AGL Energy has formed a strategic partnership with EV charging platform provider AMPECO to deliver kerbside EV charging solutions across high-density residential areas.
The partnership addresses a critical barrier to EV adoption in Australia, where approximately 30% of the population lacks access to dedicated parking for home charging.
AGL has leveraged AMPECO’s comprehensive EV charging management platform to rapidly deploy over 150 charging stations in just six months, expanding AC charging options for apartment dwellers in inner Sydney.

“We went from zero sites to 150+ sites in a 6-month span, thanks to AMPECO’s platform infrastructure and team support,” AGL Energy eMobility product owner Shiv Nandwani said.
“We’ve basically taken Sydney from barely having any AC chargers for people who live in apartments to now a significant number of residential streets in inner Sydney having an AGL EV charger.”
The collaboration represents a paradigm shift in the EV charging industry. Unlike traditional charging operators focused primarily on charging revenue, AGL views EV charging as a strategic tool to accelerate transport electrification, treating every new EV driver as a high-value customer for their broader energy services ecosystem.Â
AMPECO’s platform enables AGL to maintain consistent customer pricing while dynamically managing grid demand through real-time throughput control. The system achieves 99% uptime and meets strict regulatory compliance requirements, including comprehensive telemetry data sharing for grid capacity planning.

“Their innovative approach to kerbside charging demonstrates the transformative potential of AMPECO’s platform when combined with visionary deployment strategies. We’re proud to support their pioneering vision for urban EV charging.”
