Portable charging means guests can keep their phones with them instead of leaving them behind a counter.
Portable power. Michigan ambition.
Stay charged.
Stay in the moment.
A low battery shouldn’t end a good night. Ampvian is planning portable phone charging for the places Michigan comes together.

We’re developing a hosting program for bars, restaurants, cafés and entertainment spaces. Every placement starts with the right fit.
Space for a useful extra.
Potential no-upfront-cost installation, with space, power and responsibilities agreed in writing before a pilot.
A share in the opportunity.
Our proposed program starts at a 10% venue commission. Final terms, including up to 15%, depend on the placement agreement.

a place to turn.
We’re preparing a portable charging pilot for Metro Detroit. The goal: a useful guest amenity with clear responsibilities and a straightforward venue agreement.
A proposed program,
built around your space.
- Potential $0 upfront placement for qualifying venues.
- Ampvian would arrange equipment, installation and maintenance.
- Your venue would provide agreed space, electricity and access.
- Self-service rental would reduce routine battery handling by staff.
- All costs, responsibilities and pilot terms agreed before installation.
Small footprint, right fit.
Countertop placement is our starting point. Exact dimensions and power requirements will follow supplier selection and a site review.
A named support process.
We plan to manage maintenance and written support coordination. Final supplier response hours and refund responsibilities are being confirmed.
Clear exit terms.
We propose a limited pilot with written removal and termination terms. No long-term commitment has been finalized.
Your commission. Your choice.
A venue may voluntarily choose to donate any portion of its earned commission, including 100%. The proposed donation arrangement requires final terms and beneficiary approval. Participation is entirely optional.
Read our mission →How it works
Portable power.
A few simple steps.
Here’s the rental experience we’re planning. Final checkout methods, prices and return rules will be confirmed with the selected supplier.
Start your rental
Scan the station’s code, or use its payment reader where supported. Review the rate, billing blocks, authorization hold and return deadline before accepting.
Take a portable charger
A charged power bank is released. Check the cable matches your device and follow the station’s instructions.
Charge on the go
Keep your phone with you while you charge. Rental fees follow the terms displayed at checkout.
Return and check confirmation
Insert the charger into an eligible station and confirm the rental has ended. Cross-station returns depend on supplier compatibility and available locations; a Michigan return network has not been established.
Before you rent: We are preparing our first venue pilot. Final pricing, daily caps, lost-charger fees and support details remain pending. A daily cap must not be read as permission to keep a charger indefinitely.
Questions about the program →Our mission
Keep people connected.
Build something useful.
Ampvian is a proposed Michigan business with a simple ambition: make portable charging convenient and build giving into the way we operate.
We intend to donate a portion of our business profits to charity.
A commitment taking shape.
The specific donation percentage and charitable beneficiaries have not been finalized. We will announce those details when they are approved and report completed donations accurately.
Ampvian is not presented as a registered charity. No charitable partnership or completed donation is claimed.
Giving is your choice.
Host venues may voluntarily donate any percentage of their earned commission, including 100%, once the arrangement is finalized.
Ampvian’s own profit donations and a venue’s commission donations would be separate. Beneficiaries and donation arrangements will be announced when finalized.
Good questions, clear answers
Before we plug in.
Learn about our planned hosting program. Equipment and placement terms are confirmed before installation.
Does installation cost anything?
We aim to offer qualifying venues $0 upfront installation. The venue would provide agreed space, electricity and access. Final responsibilities and any exceptions must be in a signed placement agreement.
How much space is required?
We are evaluating countertop equipment. Exact dimensions, clearance, mounting and electrical requirements will be confirmed before a site is approved.
Who maintains the station?
Ampvian would coordinate maintenance, battery inventory and supplier support. Staff would not be expected to issue batteries manually. Response hours and service commitments are not yet finalized.
How do rental payments work?
Customers would pay through the selected supplier’s supported checkout. Rates, billing blocks, caps, any authorization hold, merchant identity and return rules must be shown before payment. Rental checkout will be available at installed stations.
How does the venue earn commission?
The proposed starting share is 10%, negotiable up to 15%. We propose calculating it on rental revenue after refunds and excluding tax, before supplier/payment fees, with monthly statements and payment after reconciliation. Final terms and treatment of adjustments require agreement.
Can we donate part or all of our commission?
Yes, that is part of our proposed program. A venue could voluntarily allocate any percentage of its earned commission, including 100%, once the donation arrangement and beneficiary are approved. Donating is optional; no tax deduction is promised.
What happens if a charger is lost?
A non-return charge may apply under the selected supplier’s terms. The exact amount, deadline and interaction with rental fees will be disclosed before checkout. The applicable policy will be displayed before checkout.
Does hosting require a long-term commitment?
We propose starting with a limited pilot and clear written termination/removal terms. No minimum term or automatic renewal has been finalized.
Can a charger be returned at any charging station?
No. Returns would be limited to eligible stations on the selected supplier’s compatible network. Available Michigan locations, operating hours and full-station procedures must be confirmed. Ampvian has no installed return network yet.
Is Ampvian operating already?
Ampvian is in planning for its first pilot. Supplier selection, name clearance, legal operating structure and final hosting terms remain under review. We are accepting inquiries for our first venue pilot.
