AmpUp and Curo partner to provide game-changing services for EV fleet charging
AmpUp, a leading charging solutions provider, has partnered with Curo, an innovative platform designed to help fleets manage their charging needs. The partnership, based in the US, will unlock EV fleet charging by making it more cost-effective than ever.
Under the partnership, AmpUp will integrate its extensive charging network with Curo’s Virtual Depot platform. This integration allows site hosts to lease out their EV charging stations to fleet operators during off-peak hours, maximising the use of idle chargers. In return, fleet operators gain access to reliable and affordable charging without the need for expensive infrastructure. With the future of US government support uncertain, this partnership is crucial for the industry.
Tom Sun, co-founder and CEO of AmpUp, said
“The complexities of EV charging infrastructure have long been a barrier to widespread fleet electrification. Our collaboration with Curo significantly reduces upfront investment, maximises infrastructure efficiency, and provides our site hosts with new revenue streams while giving fleet operators dedicated access to reliable charging.”
One of the biggest challenges for fleets adopting electric vehicles is the cost of building dedicated charging stations. Additionally, many existing charging stations are underutilised. By leveraging the Curo platform, site hosts can generate additional revenue by renting out their charging spots to fleets during nighttime or other low-traffic hours. Fleet operators can distribute their charging needs across a shared network, saving on infrastructure costs and simplifying their operations.
For fleet drivers, this partnership also offers benefits. With dedicated overnight charging, drivers can avoid range anxiety and ensure their vehicles are always ready for the day ahead.
Kieran White, co-founder and CEO of Curo, commented:
“We chose AmpUp for their proven track record of delivering industry-leading reliability and comprehensive end-to-end support. Our goal is to enable a scalable leasing charging network for distributed fleets. This partnership is a crucial step towards making that vision seamless and scalable.”
Together, AmpUp and Curo are paving the way for a more sustainable, efficient, and cost-effective future for EV adoption across the US. This partnership marks a key milestone in addressing the challenges of fleet electrification at a crucial juncture for the nation’s infrastructure rollout.
