Amply Power :Pathway to a Zero-Emission Transportation Future

A Google search of the real-time air quality index of the world displays the visual of a world map with numerous red dots, which denote the air quality as ‘unhealthy.’ Pollution has been on the rise for decades now, and vehicle emissions are among the biggest contributors. Today, it has become a vital necessity to stop the usage of fossil fuels and shift toward electric vehicles (EVs), which will help in reducing both air and noise pollution. However, the road to the transition of conventional vehicles into EVs is a bumpy ride due to the less availability of charging stations, spare parts, service centers, and low capabilities of the batteries to cover greater distance among others. There is a dire need for the installation of a full-scale EV infrastructure to make the EV experience hassle free. AMPLY POWER is championing the cause with a service rarely heard of—charging-as-a-service. The company helps fleet operators by setting up the EV infrastructure and assisting them in running the fleet on a daily basis by taking care of all other functions such as regular charging of the vehicle and maintenance.

Highlighting their value proposition, Simon Lonsdale, co-founder and head of sales and strategy of AMPLY POWER says, “Our customers have to pay only for the amount of power their vehicles are consuming, and not for the entire infrastructure.”

AMPLY’s innovative vision to provide infrastructure for electric vehicles to upscale the usage of EVs will prove to be a cheaper run for the users. Applying the idea to commercial fleet operators will bring forth a significant reduction in the cost as well as pollution levels.

AMPLY brings on the deck three different kinds of offerings that help fleet operators transition to EVs effortlessly. Lonsdale explains, “At the outset, we take care of the planning and deployment of the infrastructure required for the charging of EVs. The second task is to keep the vehicles charged and ready for them to run the next day. Our last but the best offering for the consumer is a fixed price for every mile covered.” In this manner, AMPLY ensures that the budget for transportation is kept under check along with a reliable service.

To ensure a seamless service flow AMPLY has designed an automated cloud-based charging optimization software named AMPLIFY that gives access to data such as the customer’s location, fleet depot status, amount of power consumed by a vehicle, size of the fleet, number of vehicles running and the status of chargers. Lonsdale elaborates, “The platform features an alert system that indicates problems such as charging station not operational, a vehicle consuming too much power, or if the vehicle is about to run out of power. We are fully aware of the cost generated by the vehicles of a fleet.”

AMPLY envisions playing a significant role in the industry by transforming more fleets of conventional vehicles into EVs. The AMPLY team also guides several manufacturers of EV products and accessories to bring the right kind of products to the market. A unique service provider in the market AMPLY believes in creating a difference by educating their customers about their charging-as-a-service, for which they have collaborated with electrical companies and regulatory authorities. Lonsdale sums up with a quote by Carla Peterman, an advisor of AMPLY and former California Public Utilities Commissioner, “We have reached a unique stage in policy and technology where it is more economically feasible to step away from fossil fuel and electrify our fleet vehicles. There is no excuse. The time to act is now.”
