ChargePoint will be the exclusive provider of hardware, software and services for Optimus Energy Solutions' expanded charging network and plans more than 200 public charging points in the southeastern US. Optimus will own and operate the sites, with many installations planned at quick-service restaurants and retail centers. The expansion is intended to increase the availability of fast and reliable charging infrastructure; the announcement comes against the backdrop of ChargePoint's recently weaker share price. » More on de.investing.com

ChargePoint shares rose about 5.8% after the announcement that the company would be added to the Russell 2000 Index effective June 29. The company was simultaneously and automatically included in the related growth and value indexes, which typically leads to increased demand from index funds and ETFs. ChargePoint offers charging solutions for electric vehicles and connects drivers worldwide to more than 1.4 million charging points. » More on de.investing.com
