Electric Vehicle (EVs) is the most effective solution to energy and environmental problems in the transportation sector. However, EV implementation has several barriers, including limited driving range and extended battery charging time. Battery swapping technology was introduced as a solution to overcome these barriers. EV owners can swap near-empty batteries for fully charged ones through a battery swapping station. Battery swapping assures an uninterrupted driving range for EVs. Various studies have been conducted to support battery swapping technology development. This study aims to identify the development, trends, and research gaps related to battery swapping research. A bibliometric analysis was performed on 376 Scopus-indexed articles. Vosviewer software is used as a tool to assist in conducting analysis. The analysis shows that battery swapping articles were generated from engineering and energy research. Energy is the source with the highest number of publications, and IEEE Transactions on Power Systems is the source with the highest number of citations. The article by Zheng et al. became primarily used as a reference by other articles. Furthermore, the countries that publish the most articles are China, the United States, and India.
