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 around 45% compared to fuel and oil changes. Each battery delivers around 350,000 km of range over its lifetime, and 50-110km per swap depending on the type of usage, the roads travelled, and weight carried. This means drivers need to swap out less frequently than drivers in East Africa typically 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.
Through Ampersand’s Driver App, they check when the battery is low and visit a battery swap station
3.
In less than 2 minutes, Ampersand swaps out the depleted battery for a new one and the driver pays for the energy used
4.
The driver continues their day, swapping when required
