AmpUp - EV Charging Reviews

by GFraiser

One star because while on the phone with tech support because of a glitch preventing me from charging at any station, the tech asked me to text them my login credentials including password. This is completely unacceptable.

AmpUp is ok when it’s not glitching. This particular issue prevented me from charging for 15 hours until I finally got ahold of tech support (they don’t seem to reply to the send a message feature). Tech support was nice enough when I finally reached them and followed up multiple times trying to help which was appreciated. But they need to be trained to not ask for passwords and apparently need better tools on their end to help customers.

This review is based on my expedite with charging, I live near the HQ of this app and was using their charger for charging tesla pricing and function was great until this app started blocking these chargers in their HQ for public access with no notice. I tried contacting them from email and contact number but looks like they don’t have support in place to pickup call or respond. These chargers stay empty all the days! Was dependent on them. Just Make it clear if these chargers can be used by public or not instead of playing with customers.

Tried to use a charging location with this company. It doesn’t work. Was on the phone for 15 minutes with service team. They couldn’t get it to work.

If you really need to charge your vehicle use another company as their technology won’t work when you need it to.

Was able to locate the nearest charging station and can’t wait to subscribe my inhome charger too..

Easy to use and comprehensive coverage

Never had an issue with AmpUp . Great UI and simple to use.

by Dennis Hb

this app is an improvement when it comes to finding a charging station, whether it’s a level 1, level 2 or level 3, have not had an issue finding a place to charge.

Been needing something like this to expand my EV charging options!

This has have been a life saver.

Easy to find charging spot on the map. Simply works for me! Great app!

by Holly Wu

It’s awesome to see one map that has all the charging options around. Great work!

This is the future of E.V. charging. I can schedule charging and not worry about time. It shows me exactly when and where so I can adjust my plans and daily routine easy. Great app

by Aepstein

It’s like Google Maps for finding EV chargers nearby, really handy so you never have to worry about running out of battery on the road.

I just moved jobs a few weeks ago and couldn’t use my normal EV charger anymore. AmpUp let me find one just up the street. Really helpful.

by BlueSkyComing

Still needs some improvements, but AmpUp is going to address some of the major pain points that have plagued the EV owners for so long now. Forget about range anxiety.

AmpUp is useful when you’re out and about and can’t find any nearby chargers. The UI is pretty slick and reminds me of how the maps look on a Tesla in dark mode. Will continue to use!

by EV Charger Hunter

Absolutely love this!! As soon as you fire up AmpUp , you could locate chargers around you. Right away I can see the type of charging station, the charger’s level and if it’s free or if rentable. You can reserve it with a quick click......love it.

We have 2 charging stations at the office. Been using this app for both. It's been very helpful to be able to manage the chargers vs before when we had no way to control usage.

by MarkSci

Nice to find charging options near home, and now also out on the road as I travel.

I tried reserving a residential charger twice and received no reply from the host both times. All it said was reservation pending. PlugShare is so much easier to use and the hosts actually reply. They also have more useful information about public chargers. Save yourself some time and get a more useful app.

In Chicago and western suburbs?
YUCK. AmpUp will not be the forerunner.

Choosing your vehicle is like looking at a bunch of pick-up sticks: no sequence, no order, and one line per year, make & model, with LOTS of chaotic lines of car descriptions to scroll through, and clearly not every car.
Electrify America is almost entirely missing. ChargePoint chargers are blatantly missing.
I might use AmpUp as a last ditch effort when I’m having serious range anxiety.
Overall, YUCK.

The toggle to take my charger offline does not work. My charger remains online. My attempt to delete my charger results in an error message. And there's no in-app support function to contact the company. Come on guys - get it together.

I do not want to use Google or Facebook yo register. Unfortunately I wont be a customer until there is a third option.

by Ian Seattle

I saw AmpUp advertised as “better than PlugShare”, and I was curious about the feature that allows you to reserve a charger. It manages to have more chargers than some EV apps out there, but no more so than PlugShare, and the only chargers you can reserve are home chargers listed through AmpUp. There might be a use in that, but I don’t think I will be using it much. The killer for me is how buggy it is. Clicking on any station for more details about the location caused an error, and several screens would not load until I quit AmpUp and launched it again.

This is game changer for EV charging. AmpUp is easy to use and has more inventory than competitor apps. Really love that you can reserve a host charging and all payments are streamlined and built in. Highly recommended!

by Michael0327

It is convenient to see all charger location and status on the same screen. Haven't try to reserve a private charger but a friend said it is nice for him.

by Adithya Jay

I can’t tell you how many times my plans change and where I’m worried about having to push my car. Love being able to search and find chargers that exist in various places 🙂

by EV-owner

A true godsend. Hope there’ll be more chargers in the network!

by Hszjyhsy

I've switched over from Plugshare to AmpUp. This this app app aggregates so many public chargers and their status it's amazing. Navigation takes you right to them, very convenient. I'm going to try one of their reservable chargers next.

I had an issue with the mobile app, but I reached out to the team and their team responded immediately with great support. I’m a huge fan and Tom was very helpful. He let me know I could start remote charging my car with a button from AmpUp and it worked!!
