BUILDING THE FUTURE OF ENERGY FOR TRANSPORT
Our business model and technology are designed to fit seamlessly with drivers' operations. Drivers access smart batteries on demand from the network of Ampersand swap stations.
With our solution drivers enjoy the savings of e-mobility without the upfront cost, and risk of buying a lithium battery pack or increasing downtime while waiting for batteries to recharge.
Renting a charged battery from Ampersand saves drivers over $500 per year. Each battery delivers around 60-90 km of range and requires swapping out less often than drivers commonly refuel with petrol. It's all made possible by Ampersand's unique Amper-Ops connected network of smart batteries, swap stations, and a vehicle drivetrain tailored to our customers' needs and African roads.
HOW IT WORKS
1.
Drivers purchase or leases a pay-as-you-drive Ampersand e-moto
2.
When the battery is low, the driver visits an Ampersand battery swap station
3.
Ampersand swaps out the depleted battery for a new battery, the driver pays for the energy used
4.
The driver continues their day, swapping when required
