EV charging management software provider AMPECO (see our interview with CEO Orlin Radev) has partnered with i-charging, a manufacturer of DC charging hardware, to deliver a fully NTEP/CTEP-compliant EV charging solution.
The California Type Evaluation Program and National Type Evaluation Program require EV Charge Point Operators (CPOs) to provide customers with accurate information about the amount of energy delivered and the price (just as gas stations are required to do).
Integrating i-charging’s DC hardware with AMPECO’s comprehensive software platform supports CPOs in meeting the stringent regulatory requirements for commercial charging infrastructure throughout the US market, with particular attention to California’s enhanced standards, the companies explain. Since January 1, 2025, US states have enforced the metering and pricing transparency standards described in NIST Handbook 44.
The i-charging DC chargers feature displays that deliver real-time pricing information, ensuring that drivers are charged transparently for the energy they use. The system enables CPOs to fully meet NTEP/CTEP requirements, including:
- Transparent display of all pricing tiers before charging begins
- Continuous display of pricing and running costs throughout charging sessions
- Accurate measurement and recording of electrical output in kWh
- Maintenance of pricing calculations even during internet connectivity loss
- Clear labeling of maximum power output
- Field-testable accuracy verification
- Comprehensive receipts that itemize all charging costs
“With regulatory requirements now fully in effect, CPOs must ensure their networks meet compliance standards,” said Michael Greenberg, SVP of Growth at AMPECO. “As a trusted CPMS provider, we’re fully attuned to the federal requirements that shape the landscape. Our cutting-edge solution is engineered to seamlessly integrate with NTEP/CTEP standards, guaranteeing a compliant and future-proof approach.”
