  • Kia EV3 Winning World Car of the Year is Old News but Good News - CleanTechnica

    The article highlights Kia’s strong commitment to electric vehicles (EVs), underscored by its recent win of the 2025 World Car of the Year (WCOTY) award for the Kia EV3. This victory marks Kia’s sixth World Car award since 2020, with only one awarded to an internal combustion vehicle, the Telluride. The EV3 impressed judges by successfully translating design and technological elements from the larger EV9 SUV into a smaller, more affordable model without simply downsizing it. Key features contributing to the EV3’s acclaim include its clean, modern design, spacious and flexible interior, a driving range of up to 600 kilometers (375 miles) on a single charge, and rapid charging capability (10% to 80% in about 30 minutes). Advanced driver assistance systems and over-the-air software updates further enhance its appeal. Kia’s EV success is part of a broader electrification strategy called “Plan S,” which leverages the Electric-Global Modular

  • Ample Brings Modular Battery Swapping Technology to Madrid with Support from the Spanish Government and the Moves Singulares Award - CleanTechnica

    Ample has launched its first modular battery swapping stations in Madrid, supported by a €9.76 million grant from Spain’s Institute for the Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDAE). This funding, part of the Moves Singulares award initiative by the Spanish government, aims to accelerate the transition to electric mobility by expanding Ample’s battery swapping infrastructure in Madrid’s city center. The technology enables electric vehicles (EVs) to be fully charged in five minutes by swapping depleted batteries for fully charged ones, offering a fast and convenient alternative to traditional charging and addressing key barriers such as charging time, range anxiety, and infrastructure scalability. Madrid, which leads Spain in EV adoption, is targeting a 65% reduction in emissions by 2030 and supports the national goal of 5.5 million EVs on the road within the decade. Ample’s modular system, capable of rapid deployment in urban environments, is designed to integrate with any EV model and supports high-utilization fleets. The company is
