Bluepoppy weighs what ChargePoint's new European chief means for fleets

← The Journal

A senior hire at the charging giant becomes the occasion for Bluepoppy to consider where EV infrastructure is heading next.

Bluepoppy Vehicle Solutions has been tracking ChargePoint's appointment of John Saffrett — previously of Ayvens, where he helped steer the ALD-LeasePlan merger — as Executive Vice President and Managing Director for Europe.

In its latest insight, Bluepoppy reads the move as confirmation that charging infrastructure has become a fleet-management concern in its own right, rather than an afterthought to it. With more than 1.4 million charging ports already under ChargePoint's banner, the firm suggests the appointment marks a maturing market that UK fleets would do well to watch closely.
