With John de Souza","description":"On this week\u2019s pod, Nick\u2019s sitting down with Ample co-founder and president John de la Souza to chat about the future of modular battery-swapping technology for EVs.\u00a0\u00a0\nBy swapping rather than charging an electric vehicle\u2019s battery, Ample can deliver a 100% charge in 5 minutes or less \u2014 and with considerable other benefits for the grid.\u00a0\nIs this a push that will help accelerate EV adoption and address common driver pain points? Or is it too much of a burden to develop the infrastructure?\nHow will Ample make its solution more adaptable to OEMs? John and Nick dive into the nitty-gritty details of what implementation looks like and whether it\u2019s a cost-efficient, sensible solution.\n\u00a0\nFind Out More About Ample:\u00a0\nhttps://ample.com\n\u00a0\nFollow John:\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/johndesouza1/\n\u00a0\nIf you love listening to The Keep Cool Show, please leave me a 5-star review on Rate My Podcast: https://ratethispodcast.com/keepcool\n\u00a0\nThank you so much!\n\u00a0\nStay up-to-date on all things Keep Cool: https://workweek.com/discover-newsletters/keep-cool/ or follow Nick Van Osdol on Twitter: https://twitter.com/nickvanosdol\n\u00a0","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300,"thumbnail_url":"https://artwork.captivate.fm/a8f2b1d7-c0c7-4b18-8887-8c6fbc64f959/95cfu1i0avugtf0qgd6rmb3a.jpg"}
