The largest vehicle charging network in the U.S. is counting on electric pickup trucks to finally win over American drivers for EVs.
ChargePoint Holdings Inc. Chief Executive Officer Pasquale Romano expects many businesses that maintain fleets of pickups will switch to electrics in the next few years, because they’re cheaper to maintain. And the workers driving those fleets will get hooked on their performance, Romano says.
