Description

The software is used by companies to reduce charging costs and has paying customers. It was founded by Joachim Lohse, a former energy markets consultant at PwC. The cloud-based smart charging systems connect to charging networks, vehicles, and fleet systems to ensure fully-charged batteries and on-time departure of electric cars, vans, or busses. This enables fleet operators to reduce their energy and installation costs for electric vehicle charge points. The company's AI-powered software optimizes the charging of electric vehicles, reducing charging costs by up to 60%. Charging point operators, fleet operators, and vehicle manufacturers are using Ampcontrol to implement intelligent charging and reduce peak demand charges, grid constructions, investments, and total cost of operations.
