Open the mapAmpUp Charging Network: Slow and Steady Charging
AmpUp operates a public EV charging network across the United States and Canada. With 760 charging points, the vast majority offer slower AC charging speeds, ideal for destination or overnight top-ups.
AmpUp's network comprises 760 public charging points across the US and Canada. The charging speed mix is heavily weighted towards slower AC charging: 757 stations operate at speeds under 50 kW. These are typically Level 2 chargers (7-22 kW) suited for destination charging, workplace charging, or overnight top-ups rather than rapid refueling.
Only three chargers in the entire AmpUp network are classified as rapid, operating between 50-149 kW. There are no ultra-rapid chargers above 150 kW available. This power profile means AmpUp stations are not designed for quick charging stops during long road trips.
The network is present in cities like Washington, D.C. (13 chargers), Melrose (12), Kansas City (11), Boston (10), and Springfield (10). You will encounter Type 1 (J1772) connectors, CCS (Type 1), and CHAdeMO connectors on their sites.
When using AmpUp, expect to find slower charging speeds. This is best suited for situations where your vehicle can remain plugged in for an extended period, such as while you work, shop, or sleep. Drivers should always check the charging unit or associated app for specific pricing and connection instructions before initiating a charge.
