Ample Automated Battery Swap Stations Could Drive EV Adoption
Michael Hemsworth — March 9, 2021 — Autos
The Ample automated battery swap stations are a solution to the problem related to electric vehicles when it comes to range anxiety, charging and more. The stations work by making use of a building block-inspired battery system that would enable batteries with little to no charge left to be swapped out in an automated manner. The process would take just 10-minutes, which would make it similar to stopping at a gas station and could thus help when it comes to driving up electric vehicle adoption rates.
The Ample automated battery swap stations are compact with a size that's about as big as two parking spaces and could be easily rolled out to an entire city in a matter of weeks.
