At Zapgo, we’re on a mission to make electric vehicle charging part of everyday life – especially in places where it’s been hard to come by. That’s why we’re excited to be partnering with AMPECO as we expand our EV charging network across the UK.

Charging where it really matters

From the beginning, our vision has been clear: we’re heading to smaller towns, rural areas, and local destinations where EV drivers often find themselves thinking, “Wait… where do I charge?”

As our Chief Operating Officer Ross Mabon puts it:

"We're focused on destination charging in under-served locations. We want EV charging to be something that people do as part of going about their day, somewhere they are already wanting to be."‍

We believe that making EV charging more accessible outside of big cities isn’t just smart – it’s essential. By tackling the gaps in the national charging network, we’re helping ease the transition to electric vehicles, especially for those who’ve hesitated because they can’t always rely on finding a charger nearby.

Our role goes beyond installing charge points – we’re here to support the communities we’re part of. That means backing local initiatives and building real relationships. We’re proud to help strengthen community ties while encouraging the shift to more sustainable transport.

Finding the right partner

At Zapgo, we know our strengths – building reliable operations, working with property partners, and creating a great charging experience. So instead of building software from scratch, we looked for a platform partner that would support us in doing those things even better.

Ross sums it up:

“Historically, in this industry, Charge Point Operators (CPOs) felt compelled to build proprietary back-office solutions. But CPOs are not software companies.” 

After carefully weighing up our options, we chose AMPECO as our platform provider. There were several key advantages: flexibility, seamless integration with our technology eco-system and the control of costs for the benefit of our customers.

Joanna Moffatt, our Head of Network, explains it like this:

“With AMPECO’s white-label solution, we can build a very robust, sustainable EV charging business. Having worked with back-office solutions throughout my career, I have learnt what works and what doesn’t. I struggled to find things that AMPECO hadn’t thought of already. 

Making it easy for property owners and drivers

Our business model is built around simplicity: Zero cost, Zero effort, Zero risk for property owners.

We cover everything – from the site survey to installation, and all the ongoing maintenance and support. There’s no upfront cost for landlords, and they earn a share of revenue from every charging session. That’s a win-win for hospitality, leisure, and retail venues where customers are already spending time.

With drivers typically staying around 50 minutes, these locations will benefit from increased footfall and revenue opportunities.

AMPECO’s platform helps us offer a smooth charging experience – from finding a charger to starting a session and paying – even for people using it for the first time.

Orlin Radev, CEO at AMPECO added:

“We are proud to support Zapgo's mission to bring EV charging to underserved locations across the UK. Our platform's flexibility and control will enable them to create a charging experience that truly meets the needs of drivers while providing the operational efficiency needed for sustainable growth.”

Building for the future

We’ve got big plans – and now we’ve got the right tech to back them up.

AMPECO’s scalable platform fits seamlessly into the systems and partnerships we already have in place. As Ross Mabon puts it:

“AMPECO serves as the backbone of our operation. It’s the central hub where our charger network and customer experience are managed.”

A strong team, a clear vision

Zapgo is led by founder and CEO Neil Mahapatra, who brings over 20 years of experience building businesses and a real drive to help the UK hit its net zero goals. 

As new regulations around EV charging infrastructure roll out, we’re here to help property owners not just comply, but thrive – turning requirements into real revenue and community value.
