AMPECO and Zerova have teamed up to deliver advanced electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions across North America, integrating OCPP 2.0.1 for seamless compatibility. This partnership combines AMPECO’s cutting-edge software with Zerova’s reliable hardware, offering scalable and future-ready options for multi-unit dwellings, public spaces, and workplaces. The collaboration enhances EV charging reliability, introduces Plug&Charge technology for easier use, and meets the growing demand driven by state-level EV initiatives. Together, they ensure high uptime and interoperability, setting a new standard for EV charging networks.
Key Highlights:
- OCPP 2.0.1 Integration: Enables smooth communication between Zerova’s hardware and AMPECO’s platform for improved EV charging.
- Plug&Charge Technology: Simplifies charging with automatic authentication and payment for EV charging users.
- Reliable Hardware: Zerova’s AX series, tested via HALT, powers over 100,000 units globally.
- Market Growth: Supports EV initiatives in over 20 U.S. states to boost EV charging availability.
This collaboration brings significant advancements to the EV charging landscape. Zerova’s AX48 charger, delivering 48 and 80 amps, features a modern design with a 5-inch LCD display and supports both OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1 standards, plus ISO 15118 for enhanced EV charging functionality. Certified by CTEP, it meets strict North American compliance requirements. AMPECO’s platform, known for its hardware-agnostic approach, underwent rigorous testing to ensure consistent performance and high network uptime. This thorough process included real-world simulations and close coordination with Zerova’s technical team to optimize EV charging operations.
The introduction of Plug&Charge technology stands out as a game-changer. Drivers can plug in their EVs and start charging without needing RFID cards or apps, thanks to automatic authentication and secure payment processing. For operators, this reduces complexity and boosts customer satisfaction. Zerova and AMPECO’s combined efforts cater to diverse needs—hospitality, fleet operations, and beyond—while addressing the rising demand fueled by state-led EV programs across more than 20 states.
Zerova, a subsidiary of the Phihong Group with over 50 years of manufacturing expertise, has deployed its solutions in over 50 countries. “Our partnership with AMPECO and other OCPP software providers underscores Zerova’s commitment to addressing real-world EV charging challenges for our North American customers,” said Manny Huguez, President of Zerova. Meanwhile, AMPECO supports operators in 65+ countries, offering a flexible, white-label platform. “This strategic collaboration combines AMPECO’s focused software expertise with leading hardware providers like Zerova,” stated Michael Greenberg, SVP of Growth at AMPECO.
With manufacturing hubs in multiple countries and a focus on scalability, Zerova complements AMPECO’s extensive support for over 160 charging network operators. This partnership ensures North American operators can build reliable, efficient, and future-proof Electric vehicle charging networks tailored to their needs.
