AMPECO and i-charging partner for compliant DC charging in the United States

We’re excited to announce our strategic partnership with i-charging, an innovative high-power DC charging hardware manufacturer, to deliver fully NTEP/CTEP-compliant charging solutions. While our partnership spans business opportunities globally, the compliance addresses United States regulatory requirements.

Integrating i-charging’s DC hardware with our comprehensive software platform supports Charge Point Operators (CPOs) in meeting the stringent regulatory requirements for commercial charging infrastructure throughout the U.S. market, with particular attention to California’s enhanced standards.

Addressing Critical U.S. Regulatory Requirements

The partnership addresses the now-implemented NIST Handbook 44 (HB 44) requirements for EV charging equipment across the United States. Since January 1, 2025, states nationwide have enforced these metering and pricing transparency standards, with California’s CTEP program maintaining particularly stringent compliance verification.

“With regulatory requirements now fully in effect, CPOs must ensure their networks meet compliance standards. As a trusted CPMS provider, we’re fully attuned to the federal requirements that shape the landscape. Our cutting-edge solution is engineered to seamlessly integrate with NTEP/CTEP standards, guaranteeing a compliant and future-proof approach.”

Advanced Compliance Features

The i-charging DC chargers, which are already CTEP certified and now integrated with our platform, feature advanced displays that deliver real-time pricing information, billing data, and payment processing. This ensures drivers are charged transparently for the energy they use, while enabling CPOs to fully meet key NTEP/CTEP requirements, including:

• Transparent display of all pricing tiers before charging begins
• Continuous display of pricing and running costs throughout charging sessions
• Accurate measurement and recording of electrical output in kWh
• Maintenance of pricing calculations even during internet connectivity loss
• Clear labeling of maximum power output
• Field-testable accuracy verification
• Comprehensive receipts that itemize all charging costs

“Our blueberry DC charging stations featuring multiple charging ports combined with AMPECO’s compliant software create a future-proof solution for the U.S. market. With extensive experience across multiple continents, we’re bringing proven technology to meet the rigorous standards of the American market.”
