Eaton has partnered with ChargePoint to accelerate and simplify the deployment of EV infrastructure in Canada, the U.S. and Europe.

The two companies will integrate EV charging infrastructure and co-develop new technologies to advance bidirectional power flow and vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capabilities.

The partnership will provide fleets with a one-stop shop for EV charging, offering turnkey options for EV charging and the ability to use excess energy to power buildings or return power to the grid.

“Customers rely on Eaton to solve their toughest power management challenges,” said Paul Ryan, general manager, energy transition at Eaton. “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.”

“Our partnership with Eaton will deliver innovation that addresses the biggest barriers to electrified transportation,” added Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint. “Together with Eaton, we will create unprecedented value for institutions that deploy EV charging, accelerating electrification, and decarbonizing the planet in parallel.”
