ChargePoint Wants To Fix The Condo EV Charging Problem With 2,500 New Ports

The majority of EV charging in the U.S. happens at home, but that’s not necessarily true for condo dwellers.

To fix the EV charging problem for apartment buildings, ChargePoint wants to install roughly 2,500 charging ports at multifamily residences starting in 2026.

ChargePoint partnered with OBE Power, which will own and operate the chargers, negating landlord investment.

Living in an apartment complex can be tricky for EV drivers. Even though a whopping 80% of electric car charging sessions happen at home in the United States, apartment dwellers often need to rely on public infrastructure because there aren’t any Level 2 stalls where they live.

To try and fix this issue, ChargePoint has partnered with OBE Power to deploy approximately 2,500 charging ports at multifamily residences in the U.S. starting this year. OBE Power will own and operate the chargers. The company will also cover energy cost reimbursement, carbon credit revenue, ongoing maintenance, insurance, and repairs at no cost for the landlords.
