Almost half (40 percent) of those in Sweden who own an electric car or plug-in hybrid are frustrated by limitations in being able to charge the car regardless of the operator/provider of charging services without ev charger. By integrating CTEK with AMPECO , it will now be easier for electric car owners to pay for charging without having to have a variety of apps and charging cards.
AMPECO provides an independent platform for managing the charging of electric vehicles. In practice, this means that drivers are allowed to charge their electric cars with a number of apps and cards. The cloud-based platform handles advanced functions for payments and invoicing, operations, smart energy management, and customization through a public API.
Forty percent of those with an electric car or plug-in hybrid are frustrated by limitations in charging the car regardless of the operator/provider of charging services (so-called roaming).
– We see that greater accessibility and easier access to public charging are crucial for more people to switch to electric cars. Access to roaming is also decisive in the decision. By integrating CTEK’s chargers with the AMPECO platform, we support the development of an open and more stable network of charging infrastructure, says Cecilia Routledge, Global Director of Energy & Facilities for CTEK.
AMPECO’s complete electric vehicle charging platform is hardware-based and fully supports the OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol), which is found in all CTEK CHARGESTORM CONNECTED EVSE (Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment) products. It also includes direct EV roaming via OCPI and integration with roaming hubs that allow users to charge their cars on other networks.
– We are pleased to be able to offer our integration with CTEK’s chargers, which gives operators and drivers increased flexibility and choice, says Orlin Radev, CEO and co-founder of AMPECO.
Through the AMPECO app, users can find charging stations, easily connect to hubs like Hubject or Gireve and pay for charging, all through the AMPECO app.
