2025 in review: A year of scale, trust and global impact

A defining year for AMPECO

As EV charging networks grew more complex and geographically distributed, the demands placed on EV charging management software shifted from feature completeness to operational resilience, scalability, and long-term adaptability.

Against that backdrop, charging ports managed on the AMPECO platform grew to 230,000 by the close of 2025 as major EV charging networks put their confidence in AMPECO as a long-term technology partner.

Throughout 2025, we focused on delivering what enterprise operators need most: technology that scales without compromise, partnerships built on operational reliability, and deep collaboration on the challenges they face every day.

This is a look back at what we achieved over the past 12 months, and a glimpse into what lies ahead.

Why market leaders chose AMPECO in 2025

In 2025, large-scale and ambitious EV charging operators turned to AMPECO for the flexibility, customization, and operational resilience their businesses required.

We worked closely with market leaders such as INDIGO, redefining the intersection of parking and EV charging; Ignitis-ON, enabling a unified, multi-country EV charging network tightly integrated with energy markets and utility operations across the Baltics; and Wattif, supporting consolidation in a maturing and increasingly competitive market. These organizations share a common need for flexibility and deep customization and they chose AMPECO to deliver it.

This same need for operational flexibility and control played out across markets and use cases throughout the year, with partnerships including E.ON Czech Republic, AGL Energy in Australia, Latitude in Italy, EVerged in the US, Flexis in France, Eleport in Estonia, Zapgo in the UK, Singer Electric in New Zealand, and others, spanning public charging, fleet and logistics, urban and residential use cases, and energy-led deployments across multiple continents.

Replaced legacy systems with confidence

A defining theme of 2025 was migrations to the AMPECO platform.

More than a dozen EV charging network operators, many of them large-scale, established players, made the strategic decision to move away from in-house solutions and legacy CPMS platforms that couldn’t keep pace with their operational complexity or long-term ambitions.

Platform migrations are about far more than switching software. They are about ensuring continuity for end users, protecting revenue streams, and minimizing risk while unlocking new capabilities for long-term growth. In every case, our teams worked closely, often on site, with customers to plan, execute, and deliver a setup that was better than what they had before.

Built platform capabilities in three critical areas

In 2025, AMPECO continued to invest in the capabilities that matter most to enterprise-grade EV charging operations: scalability, flexibility, and operational efficiency.

Customization became a competitive advantage. Network operators needed dashboards tailored to finance teams tracking EBITDA, operations teams monitoring uptime, and partner networks managing their own fleets. We replaced static admin interfaces with dynamic, role-specific dashboards and expanded white-label mobile app customization, so CPOs could adapt registration flows, authorization logic, and subscription management to match their unique business models.

Energy flexibility moved from theory to revenue. As CPOs recognized the value of demand response, grid services, and dynamic load management, AMPECO became the bridge between mobility and energy markets. We enhanced DLM capabilities and integrated with energy optimization platforms like DREEV. The platform now sits at the center of a CPO’s ability to monetize energy intelligence, not just sell kilowatt-hours.

Operational reliability at scale required automation. Fast-growing EV charging networks cannot scale if they rely on manual processes. We built centralized firmware management, automated session validation to catch billing errors before they reach customers, and streamlined installation and maintenance workflows, reducing the operational overhead that stalls scale.

Every product decision was guided by a single principle: to help our customers run better, more resilient, and more profitable EV charging operations at scale, not only today but in the years ahead.

The journey from platform to ecosystem

We took a significant step in the evolution of AMPECO as a platform with the introduction of the AMPECO Marketplace, a natural extension of our vision to enable network operators to capture more business opportunities faster and create more value for their customers, partners, and internal teams.

AMPECO has always been designed as a foundation on which EV charging providers can build differentiated services. While our APIs are a powerful tool to enable integrations, automations, and customizations, we recognized the need to make this extensibility faster, more accessible, and easier to scale. The Marketplace addresses this by offering a curated catalog of ready-to-use apps that can be activated directly within the AMPECO platform.

However, the ecosystem extends far beyond integrations. It’s built on trusted partnerships across hardware, roaming, and specialized software providers – relationships we’ve cultivated over the years to give customers access to pre-vetted solutions, seamless interoperability, and often preferential terms. 

This year, on the hardware side, we deepened integrations with leading manufacturers, including Autel, Peblar, i-charging, Ekoenergetyka, Zerova, and Elinta Charge, ensuring customers can deploy and scale with confidence across regions and use cases. We expanded roaming connectivity through hubs like ENAPI, enabling a broader network reach and seamless driver experiences. We also collaborated with specialized partners, including AmpAssist, Zoniq, Atender, and UCC, thereby extending the platform’s capabilities in areas where operational depth and local expertise matter. Equally important is the expertise we can offer our clients, such as consultative support on hardware selection, regulatory compliance, and operational strategy. 

The result is an ecosystem that works as a unified system: the more deeply customers engage with it, the more value they unlock, through capabilities, efficiency, and strategic advantages that would be difficult to replicate elsewhere. It’s what allows operators to move faster, differentiate more easily, and scale without compromise.

Shaping policy before it shapes the market

As the EV charging industry matures, policy and regulations are no longer a backdrop; they are a defining force shaping how EV charging networks are built, operated, and scaled.

Over the past 12 months, AMPECO significantly deepened its role in industry advocacy and regulatory engagement, contributing expertise across Europe, the US, and globally. From sitting on boards to chairing policy work, this evolution reflects both the trust we’ve earned and the responsibility that comes with it. Our involvement spans three core pillars: industry alliances, regulatory engagement, and sustainability and ESG, ensuring that policy discussions are grounded in real-world operational experience.

In 2025 alone, this engagement included:

• More than 20 meetings with US Congress representatives, as part of a CharIN delegation, advocating for the preservation of EV charging tax credits

• Six bilateral meetings with Members of the European Parliament, conducted through industry alliances

• Technical expert meetings with the European Commission focused on the implementation of AFIR

• Active participation in board-level discussions within organizations such as E-Mobility Europe and spearheading joint industry initiatives, including the #TakeChargeEU campaign.

Crucially, AMPECO’s regulatory engagement is tightly connected to the operational realities of charge point operators and e-mobility service providers. Through public consultations, hearings, and collaborative initiatives with ecosystem partners, we strive to ensure that legislation accurately reflects the technical, commercial, and operational aspects of EV charging at scale.

In the UK, AMPECO joined ChargeUK as an Industry Associate, strengthening our direct involvement in shaping one of the world’s most advanced EV charging markets and reinforcing our long-term commitment to UK operators. Across Europe, we became an active member of eViolin, contributing hands-on expertise to working groups focused on interoperability, roaming invoicing, VAT complexity, data quality, and security—critical foundations for cross-border charging at scale.

The result is tangible impact for our customers: reduced legal risk, clearer paths to market expansion, and the ability to operate across diverse regulatory environments using a modular, future-ready framework.

Our teams traveled to 83 cities across 62 countries on four continents, participating in industry events and conferences, where the future of EV charging is actively being shaped. From flagship events such as Intercharge Network Conference (ICNC) in Berlin to leading regional and global forums including Power2Drive in Munich, MOVE America in Detroit, ACT Expo in California, Nordic EV Summit in Norway, EVision in Brussels, and EV38 in Sweden, EVIS in Abu Dhabi and EV Charge Live Thailand and All Energy Australia, we engaged directly with customers, partners, and industry peers around the world.

These moments matter. They allow us to listen closely, exchange practical insights, and stay deeply connected to the local realities, regulatory dynamics, and operational challenges shaping EV charging markets globally.

Grew the company behind the platform

AMPECO closes the year with 200 employees, reflecting growth not just in size, but in expertise and capability. Over the past 12 months, more than 50 new colleagues joined the company and 27 new roles were introduced as part of ongoing organizational evolution.

This growth was intentional. We strengthened leadership and expertise across priority markets and capabilities, doubling down on regions such as the UK, the US, and Southern Europe, expanding enterprise customer support, and investing in areas critical to long-term scale. New hires brought mature industry experience and reinforced core competencies, including enterprise delivery, data architecture, and AI-driven development, ensuring AMPECO continues to scale in step with its customers.

Culture and life inside AMPECO

Our Summer Summit, Making Waves, and year-end “Back to the Future” Summit allowed us to pause and carve out space for strategic alignment, cross-functional collaboration, and open conversations about innovation, market maturity, and the future of EV charging. Leadership keynotes, deep-dive sessions across revenue, client services, product, and policy, and team-led discussions reinforced a shared understanding of how every role contributes to the platform, the ecosystem, and our customers’ success.

Beyond summits, team-building activities, family and outdoor events, and charity initiatives throughout the year helped strengthen bonds across geographies and teams. These efforts matter not only for those working at AMPECO, but also for our customers. A strong culture translates directly into better partnerships, stronger delivery, and a shared sense of pride in what we are building together.
