The company traces its origins to Coulomb Technologies, founded in 2007, before rebranding as ChargePoint in 2012.

The company has positioned itself as one of the largest EV charging network providers in North America, with a substantial installed charging port base and an asset-light business model in which customers typically own the charging hardware while subscribing to ChargePoint’s software ecosystem. Its strategic positioning emphasizes interoperability, cloud connectivity, fleet management capabilities, and enterprise-focused charging solutions.
