ChargePoint & Stem sign EV charging deal

California-headquartered electric vehicle (EV) charging network ChargePoint and AI-driven clean energy system provider Stem, Inc. have agreed a deal aimed at accelerating the deployment of EV charging and battery storage solutions for “highway corridor DC fast charging and other EV charging applications like fleet charging”. ChargePoint will analyse the EV charging demand at EV site locations looking to install DC chargers, assess their eligibility for incentive programs—including the National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI)—and work with Stem to determine if a battery energy storage system may reduce the EV site’s operating costs.
