SEVU 21: Battery Swapping for EVs -- Ample Sees a Swappable Future
Manage episode 307643128 series 2900094
Stu speaks with Levi Tillemann, vice president for policy and international outreach at Ample, a battery swapping company. Battery swapping is a very different model of putting power in an EV than what most of us are used to. It’s a system that basically swaps out the main battery pack with a fresh one fully charged when range gets low (instead of visiting an area charging station and plugging in). While battery swapping is successful and plentiful in places like China, it is almost unheard of in the U.S. Ample is a company that is taking a different approach to EV recharging. Will this underdog be successful? In these early EV times, some car companies and charging solutions will succeed and some will fail. Welcome to the EV Wild West, my friends! Exciting times.
