CLEVELAND, OH and CAMPBELL, CA, Sep 8, 2025 – Eaton and ChargePoint have announced a charging architecture that pushes EV infrastructure for public charging and fleets. Their ChargePoint Express Grid delivers up to 600kW and introduces vehicle-to-everything (V2X) capabilities for both passenger and heavy-duty vehicles.
The integration of ChargePoint’s express chargers with Eaton’s electrical solutions aim to ease grid limitations and lower the cost of expanding EV charging. Using Eaton’s “Everything as a Grid” framework and V2X functions, the system links onsite renewables, energy storage, and vehicle batteries with local energy markets to reduce fleet fueling costs.
“Accelerating electrification at scale hinges on industry-changing technology from trusted manufacturers that can be deployed faster while achieving new levels of reliability and efficiency at a significantly lower cost,” said Paul Ryan, vice president and general manager of energy transition at Eaton. “Our partnership with ChargePoint is an accelerator for innovation in electrification, with novel technology today and into the future that makes going electric the smart choice.”
“The new ChargePoint Express architecture, and particularly the Express Grid variant, will take DC fast charging to levels of performance and cost not previously imagined. This latest technological breakthrough further demonstrates our commitment to deliver innovation,” said Rick Wilmer, CEO of ChargePoint. “Combined with Eaton’s end-to-end grid capabilities, ChargePoint is delivering solutions to help EVs win on pure economics, regardless of tax incentives or government support.”
Eaton will engineer each Express configuration to meet site requirements and deliver the power infrastructure ready for installation. A skid-mounted option is available to speed installation, reduce on-site equipment, and simplify connections to the grid and distributed energy resources (DERs). Eaton also plans to introduce solid-state transformer technology next year through its acquisition of Resilient Power Systems, to support DC applications in EV market.
ChargePoint’s Express Grid, powered by Eaton, will debut at the RE+ trade show in Las Vegas.(Booth #V8071) Eaton will demonstrate electrification and charging technologies, while Eaton’s vice president of engineering and technology Luiz Huet de Bacellar will highlight the benefits of DC microgrids and Eaton’s contribution towards emerging safety standards.
