod, TDN Link fabric, and Napier Ultra configuration. The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
