Ampline Series A
EV charging pitch deck with utilisation broken out by site
A charging investor is buying one thing repeated a thousand times, so the only question that matters is what a single post earns and how long it took to get power to it. Ampline is invented, and its ten slides answer both with a per post waterfall and a council approval chart.
Every slide, in order
The whole deck as it renders, one slide after another. Read it the way the audience would.
The structure
What each slide is doing, so you can reuse the order even with different content.
- Slide 1cover
- Charger count and utilisation on the cover, because one without the other proves nothing.
- Slide 2intro
- Who this is for, said as a housing fact rather than as an electric vehicle forecast.
- Slide 3pillars
- The four parts of a site, so the 13,800 dollars a post is not an abstract number.
- Slide 4metrics
- Six numbers, with revenue per post shown beside the total so the unit is obvious.
- Slide 5metrics
- Utilisation split by site type, because the blended 18 percent decides nothing on its own.
- Slide 6metrics
- One post taken from revenue to contribution, so the payback on 13,800 dollars is checkable.
- Slide 7timeline
- The council approval pipeline as bars, since the calendar is the constraint the round is buying around.
- Slide 8comparison
- Three ways a site host can deal with us, priced, because this is the negotiation every time.
- Slide 9investment
- Fifteen million in a table, with cost per post stated so the build target is arithmetic.
- Slide 10closing
- Close on the post level data, which is the only thing that settles a utilisation argument.
Slide by slide
Slide one puts the post count and utilisation on the cover. Slide two is about households with no off street parking and why fast charging does not serve them. Slide three breaks one site into four costs. Slide four is six numbers including revenue per post and permit to power time. Slide five is utilisation by site type with six siting lessons beside it. Slide six is the per post waterfall from revenue to contribution. Slide seven is the council approval Gantt across four quarters. Slide eight is three site host deals with the share of sites on each. Slide nine is the fifteen million ask as a table. Slide ten offers the per post per hour data including the eleven relocations.
How to adapt this deck
A fast charging network on highway sites replaces utilisation by site type with utilisation by hour of day, because the business is peak driven and a single busy corridor carries the return. A company that leases rather than owns its posts removes the capital line from the ask and shows a lease adjusted contribution instead, which usually makes the payback slide shorter and the risk slide longer. A business selling hardware to councils rather than operating it drops the waterfall and replaces it with a tender pipeline, since revenue arrives as a procurement outcome rather than as kilowatt hours.
What this audience asks for
The Australian Renewable Energy Agency publishes its funded work on electric vehicle charging, including the kerbside and on street trials that this deck takes its shape from, and the government business planning guidance sets out how a capital heavy plan is expected to be presented. Read together they explain why an infrastructure investor asks for contribution per asset before they ask for a growth rate. A deck that leads with a national vehicle forecast and reaches per post economics on slide nine has the order backwards.
What makes this deck work
One post is the unit, and it is fully costed
Slide three breaks 13,800 dollars into post, connection, install and permit, and slide six turns 5,400 dollars of revenue into 1,750 of contribution. Together they give a payback the deck states as about eight years rather than leaving an investor to work it out and assume worse.
The utilisation split contradicts the obvious answer
Slide five shows apartment kerbs at 15 percent, below council streets at 19, and the bullets explain that residents use the basement instead. Publishing the site type that failed the hypothesis is what makes the other three numbers usable for siting decisions.
Approvals are the constraint and they are on a chart
Slide seven puts four councils on a quarterly Gantt with the grid connection queue running across all of them, because seven months from permit to power is what actually sets the build rate. A hardware plan with no approval calendar is a budget rather than a plan.
Questions people ask
What goes in an EV charging pitch deck?
Who cannot charge at home, what one site costs to build, utilisation and revenue per post, utilisation by site type, the contribution per post, the approval timeline, the site host deals and the ask. This example uses ten slides and one unit throughout.
How is utilisation defined in charging?
Say it explicitly, because there are three common definitions. This deck uses the share of all hours in which a post is delivering energy, states it on the metrics slide, and derives 11,000 kilowatt hours a year from a 7 kilowatt post at 18 percent. An undefined utilisation number is not comparable.
Should the deck show payback per charger?
Yes, even when it is long. This example says about eight years on a 13,800 dollar build, which is normal for kerbside infrastructure and abnormal for software. Hiding it invites an investor to assume a number, and the number they assume will be worse.
Why does a charging deck need a timeline slide?
Because approvals, not hardware, set the build rate. This deck shows four councils staggered so one objection period cannot stop everything, with a 14 week grid connection lead running underneath. The Gantt in this builder holds up to 12 tasks and draws no dependency arrows.
How do I present site host deals?
As three options with the share of sites on each, priced. This example shows revenue share at 68 percent of sites, fixed rent at 24 and host owned at 8, and says plainly which one the company prefers and why councils choose it.
How many slides for an infrastructure raise?
Ten to twelve. This one is ten. Vehicle adoption forecasts are the usual filler and every investor in the room has already seen three. The space is better spent on the per post economics, which is the thing they cannot look up.

Foodtech pitch deck example for an alternative protein
An alternative protein pitch deck has to prove that cost per kilogram falls far enough with scale to reach the price of the meat it replaces. Hyphalia Foods, an invented fungal protein maker, shows 18 dollars a kilogram at its pilot plant, 10.60 at the plant this round builds and the cost lines that move between the two.
Agtech pitch deck example with numbers that reconcile
An agtech investor has been shown a water saving before and has learned to ask what it was measured against. Furrow Sense is invented, and every number in its ten slides ties back to one of three things: farms, hectares or the fee per hectare.
Pet startup pitch deck built around one household
A pet startup pitch deck has to prove that one household pays more each month than it costs to feed, deliver to and replace when it leaves. This example does it for Pawcel, an invented Sydney fresh dog food subscription, with 14,000 households at 88 dollars a month and every cost line shown.
