Strategic Partnership Between EVerged and AMPECO Aims for 5,000 EV Charging Points Across North America

A Game-Changing Partnership in EV Infrastructure

In a significant move for the electric vehicle (EV) industry, EVerge, a leading energy technology company in North America, announced its collaboration with AMPECO, a prominent provider of EV charging management platforms. This strategic partnership marks a pivotal step towards enhancing the EV charging landscape by deploying over 5,000 charging stations across both public and private networks in just two years.

This initiative comes at a critical time, addressing the industry's pressing challenge of charging reliability—a major barrier to EV adoption. By leveraging AMPECO's advanced software platform, EVerged aims to ensure that electric vehicle drivers experience minimal downtime and consistent charging availability. The partnership will specifically utilize AMPECO’s platform to monitor charging stations in real-time, providing immediate solutions when issues arise, thus improving overall operational efficiency.

Addressing Industry Challenges

As the demand for sustainable transportation solutions accelerates, charging station reliability becomes a paramount concern. Typically, charging stations can be offline for extended periods, causing frustration among users and impacting revenue. To combat this, Peter Ruzich, COO of EVerged, emphasized the importance of AMPECO's platform. He stated, "AMPECO's platform gives us instant visibility when chargers go down and resolves most issues remotely, dramatically improving our operational efficiency."

The collaboration initially took form in San Diego, California, where EVerged managed the public charging network. The city council approved plans to expand this network by adding hundreds of new stations over the next five years, aiming for a total of approximately 4,000 charging points—2,500 public and 1,500 municipal. This project showcased AMPECO's capabilities and laid the groundwork for EVerged’s ambitious national expansion that targets major metropolitan areas throughout the United States.

A Vision for the Future

The strategic partnership is not just about immediate growth; it reflects a broader vision for the future of clean transportation in North America. Jefferson W. Smith, CEO of EVerged, remarked, "This partnership marks a turning point in how we approach EV charging at scale. By integrating AMPECO's powerful platform, we're eliminating the reliability issues that have plagued the industry and building a foundation for EV infrastructure that is resilient, scalable, and driver-first."

AMPECO’s platform goes beyond simple charging management by offering features such as real-time monitoring, remote diagnostics, and analytics for proactive customer support. This means that around 70-80% of technical issues can potentially be resolved without the need for costly in-person visits.

Additionally, EVerged plans to transform charging stations into customer engagement tools through built-in promotional capabilities, including initiatives like free charging periods aimed at boosting utilization and enhancing user experiences. With features allowing customized reporting and partner management, the collaboration is poised to meet diverse stakeholder needs effectively.

Industry Impact and Moving Forward

Michael Greenberg, Senior Vice President of Growth at AMPECO, acknowledged the importance of this partnership, stating, "EVerge exemplifies the forward-thinking companies driving change in North America's EV charging landscape. Their focus on reliability and driver experience aligns perfectly with our mission to provide flexible, scalable software for successful EV charging operations."

As the EV industry faces ever-increasing demands for infrastructure, this partnership not only aims to solve current reliability challenges but also sets the stage for accelerating the adoption of sustainable transportation across North America. With EVerged’s plans for rapid expansion and a commitment to excellence, the collaboration represents a promising future for EV drivers and the environment alike.
