Stellantis Takes on Tesla with Revolutionary Battery Swapping Stations

Stellantis, the global automaker behind brands like Jeep and Fiat, is partnering with Ample to test a new battery swapping system that could revolutionize electric vehicle charging. Unlike previous attempts, Ample's system uses individually sealed battery modules that can be replaced one by one, allowing for quick and easy battery swaps. The system doesn't require automakers to alter their vehicles, making it adaptable to any shape or size. Stellantis plans to test the system with a fleet of 100 Fiat 500e electric cars in Spain next year, and if successful, could expand the infrastructure for commercial and retail customers.
