About AMPED

We provide easy access to the newest, most in demand electric vehicles in the market today, without a long-term commitment. There’s no doubt about it: EVs are here to stay. We’re just making it a little easier for you to make the transition to a more sustainable future.

Stay in Touch

While Amped may be a new venture, our parent companies have been in the automotive business for more than 50 years. AMPED is part of the larger Midway Auto Group organization which is comprised of four distinct – yet connected – businesses. A unique automotive services company, Midway Auto Group offers a wide range of custom, high-value vehicle and transportation solutions through rental, leasing, sales, and supply.

That means we’re a proud member of the Hankey Group of companies. With assets totaling more than $18 billion, the Hankey Group businesses include automotive, financial services, real estate, technology services and insurance. We’re also directly connected with Nowcom, a technology solutions provider known for developing industry-leading automotive and finance software solutions. This strong financial strength and synergy of our automotive and technology-oriented sister companies puts us way ahead of our competitors.

Giving you peace of mind. On the road and in your wallet.
