AmpUp and Tritium Launch Innovative Fast-Charging Station Upgrade Program
AmpUp and Tritium have announced a collaborative program to modernize DC fast-charging infrastructure across North America. The initiative offers a two-phase approach for existing Tritium RT50 owners. Phase One enables seamless integration into the AmpUp network at no cost, requiring only the charger's serial number and transfer approval, with potential minor costs for SIM card replacement.
Phase Two introduces an upgrade option to replace RT50 units with new 50kW DC fast chargers featuring dual charging capability, universal CCS and NACS compatibility, a 3-year parts warranty, and potential for 75kW upgrades. The new RTM chargers can be installed on existing RT50 pads, with AmpUp ensuring responsible recycling of old units.
AmpUp e Tritium hanno annunciato un programma di collaborazione per modernizzare le infrastrutture di ricarica rapida CC in Nord America. L'iniziativa offre un approccio in due fasi per i proprietari esistenti degli RT50 di Tritium. Fase Uno consente un'integrazione senza soluzione di continuità nella rete AmpUp senza costi, richiedendo solo il numero di serie del caricatore e l'approvazione del trasferimento, con potenziali costi minori per la sostituzione della scheda SIM.
Fase Due introduce un'opzione di aggiornamento per sostituire le unità RT50 con nuovi caricabatterie rapidi DC da 50 kW con capacità di ricarica duale, compatibilità universale CCS e NACS, una garanzia sui pezzi di 3 anni e la possibilità di aggiornamenti a 75 kW. I nuovi caricabatterie RTM possono essere installati su basi RT50 esistenti, con AmpUp che garantisce un riciclo responsabile delle vecchie unità.

AmpUp와 Tritium이 북미의 직류 고속 충전 인프라를 현대화하기 위한 협력 프로그램을 발표했습니다. 이 이니셔티브는 기존 Tritium RT50 소유자를 위한 두 단계 접근 방식을 제공합니다. 1단계는 충전기의 일련 번호와 이전 승인을 요구하며, SIM 카드 교체로 인한 약간의 비용이 발생할 수 있는 AmpUp 네트워크에 무료로 원활하게 통합할 수 있습니다.
2단계에서는 RT50 장치를 새로운 50kW DC 고속 충전기로 교체할 수 있는 업그레이드 옵션이 도입됩니다. 이 새로운 장치는 듀얼 충전 기능, 보편적 CCS 및 NACS 호환성, 3년 부품 보증, 75kW 업그레이드 가능성을 제공합니다. 새로운 RTM 충전기는 기존 RT50 패드에 설치할 수 있으며, AmpUp는 오래된 장치의 책임 있는 재활용을 보장합니다.
AmpUp et Tritium ont annoncé un programme de collaboration pour moderniser l'infrastructure de charge rapide DC en Amérique du Nord. L'initiative propose une approche en deux phases pour les propriétaires existants de Tritium RT50. Phase Un permet une intégration transparente dans le réseau AmpUp sans frais, nécessitant uniquement le numéro de série du chargeur et l'approbation du transfert, avec des coûts mineurs potentiels pour le remplacement de la carte SIM.
Phase Deux introduit une option de mise à niveau pour remplacer les unités RT50 par de nouveaux chargeurs rapides DC de 50 kW disposant d'une capacité de charge double, d'une compatibilité CCS et NACS universelle, d'une garantie de pièces de 3 ans et d'un potentiel de mises à niveau à 75 kW. Les nouveaux chargeurs RTM peuvent être installés sur des bases RT50 existantes, AmpUp s'assurant du recyclage responsable des anciennes unités.
AmpUp und Tritium haben ein gemeinsames Programm angekündigt, um die DC-Schnellladeinfrastruktur in Nordamerika zu modernisieren. Die Initiative bietet einen zweistufigen Ansatz für bestehende Tritium RT50-Besitzer. Phase Eins ermöglicht eine nahtlose Integration in das AmpUp-Netzwerk ohne Kosten, wobei lediglich die Seriennummer des Ladegeräts und eine Übertragungsgenehmigung erforderlich sind, mit potenziellen geringen Kosten für den Austausch der SIM-Karte.
Phase Zwei führt eine Upgrade-Option ein, um RT50-Einheiten durch neue 50 kW DC-Schnelllader mit dualer Ladefähigkeit, universeller CCS- und NACS-Kompatibilität, einer 3-Jahres-Teilegarantie und der Möglichkeit von 75 kW-Upgrades zu ersetzen. Die neuen RTM-Ladegeräte können auf bestehenden RT50-Pads installiert werden, wobei AmpUp für das verantwortungsvolle Recycling alter Einheiten sorgt.

Insights
This collaboration represents a strategic move in the evolving EV charging infrastructure landscape. The program addresses two critical market needs: network integration and hardware modernization. The dual-phase approach is particularly noteworthy for its commercial implications:
The seamless network integration phase eliminates significant barriers to entry, with the zero-cost transfer being a compelling proposition for existing RT50 owners. This could accelerate AmpUp's network expansion while providing Tritium with a graceful migration path for legacy equipment.
The upgrade pathway to the new 50kW DC fast charger with dual charging capability effectively doubles the revenue potential per installation footprint. The NACS + CCS compatibility future-proofs the investment, especially important given Tesla's market dominance and the industry's shift toward NACS standards.
For stakeholders, the program's structure minimizes downtime and capital expenditure while maximizing potential returns. The ability to upgrade to 75kW provides additional value protection against future capacity demands. This initiative could significantly impact the fragmented charging network landscape, potentially driving consolidation and standardization.
The timing and structure of this program align perfectly with current market dynamics. With the EV charging infrastructure market projected to see substantial growth, this initiative addresses several key pain points:
The fragmentation of charging networks has been a major obstacle in the industry. This program's first phase tackles this directly by simplifying network integration, which could accelerate market consolidation. The zero-cost transfer model removes financial barriers, potentially leading to rapid network expansion.
The upgrade option's emphasis on dual charging and universal compatibility demonstrates strong market awareness. With the increasing diversity of EV models and charging standards, this flexibility is important for maximizing utilization rates and return on investment. The program's structure suggests a well-thought-out strategy to capture market share while helping station owners optimize their assets.
This program simplifies the process for existing Tritium RT50 owners to join the AmpUp charging network and gain access to various upgrade options.
Seamless Network Integration:
The program offers a two-phase approach, allowing owners to choose the path best suited to their needs. The first phase focuses on effortlessly integrating existing Tritium stations into the robust AmpUp network. This process is designed to be hassle-free for site hosts and owners:
- Simply provide your Tritium charger's serial number (AmpUp can assist with locating it) and written approval for transfer.
- AmpUp takes care of the rest, transferring the station to the network free of charge.
- You then receive selection options for your preferred cloud service.
- A minor cost may apply for labor associated with replacing the Tritium SIM card with an AmpUp-compatible one, if necessary. Ethernet-connected chargers won't require this step.
Enhanced Charging Capabilities:
Phase Two provides a compelling upgrade opportunity for existing RT50 owners. You can trade in your RT50 for a brand-new 50kW DC fast charger boasting several advantages:
- Dual Charging: You can power two EVs simultaneously, doubling your charging capacity.
- Universal Compatibility: CCS and NACS cords allow you to charge virtually any EV on the market.
- Robust Warranty: Enjoy a 3-year parts warranty.
- Scalable Power: Upgradeable to 75kW for future-proofed performance.
- Sustainable Practices: AmpUp ensures responsible recycling of your RT50, minimizing environmental impact.
- Simple Installation: The new RTM charger seamlessly fits on the existing RT50 pad, minimizing disruption.
"This program demonstrates AmpUp's commitment to simplifying the EV charging experience for everyone," said Tom Sun, co-founder and CEO at AmpUp. "By streamlining network integration and offering compelling upgrade options, we empower existing Tritium owners to unlock the full potential of their charging infrastructure."
"We recognize the importance of working with partners like AmpUp to advance the EV charging ecosystem," said Dimitrios Papadogonas, VP of global marketing and communications at Tritium. "This collaboration ensures charging station owners can smoothly adapt to evolving market conditions while maintaining reliable service for EV drivers."
