Hi, I am looking at the economics of a battery swapping business. What would be the GST rate for such service?

More details: The uptake of electric vehicle is increasing. In such case, one business model is to be service provider wherein you take discharged battery from vehicle owner and replace it with a charged battery. My limited understanding is that this kind of business falls under the 'services' category. So what would be the GST on it? Are there any GST incentives available for such business as it facilitates clean energy.
