Ampcontrol EV Fleet Charging and Energy Management

Ampcontrol is a charging and energy management software company with its headquarters in New York and offices in Erlangen, Germany and Madrid, Spain. It targets operators of electric truck, bus and van depots, logistics hubs and industrial sites, where many vehicles must be charged on time within limited grid capacity. The company reports more than 200 operational sites and 2 million charging sessions a year.

The cloud platform combines an OCPP-based charging management system for AC and DC chargers with smart charging, energy management and fleet management. Algorithms schedule charging around vehicle routes and state of charge, manage oversubscribed grid connections, and coordinate battery storage and solar. Further modules include payments, an alert centre, hardware diagnostics, the AmpEdge local controller, microgrid planning and TCO calculators. Customers include Lidl Netherlands, WattEV, Revel and First Student.

• Charging management system: OCPP 2.0.1 certified server for AC and DC chargers with remote troubleshooting.
• Smart charging: load management, cost optimisation and grid oversubscription control.
• Energy management: joint control of battery storage, solar and grid draw at depots.
• Fleet management: GPS, state of charge and efficiency tracking matched to vehicle routes.
• AmpEdge controller: local edge control that keeps sites running during connectivity issues.
• Planning tools: microgrid services, feasibility, ROI and TCO calculators for depot projects.

An electric bus operator in Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi can schedule overnight depot charging to avoid peak tariffs while meeting morning departures. Logistics companies electrifying delivery vans can add chargers without immediate transformer upgrades. Industrial parks with rooftop solar can coordinate solar, storage and fleet charging.

Fleet operators can charge more vehicles on an existing grid connection through oversubscription and load management, deferring costly upgrades. Charging plans tied to routes and state of charge help ensure vehicles are ready for dispatch. Coordinating storage, solar and grid draw reduces energy costs, and WattEV's Fresno depot went live two years early using Ampcontrol EMS with up to 3.6 MW of flexible capacity.

Electrification of buses, delivery vans and trucks is moving from pilots to depot-scale deployments, where grid connection limits and peak tariffs become the main constraints. Operators increasingly combine chargers with batteries and solar and need software that schedules charging around operations. Similar needs are emerging in Southeast Asia as electric bus and logistics fleets grow.
