AMPECO LIVE · EPISODE 2
Making Charging Effortless For Everyone:
Live with Voltality
Voltality founder Kristoffer Jacek Soh joins live from Singapore on why EV charging belongs inside the apps drivers already use, alongside dedicated CPO apps.
Inside: the founder story, VoltNet, the super-app integrations, and what’s actually working across Southeast Asia.
May 28, 2026 | 13:00 CET / 18:00 SGT | 60 minutes
What We’ll Talk About
A live conversation on the shift from early-adopter to mass-market EV charging, why the standalone EMSP model can’t keep up, and how a roaming layer built into the apps drivers already use is reshaping Southeast Asia.
From Vending Machines to EV Roaming
How Jacek expanded an IoT vending machine business into EV charging during the pandemic, and the gap he saw in Singapore’s Green Plan no one else was solving.
Early Adoption Phase is Over. Mass Market Is Different
Why the driver who changed their life for the EV is being replaced by the driver who expects the EV to fit their life, and what that flips for every CPO, EMSP, and OEM.
Why the Standalone EMSP Model Doesn’t Scale
Why standalone pure EMSP apps can’t outspend super apps to win mass-market drivers. The discovery paradox: Singapore has more chargers per EV than China, yet drivers say there aren’t enough. And why fleets and OEMs route around third-party apps.
Inside VoltNet: Southeast Asia’s Roaming Layer
The cross-network roaming layer Voltality has built across Southeast Asia. Why it succeeds where peer-to-peer CPO roaming struggles, and what CPOs get when they join.
Inside the Super-App Playbook
How Voltality embeds charging into Southeast Asia’s most-used super apps, what it changes for commercial fleets and consumer drivers, and what this approach signals for EV charging distribution everywhere.
Five Markets, One Region: What’s Next
Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam. Where mass-market EV adoption has arrived, where it hasn’t, and Jacek’s five-year read on where the region is heading.
Meet the Guest
Jacek co-founded Beep Technologies in 2018 as an IoT transaction platform with an initial focus on vending machines, then expanded the business into EV charging in 2021 after Singapore announced its Green Plan 2030 target of 60,000 charging points.
Today, Voltality, Beep’s EV arm, runs Southeast Asia’s largest cross-network roaming platform, connecting more than 20 charge point operators to leading OEMs, navigation partners, super-apps, fleets, and mobility providers across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, with further expansions in the works. The company is backed by numerous institutional and strategic investors, including Granite Asia (formerly GGV Capital), which led an oversubscribed Pre-Series A in 2024. Jacek was named in Forbes Asia’s 30 Under 30 Class of 2024, and Tatler Asia’s Generation T 2025 list of next-generation regional leaders.
About Voltality
Making Charging Effortless For Everyone.
Voltality operates VoltNet, an eRoaming platform with a “Google Translate” approach that connects EV charging networks across Southeast Asia, supporting a broad range of protocols across OCPI-compliant, OCPI-derivative, and fully custom APIs. One credential works across every charge point on the network: drivers find, navigate to, and pay for charging inside apps they already use, including the region’s largest super apps and OEM in-car systems. CPOs join VoltNet to extend their networks to new driver audiences beyond their existing user base in their own apps. Voltality also operates VoltPOS for pay-at-point payments at the station and VoltNow for QR-based ad-hoc charging without sign-up.

Yes. All registrants receive the on-demand recording after the live session.
Can I ask questions during the session?
Yes. The session includes a live Q&A where you can put questions directly to Jacek.
This episode focuses on Southeast Asia. Is it relevant if I operate elsewhere?
Yes. Jacek discusses driver behaviour shifts, super-app integration, and the standalone EMSP problem, patterns that apply to every charging market moving from early-adopter to mass-market scale.
