Rolf Nygaard takes the helm as Head of US Sales at AMPECO

We’re excited to welcome Rolf Nygaard to the AMPECO team as the Head of US Sales. With his arrival, we aim to deepen our presence in the US market. With a keen focus on the region’s unique opportunities, Rolf brings invaluable expertise and a fresh perspective. His role will be instrumental in driving our efforts to deliver custom EV charging solutions tailored specifically to meet the needs and challenges of the American market.

A driving force for AMPECO in the U.S.

Rolf’s extensive background in enterprise software sales, coupled with his deep experience in the EV charging sector gained at EV Connect, positions him perfectly to lead AMPECO’s growth in the US. His grasp of the EV charging ecosystem, from charger selection to operations and maintenance, will be invaluable as we seek to innovate and expand.

Leveraging AMPECO’s strengths for the U.S. market

Rolf highlights several areas where AMPECO excels, particularly pertinent to the U.S. market. These include our robust APIs for energy and dynamic load management, the ability to create custom mobile apps, comprehensive solutions for tracking partnerships, revenue sharing, and flexible payment methods for EV charging sessions.

Embracing the pure software approach for a competitive edge

Rolf emphasizes the strategic advantage of partnering with a pure software provider, stating, “While turnkey solutions provide a straightforward path, they lack the flexibility and adaptability that network operators need to stand out and take advantage of the revenue potential of the EV charging market. AMPECO’s platform empowers operators to craft a charging experience that’s not just functional but also uniquely theirs, turning each charging station into a competitive edge.” They can offer unique services, try new business models, and build a loyal customer base. 

Additionally, we support customers who need EV driver help desk support and O&M solutions. This integrated approach delivers the greatest value for our customers by providing a complete solution tailored to their immediate requirements while also equipping them with the necessary resources to scale efficiently.

Owning the EV driver experience with custom mobile app development

AMPECO provides the flexibility to create branded mobile apps, giving network operators full control over the user experience. This capability allows operators to tailor their services to the unique demands of their customer base, offering features such as real-time charging status, location-based services, and personalized user accounts. Further enhancing this proposition, Rolf highlights the development of specific features like an integrated support portal and fleet-specific modules designed to meet the particular demands of the U.S. market.

Optimizing costs with efficient energy management

AMPECO offers advanced APIs focused on energy management and dynamic load management, crucial for optimizing the operation of EV charging stations. These APIs enable network operators to distribute power intelligently, reducing peak demand charges and ensuring a stable grid connection. “This enhances the efficiency of charging networks and significantly lowers operational costs, making it a key advantage for the US market where energy management is a top priority,” says Rolf. 

Maximizing uptime

“Uptime isn’t just a metric; it’s the backbone of operator profitability and customer satisfaction,” Rolf notes. By leveraging advanced diagnostics, real-time monitoring, and proactive maintenance protocols, AMPECO is setting new industry benchmarks for reliability. 

Rolf emphasizes the critical role of detailed uptime reports in qualifying for numerous grants in the U.S., a compliance standard that AMPECO meets. This capability adheres to compliance standards and expands opportunities for clients by unlocking access to additional funding and customer segments. 

Simplifying site host management and B2B partnerships

AMPECO’s EV charging management platform empowers network operators to grow their B2B clients and site hosts, streamline partner relationships, and unlock new opportunities. The reporting tools provide clear insights into earnings, partnerships, and usage statistics, enabling network operators to make data-driven decisions and streamline their business models.

Flexible payments for EV drivers

Understanding the diverse needs of EV drivers, AMPECO offers flexible payment solutions catering to various customer preferences. For instance, the platform supports postpaid subscriptions and prepaid accounts for multifamily complexes, allowing residents to choose the most convenient payment method. 

Applying global insights and best practices to US EV charging solutions

Rolf anticipates accelerated growth in the U.S. market. He notes that the company’s reputation is growing, evidenced by AMPECO involvement in key transactions. His focus extends beyond immediate wins, aiming to cultivate AMPECO as a leading EV charging software provider. 

Rolf’s primary objective is positioning the US as AMPECO’s second-largest market after Europe. By securing large strategic deals and nurturing prospects with growth potential, Rolf plans to navigate the evolving landscape of the U.S. EV charging sector. Recognizing the relative immaturity of the U.S. EV charging market compared to Europe, he sees an opportunity to educate and build trust. He emphasizes the importance of patience, meeting clients where they are, and guiding them towards realizing why AMPECO is the best fit for their needs. 

As AMPECO continues its journey of global expansion, leaders like Rolf are pivotal in shaping our approach, understanding local markets, and driving innovation that aligns with our mission of enabling the EV charging providers of tomorrow through innovative technology.
