AMPECO joins DOET to strengthen its commitment to the Dutch EV charging ecosystem 

AMPECO has joined DOET, the Dutch Organization for Electric Transport. DOET represents the companies building the country’s charging infrastructure, electric vehicles, smart grids, and electric mobility, and it gives that industry a shared voice with policymakers, grid operators, and the public.

The Netherlands runs one of the most advanced EV markets in the world. With more than 180,000 public charging points, roughly 10 per 1,000 residents, it has the highest charging density of any country in Europe. For the operators working here, the question is no longer whether EV charging will scale, but rather how to run it profitably, reliably, and at the pace the market demands.

In the Netherlands, that challenge has a name: grid congestion. With the electricity grid near capacity across large parts of the country, operators must extract more value from every connection they hold, making smart charging, load management, and intelligent network operations central rather than optional. These are the questions AMPECO works on every day with the 200+ EV charging network operators it supports across 70+ markets.

At the center of the Dutch EV charging ecosystem

Fastned’s Hugo van Halder chairs DOET and represents companies across the Dutch EV charging ecosystem. Its members and working groups include major industry players such as Vattenfall InCharge, TotalEnergies, Deftpower, Electra, and Alfen. That puts the people closest to the network, operators, and the partners who equip them, at the center of the decisions shaping the market, from grid access and tariffs to standards and the everyday driver experience.

Membership connects AMPECO directly to those conversations and to the people driving them. As the software backbone for operators of all sizes, AMPECO understands the operational realities of running a network at scale, and we want to bring that perspective to the table as the Dutch market continues to mature.

“The Netherlands sets the pace for EV charging in Europe, which is exactly why we want to be in the room. Benelux is an important market for AMPECO, and after joining eViolin and opening our office in Arnhem, becoming part of DOET is a great next step in showing our commitment to the region. DOET brings operators, manufacturers, and grid stakeholders to the same table, and the decisions made there shape how networks are built for years to come. We’re joining to contribute, and to listen to the operators living these challenges every day.”

A commitment to the market

Joining DOET reflects a broader commitment to a market at the heart of where EV charging is headed, and to the operators AMPECO is built to serve. It means helping shape the policies that determine how networks get built, and learning directly from the operators running them.

“Running a profitable and reliable charging network is becoming more complex. Operators are navigating grid constraints, evolving tariffs, uptime requirements, and rising driver expectations—all at the same time. As the software platform behind more than 200 charging businesses worldwide, we see these challenges up close every day. That’s the perspective we want to bring to DOET: practical insights grounded in the realities of operating and scaling charging networks,.”

DOET also adds to AMPECO’s wider corporate affairs engagement, alongside ChargeUp Europe, EV Belgium, and eViolin — the memberships through which AMPECO tracks regulation and market developments and brings its cross-market experience into the conversation.
