ChargePoint Essential Cloud Plan Enables Small
Businesses to Offer Enterprise Levels of Service
ChargePoint (NYSE: CHPT), a leading provider of networked
charging solutions for electric vehicles (EVs), today announced an
easier way to offer EV charging. Named the ChargePoint Essential
cloud plan, it represents an alternative to a traditional cloud
subscription. The ChargePoint Essential cloud plan offers a
competitively priced software fee that is covered by driver
payments for charging. All revenue beyond this fee is remitted back
to the station owner monthly, and activation of the stations is
included under the Essentials plan at no extra charge,

With the ChargePoint Essential cloud plan, currently available
with the company’s lowest-cost level 2 charging solution, the
CPF50, customers may reap the benefits of ChargePoint's leading
software platform while eliminating the need for software
subscriptions or renewals. Ideal applications for the ChargePoint
Essential cloud plan are scenarios where the chargers are available
to the public, but on a restricted basis. These can include
multifamily housing, hotels, the hospitality industry, and
workplaces. The ChargePoint Essential cloud can eliminate ongoing
subscription fees by using charging revenue to cover the cost of
the cloud plan. This effectively provides a financing mechanism for
those who wish to offer charging, with any surplus revenue paid out
to the station owner after covering monthly costs.
“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.”
The ChargePoint Essential cloud plan is the perfect solution for
condominiums, apartment buildings, and similar multifamily housing
complexes which have historically struggled to offer charging for
residents. The ChargePoint Essential cloud plan enables access for
residents or guests, direct payment for the energy and associated
costs, and consolidated billing so management is not burdened.
Multiple residents can share a single charger while still paying
individually, and ongoing costs are covered by the session fees at
a rate set by management. The CPF50 offers site hosts a flexible
charging solution available in single or dual-port configurations.
Additionally, with the ChargePoint Essential cloud plan’s power
sharing capabilities, site hosts can add incremental stations
without overloading the location’s electrical service. This keeps
installation costs affordable and minimizes the need for initial
investment.
