UK-based Charge Point Operator (CPO) Zapgo has announced AMPECO as its EV charging platform provider.
The strategic partnership will enable Zapgo to support its rollout programme, bringing EV infrastructure to more remote locations throughout the UK.
The company’s first flagship site at Cartmel Racecourse in Cumbria is scheduled to launch imminently, with nationwide expansion planned.
Zapgo’s fully funded “Zero cost, Zero effort, Zero risk” model allows property owners to offer EV charging as an additional amenity with no capital investment while generating revenue for property owners from every charging session, it said.
Zapgo’s deployment includes a commitment to becoming an active community partner, and, where possible, working with the local communities, supporting initiatives that strengthen community bonds while promoting sustainable transportation.
After evaluating several Charge Point Management System solutions, Zapgo selected AMPECO for its flexibility, full data ownership capabilities, and operational control, it said.
The platform serves as the central hub for Zapgo’s network management while maintaining seamless integration with the company’s existing technology ecosystem, including partnerships with service providers.
Ross Mabon, COO at Zapgo, said:
“Historically, CPOs felt compelled to build proprietary back-office solutions, but they are not software companies.
“With AMPECO’s white-label solution, we can establish a strong and sustainable EV charging business. This allows us to maintain control over our data, pricing, and costs for the benefit of our customers, and provide accurate information to landlords and finance teams through comprehensive reporting features.”
Jo Moffatt, Head of Network at Zapgo, said:
“Having worked with back-office solutions throughout my career, I’ve gained a solid understanding of the essential functionalities needed to ensure the smoothest customer journey.
“I struggled to find things AMPECO hadn’t thought of already. Everything needed is in place.”
Orlin Radev, CEO at AMPECO, said:
“We are proud to support Zapgo’s mission to bring EV charging to underserved locations across
the UK.
“Our platform’s flexibility and control will enable them to create a charging experience that truly meets the needs of drivers while providing the operational efficiency needed for sustainable growth.”
