ChargePoint, Gatik Team for EV System
ChargePoint and Gatik will develop together an electric ecosystem for autonomous vehicles designed to maximize sustainability, operational efficiency, and economics for ChargePoint and Gatik’s customers across North America. The strategic partnership will produce infrastructure and integrated services to help decarbonize the B2B short-haul logistics sector, according to the companies.
“Our partnership with Gatik will help more fleets to realize their e-mobility and decarbonization goals,” said Rich Mohr, VP of fleet at ChargePoint, in a prepared statement. “ChargePoint has proven experience across multiple customer applications and use cases.”
Arjun Narang, co-founder and CTO at Gatik, stated:
“Gatik’s autonomous electric fleet is uniquely positioned to increase efficiency and reliability across the supply chain’s middle mile, and drive sustainability across critical operational metrics for our customers. Our partnership with ChargePoint will ensure that we’re not only meeting intensifying demand for our product offering and service, but offering our customers access to national charging infrastructure and a wealth of technical advantages to support them in meeting their corporate sustainability goals.”
Customers transporting goods in Gatik’s autonomous electric fleet will have access to ChargePoint’s expertise in site design, interoperability validation, and lower investment costs. Gatik will also have access to a nationwide charging network and fleet-specific software that provides telematics intelligence configurable to each customer’s operations, as well as modular charging hardware to minimize upfront costs by reducing required electrical capacity. This strategic electric ecosystem collaboration for the middle mile will play a key role in the electrified logistics sector.
