Our take
The number of electric vehicles on North American and European roads has skyrocketed in recent years. One of the major hurdles to their widespread adoption however is the inconvenience of maintaining a full battery pack compared to filling up gas-guzzling cars.
Ample’s solution is relatively straightforward: instead of an EV pulling up to a charging station to get more power, the company proposes outfitting vehicles with Ample’s modular battery packs, which can be swapped out at dedicated stations.
The company is focused on partnerships with electrified fleet operators. For these companies, recharging time is lost money. That’s perhaps how Ample has already secured impressive partnerships in Europe with Uber and Sally.
It’s not clear that a replacement will win over recharging for electric car batteries in all contexts. However, it is a fair bet to make that in at least a sizeable number of cases, Ample’s technology will be sought after by many mobility providers.
