CLEVELAND, OH AND CAMPBELL, CA / ACCESS Newswire / May 22, 2025 / Intelligent power management company Eaton, together with ChargePoint, a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, today announced a collaboration to accelerate and simplify the deployment of EV charging infrastructure in the U.S., Canada and Europe. The companies will integrate EV charging and infrastructure solutions, co-developing new technologies to advance bidirectional power flow and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capabilities-enabling EVs to act as a power source for homes, buildings and more.
Providing a one-stop shop for the EV charging ecosystem, the companies will deliver chargers, electrical infrastructure and engineering services as turnkey offerings enabling the electrification of transportation, from vehicles to chargers to the grid. Eaton and ChargePoint will streamline the purchase, design and deployment of EV charging projects, offering joint solutions that will help customers effectively manage site power requirements, optimize infrastructure and enhance reliability at a reduced cost.
Paul Ryan, general manager, energy transition at Eaton, said: "Customers rely on Eaton to solve their toughest power management challenges. This game-changing partnership will help do just that for vehicle charging-bringing together trusted power distribution and EV charging solutions to simplify electrification at scale."
With Eaton's collaboration, ChargePoint elevates its strategic position as an end-to-end enabler of the EV ecosystem, from grid to vehicle. As EV charging infrastructure matures, core components like chargers and infrastructure must integrate at scale to realize their fullest potential. ChargePoint's work with Eaton and numerous automotive OEMs will enable the seamless integration of chargers, infrastructure and EVs, managed with ease on the ChargePoint cloud software platform.
"Our partnership with Eaton will deliver innovation that addresses the biggest barriers to electrified transportation," said Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint.
