Campbell, Calif. – Pasquale Romano, CEO of ChargePoint, the world's largest electric vehicle (EV) charging network, joined California Governor Jerry Brown at today's signing of Senate Bill 350. This landmark legislation is committed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through new and expanded policies promoting renewable energy, energy efficiency and the electrification of transportation.

The passage and signing of SB 350 prove once again that California is the nation's leader in the fight against climate change, and ChargePoint is proud to have been among those championing this important issue.
"From utilities to automakers, private corporations to government entities, we all have a role to play in lowering our state's greenhouse gas emissions.

"SB 350 is a giant step forward for California and the entire country must follow our lead. As a proud California-born company and an industry leader, ChargePoint looks forward to continuing to work with our elected officials, the California Public Utilities Commission and with stakeholders across the state to implement this ambitious and important state policy"
