Mission
Never stop developing EV charging
We were born out of a desire to obtain a better solution than the market could offer. We created the hardware and software that was lacking from the market. We are the challenger that more demanding charging suppliers and electric vehicle (EV) owners need. We will always be at the forefront of development and offer smart customised hardware and software for EV charging.
Vision
To create high-quality charging solutions for those who demand more
The development of electric vehicles is nothing less than a revolution. It will provide the world with more sustainable growth. Charge Amps is an ambitious part of that (r)EVolution. We are contributing to the transition from a fossil energy world to a sustainable future by creating the most user-friendly and charging supplier-friendly, intelligent and aesthetic charging solutions.
Our history

2012
Fredrik Jonsson founded Charge Amps in 2012 with our first product Spark, a charging cable that revolutionised the industry. Read the full story below of how the company was formed from his kitchen table in Sollentuna.

Why electric vehicle chargers need an aesthetic design, and how a leading smart technology was born on a kitchen table in a Swedish suburb.
In 2012, Charge Amps’ founder Fredrik Jonsson was one of the early purchasers of an electric car. He was not alone in recognising that a sustainable future requires a transition from a dependency on fossil fuels for transport, but he was one of the more impatient ones. His sense of frustration that a high-tech car had to be charged using chargers that were anything but intelligent, with a choice of materials that was anything but sustainable, gave birth to Charge Amps.
Jonsson was an passionate electric vehicle owner, who was a technical engineer by profession. He decided to develop a lighter weight charging cable that could be bent in extremely cold weather and had the maximum possible intelligence built into a tiny, flexible and well-designed format. Smaller, better and more aesthetic than anything else on the market. In the first year all production took place from his kitchen table in the small suburb of Sollentuna outside Stockholm in Sweden. It was under these conditions that business developer and investor Boel Rydenå met up with Jonsson. Together they then came up with an ambition and a vision for Charge Amps, based on a conviction that the EV world needed better charging equipment. That’s what we are creating today.
