How it works
01
Drive there
Drive there: designed for road use, subject to approval of the delivered car.
02
Track
A focused session of about ten minutes.
03
Swap
Removable energy modules exchanged in the pit lane.
04
Back out
The car returns to the track while the used modules charge off-car.
05
Drive home
Leave with energy, not a queue for a charger.
Batteries are intended to exchange in around three minutes and recharge off-car, so vehicle availability is separated from battery charging time.
Approximately three minutes is the battery exchange target TARGET. It is not a guarantee covering inspection, handover or thermal recovery. The planning rhythm is a 15-minute dispatch slot per run, with ten morning and ten afternoon runs per car. Road use depends on approval of the delivered configuration; route energy, circuit access and a charged set for the return journey must be arranged. No road range or remote swap network is promised.

Lightweight first
MK has built lightweight road and track cars for decades. The electric programme keeps that philosophy: low mass first, responsive torque, and modest energy per session. VDK brings the 48V electric integration, swappable energy system and thermal validation.
