ChargePoint introduces cloud subscription plan
With the software solution, all revenue beyond the initial software fee is remitted back to the station owner monthly, and activation of the stations is included under the Essentials plan at no extra charge.
The plan is currently available only with the lowest-cost level 2 charging station that ChargePoint offers, the CPF50, and is advertised as simplifying the charging infrastructure setup process by “eliminating the need for software subscriptions or renewals.” In its press release, ChargePoint states that the offer is intended to be a solution for “condominiums, apartment buildings, and similar multifamily housing complexes which have historically struggled to offer charging for residents,” as it allows for multiple users and guests, as well as a direct payment solution.
“ChargePoint wants small businesses to offer EV charging as seamlessly and easily as possible,” said Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint. “Innovative new offerings like ChargePoint’s Essential cloud plan lower the barrier to entry by shouldering ongoing costs and deploying the $699 CPF50 charger to minimize upfront investment. The plan is an excellent way to offer charging without sacrificing quality or the ability to scale.”
Together with Nissan, ChargePoint recently also launched a deal in the USA, as well as a fleet charging solution which also utilizes the company’s CPF50 chargers. 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.
