Commercial fleet electrification is a complex challenge, but Japan's top automakers are stepping up to tackle it. Ample is partnering with Mitsubishi Fuso Truck and Bus Corporation to install a series of battery swapping stations in Japan to support the electrification of commercial fleets. For commercial vehicles, downtime = lost revenue. That's why these partners are investing in a model that delivers a full charge in five minutes, can be installed in just three days, and does not require costly grid updates. A practical step forward, powered by public and private collaborations. More from Peter Lyon via Forbes: https://lnkd.in/d9VCrufz #electrification #evinfrastructure #batteryswapping

In the world's biggest city, every square meter counts. That’s why Ample’s battery swapping stations are built for dense urban environments, taking up just two parking spots and requiring three days to assemble. It’s a practical approach to scaling EV infrastructure without adding congestion—and a smarter way to power urban mobility.

Tokyo’s commercial fleets don’t have time for lengthy EV charging. We’re helping one of the world’s busiest delivery markets stay efficient with 5-minute battery swaps. Our stations make swapping as convenient and fast as refueling with gas. It’s a smarter, faster path to electrifying high-demand vehicles in a city that needs to keep goods and vehicles moving.

Japan has long been a global leader in automotive innovation, but electrifying commercial fleets in dense urban environments remains a major challenge. Ample’s work in Tokyo will tackle one of the world’s most complex EV charging landscapes—tight grid capacity, limited space, and high commercial vehicle demand—while keeping delivery vans and medium-duty trucks moving efficiently. In Will Girling’s latest deep dive in Automotive World, he calls Japan “a significant opportunity for battery swapping”—and Ample is proving why, starting in Kyoto and now Tokyo. We’re helping unlock Japan’s next chapter of mobility. #BatterySwapping #EVCharging #Ample #CleanEnergy

Tokyo is a city that moves millions of people and goods through a very dense urban environment, making both space and power supply key challenges to electrification. We’re helping the city expand its EV infrastructure by blanketing the city with battery swapping stations to power commercial EVs. Our stations will provide seamless, five-minute battery swaps—cutting downtime and bypassing the challenge of high, sudden power demands on the grid by drawing a lower, constant load to recharge battery packs in the background—making it easier to deploy stations anywhere, in just a few days.

Tokyo has long been a hub for automotive innovation. But even this powerhouse city is facing the same challenge as many others – the need for faster, more efficient EV charging infrastructure. We’re here to change that. With support from the Tokyo Metropolitan Environmental Public Corporation, we’re rolling out a series of battery swapping stations across the city. This initiative will bring a scalable, zero-emission alternative to gas stations—helping Tokyo move closer to its goal of cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030.
