Battery swap startup Ample<\/a> publicly unveiled its second-generation station design in San Francisco today. This next chapter in US battery swaps is the culmination of thousands of previous swaps performed by Ample, which has now cut its processes down to a mere five minutes.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Ample is a California-based startup that has tasked itself with helping get 1 billion electric vehicles on roads around to world. To assist in this, Ample has developed modular battery swap stations that not only alleviate some grid dependency but can get EVs back on roads more quickly. Per its website<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Ample\u2019s mission is to accelerate the transition to electric mobility by offering an energy delivery solution that is as fast, as convenient, and as cheap as gas while being powered by 100% renewable energy. We are a team of technologists, designers, and environmental enthusiasts who believe that this problem is among one of the most critical challenges of our time.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Others believe in Ample\u2019s technology as well. The startup has raised tens of millions in venture capital in support of its development, including\u00a0$31 million in Series A funding from Shell<\/a>\u00a0back in 2018. <\/p>\n

In March of 2021, Ample\u00a0began deploying its first generation of autonomous battery swapping stations<\/a>\u00a0around San Francisco. Today, the startup has shown The Golden City what it can expect to see in its next generation of swap stations \u2013 designed to be installed more quickly and function even more efficiently. <\/p>\n
