ChargePoint Launches Express Solo, the World’s Fastest Standalone Charger for Mass-Market Passenger Vehicles

• Launch of the first product based on ChargePoint’s Express DC fast charging architecture
• Industry-leading power density with a dramatically smaller footprint
• Up to 600kW charging speed for a single EV, or shared across as many as four EVs
• The first ChargePoint system codeveloped with Eaton for bidirectional charging and battery storage integration
• ChargePoint’s first DC fast charger designed for sale in both North America and Europe

CAMPBELL, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ChargePoint (NYSE: CHPT), a global leader in electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, today introduced Express Solo: the world’s fastest standalone EV charger. Capable of delivering a 600kW charging speed to a single EV, Express Solo launches ChargePoint’s next generation DC fast charging architecture as an industry-leading innovation.

Continuing the expansion of ChargePoint’s award-winning hardware range beyond North America, Express Solo will be ChargePoint’s first DC charger to also be sold across Europe. Delivering high-power, scalable EV charging in a single compact cabinet, installation is now possible in tight spaces, at lower construction costs, all while increasing charging speed. Express Solo delivers approximately 40% higher power density than other DC charging solutions in the industry’s smallest footprint, making Express Solo ideal for the deployment of EV charging at sites that require fast charging in a limited space, such as an urban gas station or convenience stores. It is also ideal as the first charger on a site that is planned for future scale.

Express Solo can simultaneously charge two EVs, and it affordably pairs with an additional dispenser to charge up to four vehicles. When charging multiple vehicles, an Express Solo can deliver any combination of power levels up to 600kW per port, an industry-first innovation. This makes more fast charging ports available to drivers while increasing station owner revenue.

“The Express DC fast charging architecture delivers differentiation. Not just by higher output, but by how economically, efficiently, and flexibly that power is delivered. Express Solo combines unmatched power density, direct DC power input capabilities for solar integration and battery storage, and a modular architecture that scales with minimal cost and complexity. Collectively this redefines DC fast charging from a fixed asset into a future-ready energy platform,” said Rick Wilmer, CEO at ChargePoint. “For those with plans for expansion, Express Solo enables scalable configurations for any charging scenario, futureproofing a station owner’s investment by giving drivers an ideal fast charging experience today while offering flexibility for the EVs of tomorrow.”

ChargePoint’s Express architecture, debuted by the Express Solo, addresses the four main challenges to scaling DC fast charging: grid constraints, faster charging speeds, reliability, and cost. Express Solo will be joined by a range of DC charging solutions designed to address these challenges head-on. They deliver more power in a smaller footprint, enable bidirectional charging and integrate seamlessly with energy storage systems. These solutions are also cheaper to install and operate, ensuring a reliable charge for EV drivers - regardless of NACS or CCS connector type - thanks to ChargePoint’s revolutionary Omni Port system.

The Express architecture encompasses the first solution codeveloped by ChargePoint and intelligent power management company Eaton. The companies’ innovative collaboration integrates EV charging hardware along with the necessary end-to-end power infrastructure to accelerate and simplify the deployment of EV charging. Together, the companies developed ChargePoint Express Grid powered by Eaton to deploy with lower capital investment, within a smaller footprint, and with lower operating costs when compared to similar DC charging solutions. Now, the Express Solo can seamlessly integrate with onsite renewable energy generation such as solar panels, energy storage systems such as batteries, and Eaton’s power distribution technologies.
