"It's what I do, I invent stuff!" Tom Tormey - Charge Point Vice President “No thank you,” I said. “I just came here to take some pictures quick.” “Oh yeah, do I really have to be in the picture?” He asked. “I mean, I am writing a profile about you, so it would be kinda weird not to have a picture with you in it.” “Okay, Okay.” He said. Devan was helping me set up my equipment. I set up my black sheet over the door and and got my camera ready. I was about to take the picture when devan looked over and said: “Really Rachel? Are you really using auto focus?” I rolled my eyes and switched to manual. “Happy now?” “Actually, yes.” He said with a satisfied grin. I sighed, and took a few pictures. After about 10 I was satisfied. Tom insisted I needed his approval on which of the pictures to use. Aside from more charging stations throughout the world with the help of Tom Tormey, at the

the end of October, there will be a new completely redesigned and reengineered software that will wirelessly update on every ChargePoint station in the world. This will make the charging process easier and faster for ChargePoint users. Also, the ChargePoint website will be redesigned as well. For my last interview with Tom, I met with him at the ChargePoint headquarters. I walked up to the main door, and was led to his office. Tom and I talked, and then for my last question, I asked him: “Tom, you do a lot with ChargePoint. How will ChargePoint continue to grow in the future with your help?” “My team has been and continues to be responsible for defining the entire product and business roadmap for ChargePoint. So far we have been pretty successful, lets hope we continue!” Tom Tormey.

Level 1: Level 1 charging works like any standard three-pronged household outlet, meaning you can plug your EV into the outlet in your garage and charge its battery. Virtually every EV on the market supports this type of charging. The bad part: it’s painstakingly slow. For example, a Nissan Leaf using a standard 120-volt charger will take roughly 18 to 20 hours. Level 2: Level 2 charging is much faster and uses special equipment specific to EVs. This is the type of charging you will want to use most often.
