At the very end of the summit, EV-Box CEO Kristof Vereenooghe slow-walked us through the announcement, somewhat teasing the audience as he unveiled that EV-Box had just become a part of Engie.
ChargePoint announced today that it has secured $82 million in funding in support of a full-frontal attack on European markets (a move we’ve known about for months but agonizingly had to hold our tongue on).
