EV Battery Swapping Gains Traction

A startup in California hopes to transform EV charging through leveraging battery swapping technology, aiming to provide a smooth recharging process that is comparable to that of topping up a gasoline tank. Ample, a company based in California that offers battery switching, has commercialized a new, highly efficient swapping station which reduces the time needed for a swap to around five minutes. This is roughly the amount of time needed to fill a gasoline tank and is much less compared to the half hour or more taken to fully charge most electric vehicles at standard quick-charging stations. The prefab points…

Buyers Start Reaping the Benefits of Electric Light Delivery Vans

The auto industry is dominated by electric passenger vehicles. However, light delivery vans could profit more from electric vehicles in terms of operating costs and range advantages. Currently, light commercial trucks make up a very small portion of all electric motor vehicles marketed; however, electric vehicles are quite suited to working fleets of vans in a number of ways. Delivery vans and trucks do not require huge, pricey batteries because they frequently travel fixed distances or well-planned routes every day. The majority of them are able to cover a 100-mile distance prior to another charge. One reason why electric vehicles…
