About this app

EV CHARGING MADE EASY
If you own an EV, you know how frustrating it can sometimes be to charge. AmpUp makes charging easy by enabling building and property owners to provide charging for their residents, workers, or people just passing by – seamlessly and hassle free. People like you!

FIND CHARGERS NEAR YOU
Find chargers nearby or on your route, see if they are available, and even reserve them ahead of time. Bookmark favorite chargers or enable notifications for when an occupied charger becomes available. Discover not only AmpUp powered chargers, but also chargers from other networks.

CHARGE WITH A QUICK SCAN
Just scan the AmpUp QR code on the charger with the app’s QR reader to start your session in seconds. Or check into a charger reserved at a location in advance. Some locations require special access, which you can request from the charger’s host.

PAY IN APP OR SCAN RFID
Pay using a credit card or with a card in your phone’s wallet. Save your payment method so you can charge quickly and easily on any of AmpUp’s thousands of chargers. You can also link your existing RFID card or badge - or request a new AmpUp RFID card - to swipe and charge quickly without your phone.

COMMUNITY POWERED
Each charger host sets the prices and policies for their chargers. AmpUp makes the policies and pricing transparent for drivers, so you can see what charging speed you’re getting and what you are paying per minute or kWh of charging.

REMOTELY MONITOR AND GET NOTIFICATIONS
See how your charge is progressing right on your phone. Get notified when your session is done. Know exactly what you’re paying and how many kWh you have added to your vehicle. See charging session history and receipts.

PRICES AND FEES
Hosts set their own prices and policies, and AmpUp handles payments on their behalf. Hosts sometimes set up idle fees, which promote charger availability by encouraging drivers to vacate the parking space after charging. Get push alerts before idle fees start with a reminder to move your car.

PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT
AmpUp provides customer support for drivers. If you have an issue, our support staff can get back to you within 24 business hours to address your charging or billing issue. Note that prices and idle fees are set by hosts, and AmpUp does not have any control over those fees or policies.

BECOME A HOST
Make money and help take polluting internal combustion cars off the road by installing AmpUp-enabled chargers at your place of work or residence. Charging your car using AmpUp is only the beginning - get the app and become a host!

Ratings and reviews

Absolutely horrible charging solution rip off prices and charger was stuck in my charging port. I could not get it out for the life of me, I practically had to rip it out. I was seconds away from. Just driving off and dealing with the after math of the resulting damage, it would even let the release lock work! Do not use. Deserves to fail.

The station where I work offers faster charging for the price than other chargers, but it ends up being a wash if I can't stop what I am doing and run to my car. The app offers a 'stop session' button and a notice that you will get idle fees eventually. But even after you have stopped the session, it will continue billing you. Even though it has stopped supplying power.

It snowed here 11 days ago, but the base of the charger is still snow-covered and icy. I feel I'm risking injury just to scan the site code and grab the charging cable. I actually took a photo, but it doesn't appear I can upload it. Also, the discrepancy between the mileage your app estimates (31.5) and what my hybrid predicts (18) is substantial. And your local manager is losing money by allowing non-electric vehicles to block the spaces. This seems to happen with some frequency.

What's new

- Improve the customer experience when site hosts set public hours by displaying the public access hours and site host contact information, and more clearly informing drivers that their charge attempt is outside of public hours set by the site host.
