A request is received at a cloud-based server, to unlock the battery from the micro mobility vehicle. Authorisation data is provided, by the cloud-based server, if the user making the request is permitted to unlock the battery at the e-vehicle. Further, methods and apparatus for controlling a self-serviced battery swap station by a cloud-based server are described. In one example battery data may be obtained from a cloud-connected battery swap station and used to generate battery charging control data. In one example, the battery charging control data is sent to the battery swap station.
