Company mission

To solve a problem that many others experience: owning an electric car without home charging.

Our take

AmpUp was founded to support the transition to electric vehicles, which is a core strategy in mitigating global greenhouse gas emissions. Despite recent advances in EVs, the relative inaccessibility of charging points leaves the vehicles out-of-the-question for many consumers.

The company hosts a charging operating system that simplifies charging for drivers, charging point hosts, and fleets. It does this by connecting EV drivers to charging hosts in the residential, private and public segments, thus enabling more drivers to go electric without worrying about home-charging solutions. Drivers use the company's Driver App to locate charging stations, while hosts use its Charger Management features to determine who uses their chargers and manage the profit they make on charging usage.

AmpUp recently acquired a grant from Connecticut’s Public Utility Regulatory Authority (PURA) which will aid the expansion of its operations in the state. It is also likely to explore expansion elsewhere as it moves to ultimately support the EV transition and meeting of air quality goals throughout the US.
