In addition to home charging services, LeasePlan clients will have access to most of ChargePoint’s more than 110,000 activated places to charge on its network with additional access to thousands more public places to charge across North America through roaming agreements with other EV charging networks.
“LeasePlan has an unwavering dedication to a more sustainable future paired with the promise of enablement and convenience for our clients. With EVs on the rise here in the U.S., we are already at the heart of this exciting opportunity. Our partnership with ChargePoint allows us to further support the adoption of electric vehicles in a way that is more easily attainable to our clients,” said Matt Dyer, CEO LeasePlan- USA. “This partnership will be a key factor in our EV100 promise to achieve net zero emissions across our 1.9 million vehicle customer fleet by 2030.”
“ChargePoint is committed to increasing the adoption of electric mobility and the agreement with LeasePlan will help accelerate the shift to electrification across a wide range of fleets,” said Michael Hughes, Chief Revenue Officer, ChargePoint. “ChargePoint has remained focused on building a platform to enable EV charging for more than a decade, with a single portfolio designed to meet the unique needs of any fleet. We partner with companies like LeasePlan to ensure the transition is seamless along every step of the journey to electrification. Partnering with LeasePlan is a blueprint for how charging companies and fleet management services can collaborate to help companies meet sustainability targets, drive down maintenance and operation costs and, ultimately, move more people and cars on electricity now and into the future.”
