Detailed Review
AMPECO describes itself as a pure software company: it does not own charging stations, sell electricity or compete with its customers for drivers. That positioning is what separates it from hardware makers that also run a network cloud.
The privacy policy names AMPECO Ltd. with company ID 205394857 at a Sofia address. The about page reports more than 300,000 charge points managed in over 70 markets by a team of 200 or more.
Open hardware support
The platform works with OCPP-compliant stations from more than 200 manufacturers. AMPECO says it runs 80+ integration tests and OCPP compliance checks with each customer's stations, and that mixed brands can sit on one site.
Security certifications
The security page lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022 plus 27017, 27018 and 27701, and a SOC 2 Type II audit with annual reviews. Customer data is separated per tenant with distinct databases and keys, and NIS2 measures are described.
Protocols and roaming
OCPP, OCPI and OpenADR are listed as supported protocols, and ISO 15118 enables Plug and Charge and bidirectional charging. A white-label option lets operators ship their own driver app.
Limitations to Consider
AMPECO publishes no prices and its /pricing page does not exist, so cost is only known after a demo. It is built for scaling operators, so a landlord with a dozen wallboxes should look at chargeIQ instead. The security page says hosting spans multiple continents without naming regions.
Who Should Use AMPECO
Scaling CPOs, eMSPs, utilities and parking operators that want a software-only vendor with audited security and white-label options.
