These <a href=\"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/ola-electric-launches-the-first-indian-made-lithium-battery\/\">stations are designed<\/a> to replace a depleted EV battery with a fully-charged one in just 5 minutes. The process occurs in a modular drive-through station, allowing EV owners to enter, exit the booth, re-enter, and drive off once the battery has been swapped.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ample: A Whole New Electrifying Experience\" width=\"696\" height=\"392\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5QeQ3VM4A4w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The battery-swapping stations support modular battery technology, enabling them to replace batteries for various EVs, including small passenger cars and large delivery trucks.<\/p>\n<p>Ample claims the stations can be installed at designated locations within three days. The company delivers pre-built sections to the installation site, streamlining the process. The stations can also be stacked in more extensive areas, accommodating multiple vehicles to swap batteries simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>According to Ample, their battery-swapping technology is compatible with any electric vehicle and aims to offer a cost comparable to traditional petrol refuelling. The stations have undergone testing to withstand extreme temperatures and weather conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.electrive.com\/2023\/05\/23\/ample-unveils-next-gen-battery-swap-stations\/\">Elecrtrive<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":13,"featured_media":73032,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,39],"tags":[25776,25777,15669,22711],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73031"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/13"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73031"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73031\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":73033,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73031\/revisions\/73033"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73032"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/livingwithgravity.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
