As electric vehicle (EV) adoption continues to grow in the United States, businesses, property owners, and fleet operators are looking for reliable charging solutions that are easy to deploy and manage. Schneider Electric Launches Charge Pro, a next-generation Level 2 commercial EV charging solution, to address these evolving needs with integrated hardware, intelligent software, and scalable energy management capabilities.
Designed for a wide range of commercial applications, the upgraded Charge Pro platform helps simplify EV charging deployment while reducing operational complexity and improving long-term reliability.
A Smarter Level 2 EV Charging Solution
Schneider Electric Launches Charge Pro as an all-in-one commercial EV charging platform built for multi-unit dwellings (MUDs), workplaces, fleet operations, hotels, retail centers, and public charging locations.
The solution combines robust Level 2 charging hardware with EV Connect Software+™, a cloud-based Charging Station Management System (CSMS) that enables businesses to monitor charger performance, manage user access, track charging activity, and monetize charging services across multiple locations.
By integrating hardware, software, and support services into one ecosystem, Charge Pro helps organizations reduce deployment challenges, improve charger uptime, and expand EV charging infrastructure more efficiently.
Built for Property Owners, Fleets, and Commercial Sites
Commercial EV charging requirements vary widely depending on the location and customer base. Charge Pro has been developed to support multiple use cases, making it suitable for:
- Multi-unit residential buildings
- Corporate workplaces
- Fleet charging depots
- Hotels and hospitality locations
- Retail shopping centers
- Public destination charging stations
The platform is designed to help property managers and fleet operators scale charging infrastructure while maintaining reliable performance and minimizing maintenance requirements.
Integrated Software Simplifies Charging Operations
One of Charge Pro’s biggest advantages is its built-in software ecosystem.
Every new installation includes one year of EV Connect Software+™ at activation. The cloud platform provides several intelligent management features, including:
- Remote charger monitoring
- Access management
- Usage reporting
- Driver support services
- Performance tracking
- Multi-site charging management
These capabilities enable businesses to monitor charging stations in real time while improving operational efficiency and reducing downtime.
An industry-leading five-year hardware warranty further enhances reliability and lowers the total cost of ownership.
New Features Improve User Experience
Schneider Electric Launches Charge Pro with several new enhancements aimed at simplifying installation and improving the charging experience for both operators and EV drivers.
1. Faster Installation
A streamlined commissioning process reduces setup time, allowing commercial charging sites to become operational more quickly.
2. QR Code Charging
Drivers can begin a charging session simply by scanning a QR code. No mobile app download or account creation is required, creating a faster and more convenient user experience.
3. Strong Cybersecurity
The platform is developed using Schneider Electric’s cybersecurity best practices, helping protect charging infrastructure and operational data against evolving digital threats.
4. Flexible Connector Support
Charge Pro supports both J1772 and the North American Charging Standard (NACS), with charging configurations of up to 80 amps. This broad compatibility allows businesses to serve a wider range of electric vehicles currently on U.S. roads.
Supporting Scalable EV Infrastructure
As commercial EV adoption accelerates, managing electricity demand becomes increasingly important.
Charge Pro integrates seamlessly with Schneider Electric’s wider electrical infrastructure portfolio, including panelboards, switchgear, and circuit protection systems. This integration enables customers to better balance electrical loads, optimize available power, and prepare for future charging expansion.
The company also works with certified installation partners to provide a coordinated approach for deploying and scaling commercial EV charging infrastructure across multiple sites.
Executive Perspective
According to Shawn Bonacorsi, Head of Electrification Solutions at Schneider Electric North America Operations, businesses today need EV charging systems that are dependable, easy to deploy, and capable of delivering long-term operational value.
He emphasized that Charge Pro brings together Schneider Electric’s hardware, software, firmware, and energy expertise into a single integrated platform designed to reduce complexity while providing reliable charging performance across commercial locations.
Final Thoughts
Schneider Electric Launches Charge Pro at a time when commercial EV charging demand is rapidly expanding across the United States. By combining intelligent software, flexible hardware, advanced security, and seamless integration with broader energy management solutions, the company offers a scalable platform that meets the needs of workplaces, fleets, residential communities, and public charging operators.
As organizations invest in electric mobility, Charge Pro delivers a solution that simplifies operations, keeps chargers available, and supports the next generation of commercial EV infrastructure.
