Ample has announced a $25 million investment from Mitsubishi Corporation to expand its battery-swapping technology worldwide. This strategic partnership aims to accelerate the global rollout of battery swapping and advance sustainable energy solutions.
Key highlights:
- Strategic partnership aligns with Mitsubishi’s vision for sustainable mobility.
- Mitsubishi’s commitment to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and reach net zero by 2050.
- Collaboration with major fleets like Yamato, MK Taxi, and Kyoto City in Japan.
- Joint efforts with OEMs such as Stellantis and Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation.
- Expansion of battery-swapping infrastructure to address urban grid limitations and promote EV adoption.
Mitsubishi Corporation is more than just an investor; it is a strategic partner with extensive experience in renewable energy, energy storage, and mobility. Its active support will help Ample scale its battery-swapping infrastructure globally, providing drivers with efficient and reliable energy solutions. This collaboration reinforces both companies’ commitment to sustainable mobility and the realization of cleaner transportation.
With objectives such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 and achieving net zero emissions by 2050, Mitsubishi’s dedication to a cleaner future makes it an ideal partner for Ample. The company has been a leader in electric vehicle advancements since launching the i-MiEV in 2009 and has significantly invested in renewable energy projects, including wind and solar farms, battery production, and recycling. By securing essential materials like lithium and promoting battery recycling, Mitsubishi is driving industrial change and embracing innovation to support a more sustainable world—perfectly aligning with Ample’s vision for greener roads and practical electrification solutions.
Ample’s operations in Japan are progressing successfully, thanks to key partnerships with major fleets such as Yamato, MK Taxi, and Kyoto City. The company has also collaborated with automotive giants like Stellantis and Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation to integrate battery swapping and assist them in achieving their electrification goals.
Working with these partners has strengthened Ample’s mission to provide the same convenience as filling up at a gas station but with energy that is cleaner and greener. By making electric vehicles as easy to use as traditional gas-powered vehicles, Ample is breaking down barriers to widespread electrification and facilitating a smooth transition to sustainable energy.
Ample’s journey in Japan has demonstrated significant demand for practical electrification solutions, especially in dense urban areas where grid limitations and long charging times present challenges. This investment enables Ample to strengthen its position not only in Japan but globally, as it continues to build out its infrastructure and collaborate with original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to support a wider range of electric vehicle models.
With Mitsubishi Corporation’s support, Ample is more motivated than ever to bring its vision to life. “Our technology is already making roads greener, one battery swap at a time.” By working with industry leaders, the company aims to make electric vehicle adoption a reality for more drivers around the world.
