attery swapping is a promising technology for the electric vehicle industry that offers many benefits, including shorter charging times, longer driving range, and cost-effectiveness for fleets and commercial electric vehicles. This technology allows electric vehicle drivers to replace their depleted batteries with fully charged ones in a matter of minutes.
Instead of sitting plugged in for hours at a public charging station, the driver brings the car to the platform and depleted modules are automatically removed and replaced with new modules in just five minutes.
Ample has officially announced a partnership with Mitsubishi to introduce modular battery swapping in electric trucks for last mile delivery.
The original design of battery swapping technology from San Francisco-based battery swapping startup Ample would take 10 minutes. Still, in May, Ample revealed that a second-generation swap station replaced an electric vehicle battery in five minutes.
However, the tec C Level Executive List nology is currently being used on a small scale for ride-hailing vehicles in San Francisco and Madrid.
The partnership will see Mitsubishi's latest electric light-duty truck , Fuso "eCanter", equipped with Ample's modular battery swapping technology with initial deployment in the Japanese market.
Ample's battery swapping technology will soon see Japan's first converted eCanter trucks. It will be ready to fully charge after just five minutes.
The partnership with Mitsubishi works with Japanese energy company Eneos de Ample to implement fleet sharing infrastructure.
The Fuso eCanter electric truck is expected to provide a range of between 62 and 200 miles to extend that range for other driving profiles.

According to Ample's blog post, the initial launch of the swappable battery model will begin in Japan this winter with the new Fuso eCanter.
Both Ample and Mitsubishi Fuso are committed to sustainability and Mitsubishi Fuso aims to achieve a completely carbon-neutral product portfolio in Japan by 2039.
