Singer Electric and AMPECO to build Kiwi EV charging network

Singer Electric has formed a strategic partnership with Bulgarian startup AMPECO which says it’s a global leader in EV charging management software.

This collaboration integrates AMPECO’s platform into Singer’s Apollo ecosystem, positioning the company to establish one of New Zealand’s largest managed EV charging networks by the end of the first half of 2025.

Singer Electric has already built a strong foundation in the country’s EV infrastructure, with at least 2000 chargers installed and more than 500 chargers managed by the platform.

It plans to reach 1000 managed chargers by Q3 2025 and 2500 by the end of 2025.

Partnering with AMPECO strengthens Singer’s full-service offering, which spans consultation, installation, energy management, and ongoing maintenance for organisations transitioning to electric mobility, says Singer Electric whose major clients include Auckland Transport, Westfield shopping centres, and the Department of Corrections.

“As New Zealand accelerates toward a sustainable future, they need partners who understand both the electrical infrastructure and the management systems that make charging networks efficient and profitable,” says Singer Electric sales and marketing head Finn McLaren.

“AMPECO’s platform gives us the technological foundation to deliver on both fronts and supports our vision of connected buildings and transport systems that are energy-responsive and predictive.”

The software forms a key component of Singer’s Apollo ecosystem– which simplifies energy management for businesses.

Apollo integrates best-of-breed technologies to help organisations achieve their sustainability goals through the principles of decarbonisation, decentralisation, and digitalisation.

By leveraging AMPECO’s market-tested platform instead of developing an in-house solution, Singer saved at least a year of development time and resources while capitalising on immediate market opportunities, it says.

“AMPECO’s platform is a crucial piece that fits perfectly into our Apollo ecosystem,” says Singer Electric chief technology officer Paul Clarkin.

“Their robust solution allows us to rapidly scale while focusing on what we do best – delivering comprehensive electrical solutions that solve real business challenges.”

With AMPECO’s advanced EV charging management software integrated into the Apollo platform, Singer is now well-positioned to secure complex electrical projects that require precise measurement and control through a digital platform, the company says.

“AMPECO’s platform is designed to empower visionaries like Singer Electric who are transforming EV charging from a standalone service into an integral part of a smarter, more sustainable energy ecosystem,” says AMPECO chief executive Orlin Radev.

He says AMPECO’s platform enables Singer to offer property owners and businesses new ways to generate value from EV charging investments.

The flexible application programming interface (API) driven system supports various business models, from private fleet charging to public pay-for-use networks, all managed through a single interface, says AMPECO, adding its Amazon Web Services (AWS) hosted platform enables immediate growth into Australia and Pacific Island nations.
