ChargePoint and Eaton have announced a strategic collaboration aimed at simplifying the deployment of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure across North America and Europe. The partnership will integrate ChargePoint’s cloud-based software and charging hardware with Eaton’s scalable power distribution technologies to provide turnkey electrification solutions for commercial, fleet, workplace, and public charging applications.
The joint effort focuses on unifying EV charging equipment with broader energy infrastructure, streamlining the design and installation process. A key feature of the collaboration is support for vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capabilities, enabling electric vehicles to return stored energy to homes, buildings, or the grid—an advancement seen as critical to realising the full potential of bidirectional charging and enhancing grid resilience.
“This is a game-changing partnership that will simplify electrification at scale,” said Paul Ryan, general manager for energy transition at Eaton. Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint, added, “ChargePoint’s partnership with Eaton will deliver innovation that addresses the biggest barriers to electrified transportation. Together with Eaton we will create unprecedented value for institutions that deploy EV charging, accelerating electrification, and decarbonising the planet in parallel.” All services under the collaboration will be managed through ChargePoint’s cloud platform, offering centralised oversight and real-time visibility of infrastructure performance.
