Electric vehicle (EV) charging network company ChargePoint Holdings recorded revenue of $86 million in the first quarter (Q1) of 2022, a year-over-year (YoY) growth of 102% from $40.5 million in Q1 2021.

The U.S.-based company accumulated revenue of $59.6 million from its network charging systems business, a YoY increase of 122% from $26.8 million last year.

ChargePoint provides a comprehensive portfolio of charging solutions for businesses.

The company said that its business registered a record growth of 67% in Europe, which resulted in a sequential quarterly revenue surge.

ChargePoint has more than 188,000 operational ports under management at the end of Q1, including approximately 57,000 ports in Europe.

Supply chain disruptions impacted both cost and availability of supply, leading to a lower gross margin of 15%, compared to 23% in the same period last year.
