Chargepoint activates 30,000th EV charger

ChargePoint , the world's largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network, has reached a milestone after activating its 30,000th charging spot.

The 30,000th spot, located at Hamilton Place Mall in Chattanooga, Tennessee, was installed by the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority (CARTA) with CBL Properties to promote clean energy and reduce greenhouse emissions.

The Chargepoint EV infrastructure’s rapid expansion can be attributed to the growth of the EV market, expected to increase at 25 percent by 2025.

Moreover, the company’s business model allows independent companies and individuals to own and operate the stations. ChargePoint builds and supports the charging stations but doesn’t own the stations.

"We've been busy building the network that's necessary for EVs to become mainstream. As the demand for EV charging continues to surge, charging infrastructure expands and gas stations disappear, it won't be long before drivers start suffering from ‘gas anxiety,' not range anxiety,” said Pasquale Romano, ChargePoint's CEO.
