ChargePoint is installing EV chargers at multiple Midwestern Wheels outlets, a licensee of Avis Budget Group, providing public charging access at airport and local-market rental locations in Appleton and Madison, Wisconsin.

New Wisconsin Charging Locations

The new deployments include a mix of ChargePoint AC and DC stations intended to support both rental EV customers and local drivers in the surrounding communities. ChargePoint said the chargers are available to the public and can be located through the ChargePoint mobile app.

“By opening their chargers up to the public, Midwestern Wheels has maximized utilization and accelerated their return on investment while increasing their brand awareness in the local community,” said Rick Wilmer, CEO at ChargePoint, in a Jan. 21 news release.

Charging Features And Operations

ChargePoint said multiple stations include its Omni Port system, which supports different EV connector types without dedicating parking stalls to specific plug standards.

All stations are managed through the ChargePoint Platform, which provides performance monitoring and real-time operational insights.

“As EV adoption continues, we have created a unique win-win experience by offering EV charging to the public and our rental car customers in addition to our internal fleet charging needs,” said Bill Wallschlaeger, president of Midwestern Wheels.
