We are thrilled to announce that AmpUp has been included on the prestigious Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) Vetted Product List (VPL).

This achievement is a testament to the reliability, functionality, and utility-readiness of the AmpUp platform, marking a key step forward in our mission to make EV charging simple, reliable, and accessible across North America.

Why EPRI's Vetted Product List Matters

For those working to expand electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure, the EPRI Vetted Product List is the gold standard.

Founded in 1972, EPRI is the world's preeminent independent, non-profit energy research and development organization. Their trusted experts collaborate with over 450 companies in 45 countries, driving innovation to ensure the public has access to clean, safe, reliable, and affordable electricity.

EPRI’s VPL is a comprehensive, consolidated resource for utilities, state agencies, and industry stakeholders to vet products and equipment for EV charging deployment. Inclusion on this list means a product has been rigorously evaluated against criteria developed through industry consensus, utility input, and government agency requirements.

Inclusion on the EPRI VPL is critical because it:

• Simplifies Utility and Rebate Approval: Many utility and state incentive programs, which provide millions of dollars in funding for EV infrastructure, require products to be EPRI-listed for eligibility. AmpUp's presence on the VPL helps our customers more easily access these vital funds and accelerate their projects.
• Ensures Reliability and Quality: The rigorous vetting process verifies that the product meets the highest standards for performance, interoperability, and long-term sustainability.
• Streamlines Deployment: By using a pre-vetted solution, charging network owners, fleets, and municipalities can save significant time and resources that would otherwise be spent navigating complex and often slow individual utility approval processes.

AmpUp: Meeting the Demand for a Modern Grid

AmpUp's addition to the VPL is a recognition of our commitment to delivering a charging management solution that benefits not only the station owner and the EV driver, but also the electric grid itself.

Our platform is designed to be fully featured and utility-ready, offering capabilities like advanced load management and seamless integration for demand response programs. These features are essential for utilities as they work to modernize the grid and efficiently manage the growing energy demands of widespread EV adoption.

Being EPRI-vetted means that utilities and partners can have absolute confidence in our platform's ability to:

1. Integrate Seamlessly: Our open, OCPP-compliant software supports a wide range of hardware, allowing for flexible and future-proof network expansion.
2. Ensure Driver Satisfaction: With industry-leading uptime and a user-friendly experience, we help drive high utilization rates.
3. Support Grid Stability: Our intelligent energy management tools enable site hosts to optimize charging, reduce peak demand charges, and participate in utility programs that support grid resilience.

A Reliable Future, Powered by AmpUp

The future of transportation is electric, and building a reliable, interconnected charging ecosystem is paramount. By earning a place on the EPRI Vetted Product List, AmpUp has solidified its position as a trusted, high-quality partner for entities committed to the clean energy transition.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with partners and utilities, leveraging this critical validation to deploy even more reliable, affordable, and safe EV charging infrastructure across the globe.
