ChargePoint Extends Leadership in NEVI Funded EV Fast Charging Awards
ChargePoint (NYSE: CHPT) has announced its continued leadership in enabling DC fast charging at National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) program funded locations. The company has been selected for awards at more than 125 sites, totaling $75 million in proposed grant funding and representing nearly 600 fast charging ports across 20 U.S. states. ChargePoint's Express Plus charging stations, capable of delivering charge speeds up to 500kWh, are featured at all NEVI sites awarded to the company's customers or partners.
Rhode Island has become the first state to complete Phase 1 of the NEVI program, with two newly opened ChargePoint sites along Interstate 95. The NEVI program, part of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, aims to make ultra-fast charging accessible and reliable across U.S. highways with a $5 billion investment in EV infrastructure.

ChargePoint's strong positioning within the NEVI program indicates significant market penetration in the EV fast charging sector. With the completion of Phase 1 in Rhode Island, the company strengthens its market leadership. The statement by Rhode Island's Governor highlights the importance of public-private partnerships in achieving climate goals, which can translate to a favorable public perception and potentially higher adoption rates.
The modularity and flexibility of the ChargePoint Express Plus platform are key differentiators in the market. Capable of delivering up to 500kWh charge speeds and supporting both CCS and NACS connectors, it can serve a broad range of EVs, including popular models like Tesla. This makes ChargePoint's offering adaptable and future-proof, which is a valuable asset in a rapidly evolving industry.
However, market dynamics are competitive. Other companies are also vying for NEVI funds and building their networks. Investors should monitor how ChargePoint's market share evolves and whether it can maintain its leadership position amid increasing competition.
