Automotive giant Stellantis–which owns no fewer than 14 car brands, including Fiat, Dodge, Jeep, and Opel–has partnered with California-based startup Ample to launch a fleet of city cars that can have their high-voltage batteries swapped in about five minutes.
The partnership will see 100 Fiat 500e EVs that operate within Stellantis’ Free2move car-sharing service be retrofitted with Ample’s modular batteries which can then be swapped on a module-by-module basis at the startup’s swap stations.
