CTEK is set to roam with AMPECO integration
CTEK is supporting the development of a widely accessible global electric vehicle (EV) charging network through their latest product integration with AMPECO.
AMPECO provides a white-label hardware agnostic EV charging management platform bundled with white-label EV driver apps. Its globally recognized software solution serves companies who need to manage their EV charging infrastructure, processes, and efficient energy usage. The cloud-based platform addresses specific EV charging challenges with advanced features for payments and billing, operations, smart energy management, and customization through AMPECO Public API.
The complete EV Charging Platform suite of AMPECO is hardware agnostic and fully supports the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP), found in all of the CTEK CHARGESTORM CONNECTED EVSE (Electrical Vehicle Supply Equipment) products. It also includes direct EV roaming via OCPI and integration with roaming hubs that allow its users to open their EV charging networks to EV drivers on other networks.
Through the AMPECO app, users can view and access multiple EV charging networks in their area, simply connect to hubs such as Hubject or Gireve and view thousands of charging stations worldwide, at the touch of a button. Customers are also given the convenience of locating, booking, and paying for charge point services, all through the AMPECO app.
Cecilia Routledge, Global Director Energy & Facilities for CTEK said: “EV roaming is absolutely key to the development of a sustainable, accessible global EV network. This is especially so as our research reveals that greater availability and easier access to public and destination charging will encourage more drivers to make the switch, thereby increasing EV adoption overall.
“Every step along the way in building a fully open, future-proofed charging network is a step in the right direction, and we are delighted to play a part in this by integrating CTEK’s chargers with the AMPECO platform.”
The integration will allow CTEK’s CHARGESTORM CONNECTED 2 (CC2) EV chargers to be managed and controlled through the AMPECO platform. And, as CTEK and AMPECO’s hardware and software are fully OCPP (open charge point protocol) compliant, customers can also integrate and manage other manufacturers’ chargers and equipment on the same EV network, and through the same platform.
AMPECO is designed for maximum flexibility. Its sophisticated API (application programming interface) allows customers to integrate all EV charging data with their current systems. It leverages the existing EV charging infrastracture to help them build their own tailored features and solutions on top of the AMPECO platform no matter their use case - home, residential or public charging.
AMPECO CEO & Co-founder Orlin Radev said: “At AMPECO, our mission is to enable our customers to launch and scale EV charging operations quickly and easily. AMPECO and CTEK strive to deliver amazing products and high-quality service. We are delighted to offer AMPECO integration with CTEK’s chargers, giving charge point operators and drivers increased flexibility and choice.”
The AMPECO platform is designed to support complex business models for public or private charging networks. It provides tailored, fully scalable, future-proofed EV charging solutions for charge point operators, electric mobility service providers, fleet managers, energy and utility companies, in fact, any organization, installer, or charge point manufacturer looking to be part of the green revolution through the installation of sustainable EV charging.
CTEK’s CC2 is a state-of-the-art EV charger that’s specifically designed to be safe and easy to use. It’s ideal for home, business, public parking and tenant-owner housing associations, and it meets all the required technical safety standards. It is tested, approved and fully available to integrate with the AMPECO app via OCPP.
