ChargePoint and OBE Power to Deploy Thousands of EV Chargers at Multifamily Residences Across North America

ChargePoint (NYSE: CHPT), a global leader in electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions, announced a partnership with OBE Power, a charge point owner focused on deploying and operating EV charging infrastructure at scale. Under the partnership OBE Power will utilize ChargePoint EV charging solutions at multifamily residences, with plans to deploy approximately 2,500 charging ports starting in 2026.

The agreement enables both companies to scale rapidly in one of EV charging’s fastest-growing market segments. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, 80% of EV charging takes place at home, yet the availability of charging at multifamily housing lags far behind that of single-family homes. The partnership addresses this imbalance by combining ChargePoint’s best-in-class EV charging technology with OBE Power’s owned and operated infrastructure model, creating a scalable solution that removes financial as well as operational barriers to EV charging adoption in the multifamily sector. ChargePoint will serve as OBE Power’s exclusive technology provider of EV charging solutions, including chargers, software, and services.

“ChargePoint and OBE Power are expanding our relationship from hotels and hospitality into multifamily housing, which has long lacked a simple and scalable path for EV charging,” said Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint. “Together, we are enabling drivers to charge where they live. We’re also delivering a turnkey solution for landlords thanks to ChargePoint’s technology combined with OBE Power’s owned‑and‑operated business model.”

“After more than a decade of collaboration with ChargePoint to deploy EV charging where people live, work, and stay, we have built a strong track record of delivering the reliability and performance EV drivers expect,” said Alejandro Burgana, Cofounder and Managing Director of OBE Power. “By combining ChargePoint’s technology with OBE Power’s owned-and-operated model, we deliver EV charging solutions purpose-built for multifamily communities.”

OBE Power will deploy turnkey multifamily EV charging solutions through its owned and operated infrastructure model, then manage the charging solutions end-to-end, including driver support. As part of the offering, OBE Power covers energy cost reimbursement, carbon credit revenue, ongoing maintenance, insurance, and repairs for the charging infrastructure at no cost to the landlord.

ChargePoint and OBE Power have already aligned their multifamily development pipelines and will begin deploying charging infrastructure under the partnership in the near term.
