ChargePoint launches new global charging solution for electric fleets

ChargePoint Holdings has launched a new global AC EV charging solution to help businesses and fleets with their e-mobility needs.

The CP6o00 is said to be ChargePoint’s most flexible and serviceable charging solution to date

Dubbed the CP6000, it’s described as the firm’s most flexible and serviceable charging solution to date and caters for both one- and three-phase power at an adaptable output of 3.7 to 22kW per port.

The CP6000 has also been designed to operate on Europe’s variety of power grids and regulations. For example, it meets the UK government’s requirements for contactless payment capabilities for all AC stations of 7.1kW and above. Its modular design also supports flexible configurations and easy upgrades.

ChargePoint chief product officer Bill Loewenthal said: “EV charging needs are universal, even if what and how we drive varies by geography. The CP6000 has been designed across our R&D facilities in North America and Europe to cater to the charging needs of businesses, fleets and EV drivers. Built on our decade-plus of experience serving EV drivers and all types of organisations, CP6000 has what businesses need to be part of the future of electric mobility.”

The CP6000 works with ChargePoint’s software platform, which offers real-time visibility into revenue, energy costs and driver details, complete control over pricing and driver access, and actionable reporting with over 35 pre-built charts and reports.

The new charging solution joins ChargePoint’s existing network. Its driver app has over 200,000 active places to charge on its network globally, as well an additional 355,000 public places to charge through roaming integrations with other major networks.

RAW Charging has already added the new CP6000 series to its range of solutions. CEO Bruce Galliford said: “Leaving the technology to ChargePoint, we can focus on deployment. We have more projects coming for Aviva Investors, Greene King, McArthurGlen and other customers. We’re currently planning strategic expansion across Europe working with organisations that have a portfolio of sites across the continent. This year we’ll be putting in four new sites per working day, and when you’re doing that, you want it to work flexibly and at scale.”
