The vehicle is designed to meet the growing demand for zero-emission urban deliveries and commercial fleets. The e.Xpress aims to address the main focus areas for commercial fleet managers including uptime, charging speed and residual value by offering a universal battery swap solution that is intended to be as fast and as convenient as fuelling conventional vehicles. 

The solution is the result of a strategic cooperation between e.GO and Ample – a San Francisco-headquartered technology and energy solution provider that uses autonomous robotics and modular battery structure to enhance energy delivery for electric transportation.

The e.Xpress will be available with the exchangeable battery and depending on the selected configuration is expected to offer an urban range of up to 230 km (143 miles) and a battery exchange time of just a few minutes. It will be offered to customers, businesses, and fleet operators both with the battery being included in their purchase or alternatively with a subscription model, where the customer does not need to purchase the battery, subscribing instead to the energy delivery and utilisation.
