ADS-TEC Energy joins e-mobility consortium

ADS-TEC Energy, developer of battery-based energy storage and fast-charging systems, announced it has joined the Alabama Mobility and Power (AMP) Consortium. The organization was founded through a partnership between The University of Alabama, Alabama Power, and Mercedes-Benz U.S. International to create a premier research and development institute for electric vehicle (EV) and mobility innovation.

As a consortium member, ADS-TEC Energy joins industry, government, and academic partners to advance next-generation mobility solutions. The organization’s headquarters, the AMP Center, is a hub for innovation, research, and economic development focused on EV technology, charging infrastructure, battery manufacturing, and power systems. The AMP Center supports research and workforce development to strengthen Alabama’s position in the evolving transportation and energy landscape.

“We’re excited to welcome ADS-TEC Energy as a partner of the AMP Consortium. Their expertise in ultra-fast charging and energy storage technologies adds a critical dimension to our work advancing the EV infrastructure of tomorrow,” says Brad Whisenant, consortium development manager, AMP Center. “This partnership strengthens our shared commitment to innovation, collaboration, and positioning Alabama as a leader in the battery and charging technology space.”

ADS-TEC Energy’s U.S. headquarters for its battery-based, ultra-fast EV charging systems is in Auburn, Alabama. The company expects to expand its presence there in 2025 to meet the increased demand in the U.S., as well as support for new and existing installations. Through its new collaboration with the AMP Center, ADS-TEC Energy will leverage the facility for product testing and validation, while working with other consortium members to drive EV adoption and advanced charging techniques across Alabama and the entire United States.

“It’s an honor to join the consortium and collaborate with like-minded organizations in building technologies for a more sustainable future,” says Jason Powers, vice president, North America, ADS-TEC Energy. “Alabama is a major player in creating modern mobility and power technologies, developing charging infrastructure, and managing power delivery to support large-scale growth in electric vehicles, and the AMP Center is the central hub for much of this innovation. We look forward to contributing our expertise in storage systems and advanced charging technologies as well as collaborating with other members.”
