Logging In

A fast, frictionless login designed for fleet drivers—no sign-up, just quick access via verified phone number.

Access to the Ample app is managed through fleet managers, allowing us to eliminate a traditional sign-up flow. Instead, users are uniquely identified by their phone number and verified with an OTP. This approach keeps entry simple while creating an “aha” moment that reinforces Ample’s mission from the start.

Onboarding- At Your Own Pace

Clear, guided onboarding to help drivers confidently use Ample stations from day one.

New users are introduced to the swap experience through a concise, visual carousel that walks through the key steps of using a station. The goal was to reduce uncertainty, build trust in the system, and ensure drivers feel prepared before their first swap, all while keeping the flow quick and non-intrusive.

Assigning a Vehicle

A quick, flexible flow that lets drivers assign their vehicle via search or license plate scanning.

When prompted, drivers can tap a CTA to assign their vehicle. They can either search for it manually or use OCR to scan the license plate for automatic recognition. This dual approach speeds up setup while ensuring accuracy, supporting both convenience and user trust from the start.

Finding a Station

A seamless, map-based experience that helps drivers quickly locate and navigate to the nearest available Ample station.

The map view highlights key station details: availability, operating hours, and distance. To reduce uncertainty and streamline the journey, drivers can mark their intent with an “On My Way” button and receive real-time updates on station status. The design keeps drivers informed, connected, and in control while on the move.

Starting Your Swap

A real-time, guided experience that walks drivers through the swap process from start to finish.

When a driver connects to a station, the app automatically enters Swap Mode, eliminating guesswork and providing step-by-step guidance. From initiating the swap to tracking progress and completion, real-time updates keep drivers informed and confident throughout the experience. The goal: make battery swaps feel simple, predictable, and fun.
