ChargePoint announced the launch of its next‑generation platform on November 13, 2025, marking a significant upgrade to its software stack. The new platform is built from the ground up and is designed to deliver an AI‑driven experience for operators of all sizes, from single sites to global networks.
The platform’s architecture is open and modular, enabling fleet operators, commercial customers, vehicle OEMs, charge‑point operators, and energy providers to integrate a wide range of hardware and energy management systems. Early adopters have already deployed the solution in urban transit depots and highway charging corridors, demonstrating its flexibility and performance in real‑world scenarios.
ChargePoint’s Q3 FY2025 results provide context for the launch. Total revenue reached $99.6 million, a 9.7% year‑over‑year decline, but the company beat analyst estimates of $89.58 million. Subscription revenue grew 19% to $36.4 million, offsetting a 29% decline in networked charging systems revenue. GAAP gross margin improved to 23% from a negative 22% in the prior year, largely due to the higher margin mix of subscription services and disciplined cost control. Management highlighted that the platform’s AI capabilities are a key driver of subscription growth and margin expansion.
CEO Rick Wilmer emphasized the company’s focus on operational excellence and cash management, noting that the Q3 results “exceeded our expectations and demonstrate that our strategy, focus on operational excellence, and rigorous cash management are translating to tangible results.” CFO Mansi Khetani added that ChargePoint is continuing to reduce operating expenses, citing a $41 million annualized reduction announced in Q2 FY2025 and a 30% year‑over‑year decline in GAAP operating expenses in Q3 FY2025.
The market reacted positively to the revenue beat, with analysts noting that the company’s ability to deliver a subscription‑driven business model amid a broader decline in hardware sales signals a shift toward more predictable recurring revenue. The revenue beat was driven by strong demand in the subscription segment, while the decline in networked charging systems reflected softer hardware demand and inventory write‑downs. Investors viewed the platform launch as a strategic move to capture a larger share of the growing AI‑enabled charging market.
The launch positions ChargePoint to capitalize on the industry’s shift toward software‑centric solutions and dynamic pricing. By expanding its AI‑powered ecosystem, the company aims to increase subscription revenue and broaden its market reach across North America and Europe. The platform’s open architecture also supports future integrations with emerging energy storage and vehicle‑to‑grid technologies, reinforcing ChargePoint’s strategy to drive profitable growth through technology leadership.
