Before you buy
No hub. ChargePoint has you activate the charger by connecting it to your home Wi-Fi, and the app reaches it through ChargePoint's own service, so there is nothing to buy in between. The account is the real requirement rather than any hardware: ChargePoint describes its app as 'the only app that can control your home and public charging in one place', which tells you the design intent — this charger is a node on ChargePoint's network first and a device in your house second. That framing is also why its integrations behave the way they do. When you ask Alexa about it, you are asking ChargePoint's service about your account, not asking a device in your home about itself.[1][21]
Follow the recorded connection below. Equipment details and setup limits explain what else this path needs.

Keep in mindCheck the function table for supported controls and routines. A connection diagram does not establish every function or remote access.
This shows the connection route, not every network cable or a shopping list. One device may provide several roles, including a Matter controller and a Thread border router. Only a Thread connection needs the Thread role. Read the equipment cards for all recorded requirements.
These paths summarize documented setup options. Check the function table for the connection covered by each recorded capability.
Real but narrower than the word 'Apple' suggests, and that distinction is the whole point here. ChargePoint's own Home Flex settings page says 'iPhone users can add the Siri shortcut in the ChargePoint app to make charging a breeze everywhere they go.' That is a Siri Shortcut — a voice trigger you add inside ChargePoint's own app — and it is NOT Apple Home. This charger does not appear in the Home app, cannot be put in a Home scene or automation, and cannot be shared with your household through Home sharing. If you want to say something to your iPhone and have charging start, that works. If you want the charger to be part of your Apple smart home, it is not, and no route exists to make it one: Apple Home controls no energy device of any kind in the first place. Apple's EnergyKit, added in iOS 26, is a forecast-only data feed for other apps rather than a way to control anything, and we never conflate the two. We call this partial because a documented first-party Siri path genuinely exists; it is emphatically not a HomeKit integration.[2][5][21]
The equipment list for this platform is not fully specified here. Use the documented setup above; an empty list does not mean no equipment is needed.
The record does not support a connection to this platform. Read the explanation below.
A stated 'no', in ChargePoint's own words, and that makes this one of the strongest negative cells in this catalogue: 'We currently do not have a Google Home integration for ChargePoint Home. However, this is a frequently requested feature from drivers and we’re incorporating into our product roadmap.' Vendors almost never write that sentence — the industry norm is to omit the platform entirely and let a buyer guess whether it was forgotten or excluded. ChargePoint answered the question, on the same page where it documents Alexa and Siri, which is why this cell can read 'none' rather than 'unknown'. Note the company's own hedge — 'currently', an acknowledgement of demand and a mention of its product roadmap — so this is a position rather than a permanent refusal, and it is one of the things this record's recheck watches for. We could not confirm a Matter certificate for ChargePoint. Worth adding that Google Home has no EV-charger device type at all, so even if ChargePoint built something tomorrow, the charger would arrive as a generic device rather than as a charger.[2][5][21]

The most capable Alexa integration of any charger in this subcategory, and still recorded partial — for a reason worth understanding rather than a grudging one. ChargePoint documents a genuine command set: start charging, stop charging, whether your car is plugged in, charging status, how many miles were added, what you spent on charging, and your account balance. That is far beyond the on/off ceiling the neighbouring Emporia record documents. But look at the form every single one of those commands takes in ChargePoint's own setup guide: they all begin 'Alexa, ask ChargePoint…'. That is the question-and-answer skill pattern, not the direct-control pattern ('Alexa, turn on the charger') used by devices Alexa controls natively — and ChargePoint documents no device-style command anywhere. The practical consequence for a smart home is specific: you can hold a conversation with ChargePoint through your Echo, but the charger is not presenting itself to Alexa as a device, so this catalogue does not represent it as one. Setup is account-linking: you enable the ChargePoint skill in the Alexa app and 'enter your ChargePoint account details and log in'. It runs entirely through ChargePoint's cloud, so it stops when your internet does. Two of the documented commands — spend and account balance — are about ChargePoint's public network as much as your driveway, which is a reminder of what this product actually is.[2][3][21][24]

There is not enough model-specific evidence to draw a supported connection. Read the evidence and limits below.
Unknown. ChargePoint enumerates its integrations on the Home Flex settings page — Alexa, a Siri shortcut, and an explicit statement about Google Home — and SmartThings appears in none of it; no Samsung-side documentation naming this charger was located either. Recorded unknown rather than none, and the contrast with the Google cell on this same record is exactly why: for Google, ChargePoint wrote a sentence saying it does not have an integration, and that earns a 'none'. For SmartThings it wrote nothing at all, and an omission is silence rather than a denial. Same page, same vendor, two different kinds of evidence, kept distinct. This is also the cell where a Matter certificate would count the most, because SmartThings is the one major platform that lists EVSE among its supported Matter device types — the single place a certified charger could appear as a charger rather than as a switch.[2][5][22]
There is not enough model-specific evidence to draw a supported connection. Read the evidence and limits below.
Unknown, and specific rather than lazy. Neither side documents this pairing: ChargePoint names Home Assistant nowhere across its marketing page, settings page or Alexa guide, and Home Assistant publishes no official integration — there is simply no page for one, and we confirmed we were looking in the right place by checking two other charger brands whose pages do exist. Community add-ons distributed outside Home Assistant's official set are invisible to that check and outside what we can verify, so what is recorded here is the absence of any committed support, not a claim that nothing works. What can be said is that no documented local path exists on this product at all, so anything community-built would have to work through ChargePoint's servers. The comparison worth drawing is with the Wallbox charger in this same category, where an official integration exists and delivers charge-current control and solar modes — that is what supported looks like, and this product does not have it.[2][8][18][22][29]

It is a statement about the available evidence, never a verdict on the product. A Setup Check researches your exact setup where the official sources don’t answer.
✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.
Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.
No subscription, plan or fee for home charging appears on any ChargePoint surface read. Recorded as 'none' on that basis, with coreFunctionWithoutPlan deliberately 'unknown' rather than 'full' — this is an absence of any mention of paid tiers, not a vendor statement that everything is included. What IS established is that an account is mandatory: the app is the control surface by ChargePoint's own description, and the Alexa skill's setup requires you to 'enter your ChargePoint account details and log in'. One genuine complication a buyer should understand, because it is unusual in this catalogue: the same account also runs ChargePoint's PUBLIC charging network, where money definitely changes hands — Alexa can be asked 'How much I spent on charging last month' and 'To check my account balance'. So the account has a billing relationship attached to it even though nothing about the home charger itself is stated to cost anything. This record keeps those two things apart rather than letting public-network charges imply a home-charging fee.
Start with what you cannot find out before buying: the price. ChargePoint publishes full specifications for all three Home Flex variants and no figure against any of them, and both of the sites where you would buy one turn us away, so there is no manufacturer price on this page. That is a channel decision, not an oversight on our side, and it means comparison-shopping this charger takes an extra step. Second, the variants are not equivalent and the naming does not tell you so. Hardwired works with 20–80A circuits and delivers up to 50A; both plug versions work with 40 or 50A circuits and deliver up to 40A. The easy installation costs you a fifth of the charging speed, and only the hardwired model reaches the number on the box. Third, the federal credit is gone — 30C applied to property placed in service through 2026-06-30 per the IRS's own page — so most published advice about what a charger really costs is now wrong. Fourth, and this is the part worth reading carefully, the smart-home story is three different answers on one page and they are easy to blur together. Alexa is genuinely well supported, with start, stop, plugged-in status, miles added, spend and account balance all documented — but every command ChargePoint publishes takes the form 'Alexa, ask ChargePoint…', which is the ask-a-skill pattern rather than the switch-it-on pattern, and no direct device command is documented anywhere. Apple gets a Siri shortcut added inside ChargePoint's app, which is voice control and is NOT HomeKit — this charger does not appear in the Home app at all. And Google gets an outright no, in ChargePoint's own words: 'We currently do not have a Google Home integration for ChargePoint Home.' Credit for writing that down; almost nobody does. Fifth, we could not confirm a Matter certificate for ChargePoint, so no standards route around any of the above is known, and there is no official Home Assistant integration either. Sixth, the account has a billing relationship attached, because it is the same account that pays for ChargePoint's public network; nothing about home charging is stated to cost anything, but do not read 'no subscription' as 'no money involved'. Finally, two things verified rather than taken on trust: the ENERGY STAR claim is real, and it is tied to this product rather than a stablemate because the EPA certificate's own variant list names CPH50-HARDWIRE-L23, CPH50-NEMA14-50-L23 and CPH50-NEMA6-50-L23 — the exact three models sold. And a direct check of the federal recall database found no recalls for this manufacturer, on a database we confirmed was answering properly at the time.
The right charger for a household that already lives on ChargePoint's public network, because the same account and the same app cover both — that is ChargePoint's own pitch, 'the only app that can control your home and public charging in one place', and it is a real advantage if you charge away from home often. It suits an Alexa household better than any other charger in this subcategory: the documented command set covers starting, stopping, status, miles added and spend, where competitors manage on and off. It suits someone who wants iPhone voice control through a Siri shortcut and understands that is not the same as the Home app. And it suits a buyer who can hardwire, since that is the only way to get the full 50 amps. It is the wrong charger for a Google Home household — ChargePoint says so itself, which is more than most vendors will do, and we could not confirm a Matter certificate that would work around it. It is the wrong charger for anyone who wants it in Apple Home, since a Siri shortcut is app-level voice and not a HomeKit device. Think twice if you run Home Assistant: no core integration exists and no local path is documented, and the Wallbox charger in this same subcategory has an official integration with real control. And think twice if you want to know the price before you commit to researching further, because ChargePoint does not publish one where a shopper can see it.
