ChargePoint Closes $43 Million with Funding from Siemens.

ChargePoint, one of the world’s largest electric vehicle (EV) charging networks, today announced

that it secured an additional $43 million in funding. With participation from technology leader Siemens,

this new funding will help to further accelerate the company’s commitment to e-mobility across Europe.

The latest funding follows an initial $82 million investment and closes the total Series G round at

$125 million, led by Daimler. The investment round will contribute to ongoing efforts to develop,

with customers and complementary partners, a comprehensive EV charging network and

enable ChargePoint’s full range of charging solutions for passenger cars, electric buses and

trucks to be deployed across the region.

Siemens is a global powerhouse in electrical engineering and electronics providing a wide range

of transportation electrification products and services to electric utilities as well as to industrial

and infrastructure customers. Siemens Energy Management is a current supplier to

ChargePoint for complementary DC charging technology. Siemens has been an investor in

ChargePoint since 2010. The new investment in ChargePoint is in line with Siemens’ general

commitment to support the expansion of e-mobility in the European Union (EU). As the market

for e-mobility is expected to grow significantly, Siemens Energy Management sees a wider

range of opportunities for future cooperation through complementary offerings addressing the

full scope of its customers’ charging infrastructure needs.

“ChargePoint is committed to laying a foundation for the future of mobility and this latest

investment by Siemens Energy Management will further catapult our vision of creating the most

ubiquitous and easy-to-use charging network Europe has ever seen,” said Pasquale Romano,

President and CEO, ChargePoint, Inc. “Investment and partnerships with technology leaders

like Siemens will enable our team to accelerate the expansion in Europe and encourage EV

adoption in the region. Growing support from influential industry players and investors

demonstrates widespread confidence in our business model and product and service portfolio.”

ChargePoint also announced the appointment of Ralf Christian, CEO of the Siemens Energy

Management Division, to the company’s Board of Directors. Christian has more than 28 years of

experience at Siemens. Prior to his current role, he served as CEO in several businesses,

including Low and Medium Voltage Distribution, High Voltage Transmission and Smart Power

Distribution. Christian’s deep knowledge of the power, energy and smart cities sectors, coupled

with years of experience in positions throughout Siemens, make him an impactful addition to the

ChargePoint Board.

“ChargePoint is a very successful company in the area of charging infrastructure for electric

vehicles. Our investment represents an acknowledgement by Siemens of the future and the

potential of electromobility,” says Christian. “Siemens will support ChargePoint with its

complementary technology portfolio and facilitate the integration of vehicle charging into modern

power grids. I look forward to successful collaboration with ChargePoint for their expansion in

Europe, including in my additional role as a member of the Board.”

In addition to Daimler and Siemens, other existing investors Linse Capital, Rho Capital Partners,

BMW i Ventures and Braemar Energy Ventures also participated in Series G fundraising.
