What this partnership enables
AMPECO’s CPO customers can now offer their drivers access to charging infrastructure across Europe through a single integration.
- CPOs maintain their existing app, backend, and pricing
- Plugsurfing handles network connections, invoicing, and roaming operations.
Plugsurfing’s network provides broad roaming coverage across Europe, with an estimated 78% of publicly available charge points accessible through its network, supported by more than 800 international and local charge point operators. The network already reaches over 2 million EV drivers and includes major infrastructure providers such as IONITY, Tesla Supercharger, Fastned, and Allego.
In Germany, France, and the Netherlands alone, coverage exceeds 600,000 charging points.
Operational advantages for CPOs
The managed roaming approach delivers several operational advantages for CPOs:
- Consolidated monthly invoicing replaces hundreds of individual operator bills.
- Automated CDR reconciliation reduces manual intervention and billing disputes.
- Standardized tariff data from connected CPOs is delivered through OCPI with updates as frequent as every minute.
Three approaches to roaming
This partnership reinforces AMPECO’s commitment to offering CPOs flexibility in how they approach roaming. Rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model, AMPECO now supports three distinct approaches:
- Managed: A turnkey solution through Plugsurfing for CPOs needing quick, wide coverage with minimal operational setup.
- Self-Managed: For those wanting granular control over individual partnerships and bilateral agreements.
- Hybrid: A flexible configuration combining both models to achieve rapid scale alongside complete control over specific CPO partnerships.
What the partnership means
“The partnership with AMPECO enables eMSPs to offer broad, reliable charging access across Europe without the operational overhead of managing roaming themselves. Together, we handle the network relationships and day-to-day operations so they can focus on growing their business.” Tom Rowlands, Managing Director, Global EV Solutions at Corpay, Plugsurfing’s parent company.
For CPOs lacking dedicated roaming expertise, the turnkey approach removes the steep learning curve traditionally associated with establishing charging network interoperability. A single contract provides pan-European coverage, and the plug-and-play integration accelerates time to market—allowing CPOs to offer expanded coverage while maintaining full control over their brand, pricing, and customer experience.
“Our collaboration with Plugsurfing is about speed and simplicity for CPOs. It means bypassing the steep learning curve of roaming and plugging directly into a pan-European network via one contract. This integration lets operators expand their offering from day one, without requiring them to sacrifice control over their pricing or the end-customer experience.” Todor Stratiev, VP of Solution Consulting at AMPECO.
