ChargePoint introduces more affordable fleet charging solution
The charging solution is priced from $699 and is designed to enable “those who are considering electric vehicles for their fleet to affordably procure and install charging while maximizing the benefits of going electric.” ChargePoint advertises that fleet operators can optimize their total cost of ownership by bundling ChargePoint’s fleet management software.
The software package itself includes a display of real time-visibility of vehicle readiness, coupled with power usage and station status. It also includes energy management tools to maximize fuel savings, as well as control station access. ChargePoint also mentions simplify complexity and station management with ease using an all-in-one solution. Multiple CPF50s can be connected and managed from the platform, which also allows for power sharing via the cloud to further reduce charging costs and optimize battery health. The system is compatible with both J1772 and NACS connectors.
“With our lowest cost charger for commercial vehicles we have a solution that makes charging more accessible for small businesses who want to electrify their fleet, or for large fleets that are focused on reducing total cost of ownership. We’re making the hardware more affordable, and when combined with our powerful fleet software platform, the offering can meet the charging needs of fleets of all sizes to optimize their savings,” said Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint.
ChargePoint has also recently been expanding its charging business in the public sector, and received $19 million to build fast charging infrastructure in California. In August, the company also announced its newly minted use of AI in diagnosing faults in charging stations. Just before that, it also signed a deal with Daimler Buses over ChargePoint’s telematics and charge management system.
