EVerged Just Fixed the One Thing Everyone Hates About EVs

• EVerged plans 5,000+ chargers in 2 years, fixing a problem most cities ignore.
• Up to 80% of charging issues fixed remotely thanks to AMPECO’s platform.
• San Diego’s EV network became the test run an now the rest of the country is next.

What happens when thousands of EV chargers suddenly stop working? Most drivers would never know, until they’re stranded. That’s exactly the kind of problem EVerged and AMPECO are addressing head-on. The two companies just announced plans to roll out over 5,000 charging points in just two years, covering both public and private networks. This plan is a direct response to a growing reliability problem that the EV industry can’t afford to ignore.

Let’s rewind for a second. EV chargers going offline for weeks (yes, actual weeks) is still a common problem. Operators lose money. Drivers lose patience. It’s a mess. That’s where EVerged steps in.

As a renewable energy systems company, they’re using AMPECO’s software to get real-time updates and fix most issues remotely. No dispatching a tech crew, no long wait times.

According to Peter Ruzich, COO at EVerged, “AMPECO’s platform gives us instant visibility when chargers go down and resolves most issues remotely, dramatically improving our operational efficiency.”

That’s the kind of operational upgrade drivers and cities have been asking for.

What’s wild is how this whole rollout began in San Diego, California. EVerged took on management of the city’s public charging network, and the City Council gave the green light to expand it by roughly 4,000 new charge points over the next five years.

That includes 2,500 for public access and another 1,500 for municipal use. San Diego clearly understands that reliability drives usage. And this early success is now the springboard for expanding into other major cities across the U.S.

CEO Jefferson W. Smith threw in his two cents, “By integrating AMPECO’s powerful platform, we’re eliminating the reliability issues that have plagued the industry and building a foundation for EV infrastructure that is resilient, scalable, and driver‑first.” Strong words.

But other players are putting their own plans into high gear. EVgo joined forces with GM to install 2,000 high-power fast chargers near travel stops across the U.S. ChargePoint, working with Mercedes-Benz, is building thousands of fast-charging hubs as part of a wider push.

In contrast, EVerged and AMPECO are doubling down on software reliability, which remains a critical piece in making sure U.S. networks actually work when drivers pull up.

AMPECO’s platform gets straight to the point. It gives operators immediate alerts when a charger goes offline, runs remote diagnostics to fix most problems on the spot, and uses data analytics to flag issues before they spiral.

On top of that, it includes tools for customer engagement, like free charging promotions and detailed dashboards for business partners.

Michael Greenberg, AMPECO’s Senior Vice President of Growth, said, “Their focus on reliability and driver experience aligns perfectly with our mission to provide flexible, scalable software for successful EV charging operations.” Direct and clear. No extra fluff.

AMPECO is already working with fleet-focused providers like Guided Energy and DC charger manufacturer i-charging. Meanwhile, firms such as Driivz, Wevo Energy, ChargeLab, and GreenFlux are building momentum of their own, each bringing strengths in areas like billing systems, smart-grid connectivity, or hardware integration.

EVerged and AMPECO are building a charging network that actually works and keeps working. That means fewer frustrations, shorter wait times, and a better experience for drivers. For city planners and fleet operators, more uptime translates directly to higher revenue. And for those tracking climate progress, it’s another piece of the puzzle. Cleaner vehicles only make sense when the infrastructure holds up.
