ChargePoint - Express Charging Station

Introducing ChargePoint Express, the DC fast charging solution that redefines what it means to refuel your electric vehicle. Experience the exhilaration of adding hundreds of miles of range in under 30 minutes** (newer Express Plus models deliver stunning speeds with up to 500 kW). ChargePoint Express empowers you to hit the road with confidence, whether you're a busy professional, a road trip devotee, or an eco-conscious driver.

Charging Speed

ChargePoint Express stations can deliver up to 62.5 kW of power, which can add hundreds of miles of range to an EV in under 30 minutes. Some newer models, like the Express Plus, can deliver up to 500 kW, potentially adding hundreds of miles in under 15 minutes! Faster charging than the 62.5 kW model is still in limited deployment.
