Answer Capsule

ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) recorded 0.0% valid recommendation coverage in the October 2026 LLM Authority Index benchmark for EV Charging Networks, down from 28.3% in July 2026.

Report Card

Executive Summary

ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) holds 0.0% valid recommendation coverage in the October 2026 LLM Authority Index benchmark for EV Charging Networks. This represents a decline of 28.3 percentage points from the July 2026 baseline, when the brand led the category at 28.3% coverage. The benchmark data shows the brand also recorded 0.0% presence rate, 0.0% top-three rate, and 0.0% rank-one rate in October 2026.

The October 2026 benchmark tracked the entity name "ChargePoint" rather than "ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings)," and the shorter name also registered 0.0% across all metrics. No brand in the October data records presence or recommendation credit under any of the four name variants tracked across the measurement series. The benchmark documentation states that a 0.0% row in this context reflects a tracking-structure change rather than a measured collapse in AI recommendation behavior.

The brand's July 2026 performance demonstrated strong recommendation-stage visibility, with 28.3% valid recommendation coverage, 71.1% presence rate, and 24.7% top-three rate. September 2026 data showed the brand at 30.5% coverage, indicating sustained category leadership through the prior measurement period. The October 2026 result of 0.0% represents the largest single-month coverage decline recorded in the benchmark's historical measurement record.

The strongest cluster in the October 2026 benchmark is C01, Best Home EV Chargers Discovery and Evaluation, which captured all 509 qualified observations. The C02 and C03 clusters, covering Home EV Charger Comparisons and Home EV Charger Pricing, Cost and Installation, recorded no qualified observations in the current public series. This means the benchmark can describe how AI systems recommend EV charging networks when asked generally, but cannot yet measure performance in comparison or pricing-specific prompt contexts.

The clearest platform gap is across all six tracked platforms. ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) recorded zero mentions, zero valid recommendations, and zero rank credit on ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews, and AI Mode in October 2026. The brand's July 2026 performance showed presence across multiple platforms, indicating that the October result is not a platform-specific issue but a category-wide attribution gap.

The benchmark's top cited domains include chargepoint.com at rank 7 with 99 citations, representing 1.4% of all citations observed. This indicates that ChargePoint's owned domain remains part of the public evidence layer that AI systems retrieve and synthesize from, even when the brand entity itself is not receiving recommendation credit in the October measurement.

Where ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) Has the Clearest AI Visibility Gaps

Questions This Section Answers

• Is the October 2026 zero-recommendation result a platform problem or a category-wide attribution gap?
• How does ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) compare with EVgo and Electrify America in the October 2026 recommendation field?

The clearest gap for ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) is the complete absence of recommendation-stage visibility in the October 2026 benchmark. The brand recorded 0.0% valid recommendation coverage, 0.0% presence rate, 0.0% top-three rate, and 0.0% rank-one rate across all 509 qualified observations.

This gap is category-wide rather than platform-specific. The brand recorded zero mentions on ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity, AI Overviews, and AI Mode in October 2026. The benchmark data shows no platform where ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) received any recommendation credit or presence credit during the measurement period.

The gap is also cluster-specific. All 509 qualified observations in October 2026 fell into the C01 cluster, Best Home EV Chargers Discovery and Evaluation. The brand recorded zero presence and zero recommendations in this cluster. The C02 and C03 clusters, covering comparisons and pricing, recorded no qualified observations in the current public series, so the benchmark cannot yet measure performance in those contexts.

The benchmark documentation attributes the 0.0% result to a tracking-structure change rather than a competitive decline. The October 2026 run tracked "ChargePoint" and "Tesla Supercharger" as entity names, while July and September 2026 tracked "ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings)" and "Tesla Wall Connector (Tesla, Inc.)." The longer-form names show 0.0% in October, and the shorter-form names also show 0.0%, indicating that no entity name variant received recommendation credit during the measurement period.

The brand's July 2026 performance provides context for the gap. In July 2026, ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) recorded 28.3% valid recommendation coverage, 71.1% presence rate, 24.7% top-three rate, and 13.2% rank-one rate. The October 2026 result of 0.0% across all metrics represents a complete loss of recommendation-stage visibility relative to the July baseline.

The strongest competitor in October 2026, EVgo, recorded 9.8% valid recommendation coverage, 60.3% presence rate, 7.1% top-three rate, and 1.0% rank-one rate. Electrify America followed at 7.3% coverage, 62.3% presence rate, 5.1% top-three rate, and 0.2% rank-one rate. Both competitors maintained recommendation-stage visibility while ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) recorded zero.

Biggest Opportunity

Questions This Section Answers

• Why is entity naming the central fix for ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) despite its domain still being cited?
• What prompt cluster captures the home EV charger discovery opportunity the brand is missing?

The biggest opportunity for ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) is to establish consistent entity naming across the public evidence layer so AI systems can attribute recommendation credit to the correct brand entity. The October 2026 benchmark data shows that no entity name variant for ChargePoint received recommendation credit, even though the brand's owned domain remains among the top cited sources.

The benchmark's C01 cluster, Best Home EV Chargers Discovery and Evaluation, captured all 509 qualified observations in October 2026. This cluster includes prompts such as "What is the best charging station for home use?" and "What is the best EV car charger to buy?" The brand recorded zero presence and zero recommendations in this cluster, despite its July 2026 leadership position.

The opportunity is to ensure that the brand's public evidence layer, including owned pages, product documentation, and third-party sources, uses consistent entity naming that AI systems can retrieve and attribute. The benchmark's citation data shows that chargepoint.com received 99 citations across AI platform responses, indicating that the domain is search-visible and retrievable. The gap is in recommendation attribution rather than source availability.

The benchmark's methodology documentation states that source presence is evidence about the information environment, not proof that the source caused the recommendation. The opportunity is to strengthen the connection between the brand's public evidence layer and the entity names that AI systems use when forming recommendations.

Why This Matters

AI presence alone is not enough. The October 2026 benchmark data shows that ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) recorded zero recommendation credit even though the brand's owned domain remains among the top cited sources in the category. The gap is in recommendation attribution rather than source availability.

The next move is targeted correction of the entity naming, page structure, and citation layers that AI systems use when forming recommendations. The benchmark's historical data shows that the brand held category leadership as recently as September 2026, indicating that the underlying product and market position remain strong. The opportunity is to ensure that AI systems can attribute recommendation credit to the correct brand entity when buyers ask high-intent questions about home EV chargers.

Core Metrics

Sentiment Score

Sentiment Score = (positive mentions × 1 + neutral mentions × 0 + negative mentions × -1) / total mentions

For ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) in October 2026, the sentiment score is 0.0, calculated from zero positive mentions, zero neutral mentions, and zero negative mentions across zero total mentions.

This matters because unclassified mention counts are misleading. A brand with zero mentions has no sentiment signal, which is different from a brand with neutral or mixed sentiment. Share of voice is a diagnostic metric, not a business KPI. A positive recommendation, neutral reference, cautionary mention, and competitor-displaced mention are not equal. Counting all mentions as wins is bad measurement. Classified sentiment is required before interpreting AI visibility.

The October 2026 data shows that ChargePoint Home (ChargePoint Holdings) recorded zero mentions across all platforms and clusters. This means the brand has no sentiment signal in the current measurement period, which is consistent with the tracking-structure change documented in the benchmark.
