“An electric vehicle can have twice the carbon footprint of a gas car. The way you actually make it good for the environment is by charging it on renewable energy.” Ample co-founder and president John de Souza joined Chris Wedding latest episode of EFI to discuss the changes necessary to make EVs a truly green solution. Tune in for insights into Ample’s mission and a closer look at John's personal journey and motivations: #evinfrastructure #electrification #EV

“Now, we’re actually giving [batteries] to you for free. As long as you pay a subscription over time, we keep advancing the battery and giving you more range,” says Ample CEO and Co-founder Khaled Hassounah. Khaled sat down with Chris Sass and Niall Riddell for a wide-ranging discussion about the practicality of battery swapping, from the benefits of Ample’s battery subscription model for consumers to the development of a battery-swapping ecosystem through OEM partnerships, and everything in between.  Listen to the full conversation in the latest episode of Insider's Guide to Energy #BatterySwapping #ElectricVechicles #ElectricMobility https://lnkd.in/gWhpD_gC  

“The beauty of gas cars is that you can get your gas in it very quickly, and when you can do the same thing for electric, people will be happy to switch.” – Ample President and Co-founder John de Souza on the importance of our 5-minute battery swaps for EV adoption. John recently joined CNN’s Julia Chatterley on First Move for a conversation about current struggles with EV adoption, how battery swapping addresses these barriers, and how Ample has introduced swapping to Japan through our Kyoto deployment.

Japan, let's get started! Excited to launch our operations in Japan starting in Kyoto. Together with our partner ENEOS, we’re announcing the deployment of Ample Modular Battery Swapping stations in Kyoto, Japan. These stations, which are our first deployment to have two drive-through swapping pods side-by-side, will be utilized by several fleet partners including MK Taxi, the largest taxi fleet in Kyoto and has a strong commitment to advancing electrification. And more fleets will be coming online shortly, stay tuned! #ev #evinfrastructure #electrification

From long charging times to range anxiety, barriers continue to threaten the mainstream adoption of electric vehicles. Thomas Carter writes about how battery swapping can serve as a solution to these hurdles and spoke with Ample President John de Souza about our five-minute swaps and how OEM partners, like Stellantis, will help bring battery swapping to the forefront.

Last week, we hosted CNBC at our battery module factory in Brisbane, CA where we showcased our state-of-the-art facility. In addition to an advanced automated robotics operation, our team takes it to the next level. We've created an apprenticeship program with the help of the IRA, to build a highly-skilled team that we've trained allowing us to keep manufacturing here in California. #electricvehicles #manufacturing #evinfrastructure #evbatteries

At Ample, we believe in the importance of making electric vehicles accessible to everyone - without compromises. Starting in 2024, Madrid will witness the debut of Stellantis’ 100 Fiat 500e EVs that are compatible with our battery swapping system, offering fleet drivers greater energy efficiency and lower range anxiety. Instead of waiting hours for a charge and losing key time on the road, drivers will be back in action in 5 minutes.

Range anxiety is a big concern for EV owners. Our battery swapping technology can provide a complete charge in under five minutes for EV charging that’s as quick, easy, and cost comparative to filling up at the gas tank. More on how we’re tackling range anxiety in partnership with Stellantis from Allen Root via Barron's: https://lnkd.in/ge2PMRqp #batteryswapping #evinfrastructure #electrification #ev

In urban areas with limited overnight charging, battery swapping will provide a practical solution for city dwellers who need an accessible and quick way to recharge their EVs. First, we’re focusing on fleets and providing swapping for an iconic city car - the Fiat 500e, in partnership with Stellantis.
