ChargePoint (NYSE:CHPT) (NYSE: CHPT) is a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions that designs, develops and markets charging hardware, software and services. The company’s portfolio includes Level 2 AC charging stations for residential, commercial and fleet applications, as well as DC fast charging systems suited for retail, hospitality and public use. ChargePoint’s integrated platform enables site hosts to manage charging infrastructure through cloud-based monitoring, analytics and billing tools, while EV drivers access and control charging sessions via a mobile app or RFID card.
Since its founding in 2007 and headquarters in Campbell, California, ChargePoint has built one of the largest open EV charging networks in the world. The company operates in North America and Europe, serving customers in the United States, Canada, Germany, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and select other markets. ChargePoint’s network model allows independent station owners, automotive OEMs, fleet operators and retail partners to brand, price and manage charging sites under a unified management system.
In February 2021, ChargePoint became publicly traded through a business combination with Switchback Energy Acquisition Corporation, broadening its access to capital for network expansion and product innovation. Over the years, the company has introduced enhancements such as smart charging features, demand management and energy optimization tools to help site hosts maximize uptime, reduce costs and integrate with on-site renewables and energy storage.
ChargePoint is led by President and Chief Executive Officer Pasquale Romano, who has overseen its growth from a Silicon Valley startup into a global charging network operator. Under his leadership, the company has focused on delivering end-to-end solutions that support the accelerating adoption of electric vehicles by residential users, corporate fleets and public agencies.
