ChargePoint and OBE Power to install 2,500 EV chargers at US apartment and condo sites
ChargePoint has partnered with OBE Power to deploy 2,500 new EV chargers at multi-family residential buildings across the United States. The move addresses a gap in home charging access, as a Plug In America survey found that 85% of EV owners and 84% of prospective buyers live in single-family homes, with convenient home charging cited as the most significant economic factor for EV adoption. The partnership targets apartment and condo complexes, where onsite charging remains limited.
Why it matters
The 2,500-unit rollout represents a significant procurement opportunity in the underserved multi-family residential segment, where charging infrastructure lags behind single-family home installations. For CPOs and installers, the ChargePoint and OBE Power partnership signals growing investment in a market segment critical to broadening EV adoption beyond homeowners.
