ChargePoint, an EV charging solutions provider, is expanding its North American software to offer charging capabilities to other makes and models, according to a press release. It will begin the expansion with chargers made by LG, so customers will be able to use ChargePoint's software to operate LG's charging hardware.

"ChargePoint remains focused on delivering integrated, networked charging solutions that enable a seamless charging experience for drivers and site hosts," Rich Mohr, SVP of Americas at ChargePoint, said in the release. "By partnering with additional charging hardware manufacturers, we are enabling more customers to use the ChargePoint software platform to power their EV charging programs, delivering a world-class experience."

Hardware manufacturers can partner with ChargePoint to offer "ChargePoint Ready" hardware. This hardware includes stations that are pre-configured to operate on ChargePoint's platform and come equipped with a full suite of support services.
