Why Amper exists.

Africa's electricity system is changing.

EVs, batteries, solar and other distributed technologies are creating new electricity demand — and new opportunities to manage energy more intelligently. Amper is building technology to make that transition safer, more visible and easier to manage. Two structural problems need solving now, and won't be solved by tools built for European or North American markets.

The residential problem.

Domestic sockets and residential wiring were not designed for the sustained current an EV pulls overnight. As EV adoption accelerates across the continent, the majority of first-generation drivers charge at home on standard 13-amp sockets, with real fire risk, no way to allocate cost between household members or landlords, and no way for the utility to see the load. Wallboxes and Level 2 chargers built for European homes do not fit the wiring, the housing model, or the economics of the median African EV driver.

The utility problem.

African distribution utilities are absorbing EV load with almost no visibility into it. Meters were not designed to distinguish an EV from a refrigerator, and networks were not designed to survive a coordinated overnight EV peak. Operators are being asked to absorb a fast-growing new source of demand without the information to see it clearly.

What we build.

Amper starts where the energy transition actually begins — at the plug. Connected charging hardware makes everyday EV charging safer, and turns it into reliable, verifiable energy data.

That data gives energy operators reliable visibility into EV charging demand they can't see today.

All of it is built for the operating reality African grids actually face: intermittent connectivity, offline safety, brownout tolerance and prepaid metering.

Truth in every watt. That's the through-line. It's why Amper exists.
