ChargePoint, a leading provider of networked charging solutions for electric vehicles (EVs), today announced the availability of a low-cost charging solution to enable more fleets to go electric. Priced at $699, the Level 2 charger lowers the barrier to entry for fleet electrification, while still enabling access to one of the world’s most advanced fleet and telematics software platforms. ChargePoint’s suite of products enable a seamless charging experience for fleet operators and drivers, is estimated to lower total cost of ownership, and helps fleets meet their emissions reduction goals.

“ChargePoint has always been committed to making it easy for everyone to go electric, whether they be a driver, a business, or a fleet,” said Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint. “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.”

Fleets are going electric to maximize cost savings, whilst simultaneously meeting sustainability goals by lowering their emissions. Transportation represents the largest contributor of direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the U.S., responsible for nearly 30% of total direct GHG emissions. Broader deployment of zero emissions vehicles like commercial trucks will play a key role in meeting federal emissions reductions targets. Fleet operators need the right tools to optimize these mixed fuel fleets and prepare for a majority-electric future.

Commercial electric vehicles have long been in development, but are only now beginning to arrive in volume. New vehicles across the spectrum of light, medium, and heavy-duty trucks and vans are ramping up production in North America and Europe, enabling many fleets to finally realize the benefits of electrification.
