Bringing Innovation Home: Ampol and EVOS Partnership
In a groundbreaking collaboration, Ampol, Australia's largest transport fuels provider, has teamed up with EVOS to revolutionize the electric vehicle (EV) charging landscape. As the national distribution partner for EVOS, Ampol will introduce the SB7 EV Charger, alongside EVOS's Fleet Home22 Charger, to the Australian market, making both chargers accessible to the public.
The SB7 EV charger, designed and manufactured in Australia, will be available at most Ampol service stations nationwide by the end of this year. With 1852 Ampol stations spread across the country, accessibility to EV chargers will be unprecedented. Priced at less than AU$2,000 per device, the SB7 is poised to make a significant impact on the EV charging ecosystem.
Ampol Energy CEO, Jim Myatt, affirms our commitment to accessibility, stating, "We are expanding our charging infrastructure beyond service sites to locations such as shopping centers, ensuring convenient access for all." The SB7 boasts built-in software that optimizes charging, allowing users to leverage the cheapest rates and integrate with renewable energy sources.
Empowering EV Adoption: AmpCharge Initiative
Our commitment to advancing EV adoption extends beyond public infrastructure. Under the AmpCharge initiative, we have deployed 40 EV charging bays at 17 sites across Australia, with plans to expand to over 100 sites with more than 300 charging bays by 2023-24. This strategic rollout aims to reduce emissions in the transport sector, alleviate range anxiety, and support the growing EV community.
Partnering with EVOS further enhances our EV strategy, offering home charging solutions tailored to meet the needs of EV owners. The launch of the SB7 home charger marks a significant milestone in our journey towards sustainable mobility. With its Wi-Fi connectivity, over-the-air updates, and advanced safety features, the SB7 ensures seamless integration and peace of mind for EV owners.
A Vision for Tomorrow: EVOS Innovation
EVOS, driven by a vision to address the challenges hindering EV uptake, has developed cutting-edge solutions to optimize energy management and lower costs. The SB7 exemplifies this commitment, offering not only efficient charging but also intuitive monitoring and cost management capabilities. With a focus on customer-centric design and innovative technology, EVOS aims to accelerate the transition to a sustainable energy future.
In conclusion, the partnership between Ampol and EVOS signifies a transformative shift towards electrification and sustainability in Australia's energy landscape. As we continue to innovate and expand our offerings, Ampol Future Energy remains at the forefront of driving positive change and shaping a greener future for generations to come.
