ChargePoint opens five ultra-fast EV charging sites in New York

CAMPBELL, Calif. - ChargePoint Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: CHPT), a leading provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions with annual revenue of $417 million, has announced the launch of five new ultra-fast charging locations across upstate New York. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company appears undervalued at its current market capitalization of $303 million, though investors should note its WEAK overall financial health score. The expansion is part of a collaboration with the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA) and includes sites in Cortland, Waterloo, Lake Placid, Niagara Falls, and Ripley.

The initiative is aimed at bolstering the charging infrastructure to support the increasing number of EV drivers in the state. The collaboration underscores the importance of public-private partnerships in advancing the deployment of EV charging stations, particularly at the state level. While ChargePoint maintains a healthy current ratio of 1.93 and operates with moderate debt levels, InvestingPro data reveals the company is quickly burning through cash. ChargePoint’s CEO, Rick Wilmer, emphasized the accelerated scaling of much-needed EV infrastructure through such collaborative efforts.

NYSERDA’s President and CEO, Doreen M. Harris, highlighted the project’s alignment with the state’s goals to reduce pollution and enhance air quality. The support from NYSERDA’s Clean Transportation program helps to lessen the capital investment required for public charging sites, with a focus on expanding access in underserved communities. According to the press release, half of the fast-charging stations funded through this program will be situated in areas designated as disadvantaged by New York State’s Climate Justice Working Group.

Drivers can locate, use, and pay for the charging services at these sites through the ChargePoint mobile app. This development represents a step forward in ChargePoint’s ongoing mission to provide convenient charging solutions and contribute to the transition to electric mobility.
