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

I have chargers installed at my work place location. Never works on first attempt.. sometimes after moving my car around to 3 or more locations, I may find one that works. Some of the issues I see: may not detect the vehicle (most common), stops in middle of charging, app thinks charging is complete and I need to move vehicle but in reality charging never started. My 2c to the company would be to focus on fixing these issues first before expanding your network and getting a bad rep!

After my recent update, the notifications on my Pixel 6 NOW work great where they were nonexistent previously. Now, the details of the charge session no longer show in-app. The details panel just lists all zeros as though I haven't started charging when in fact it is charging. I could uninstall and reinstall the app to see if that resets it but I only remember this is an issue right after I plug the charger into my car.

The app has mostly worked fine for me up until today. Now it crashes about 2 seconds after opening every time. I've un-installed and reinstalled and that fixes the problem temporarily, but it stops working after a few times of opening the app. That makes the app useless. From what I can tell, for some weird reason putting my phone onto a wireless charger consistently makes it crash everytime I open the app again. Clearing all app data makes it work again.
