| Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
| Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended January 31, 2026 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 2, 2026, which provides a more complete discussion of the Company’s accounting policies and certain other information. The information as of January 31, 2026, included on the condensed consolidated balance sheets was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the Company’s financial position as of April 30, 2026, the results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025, and cash flows for the three months ended April 30, 2026 and 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2026, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending January 31, 2027. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, the realization of assets, and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. Since inception, the Company has been engaged in developing and marketing its Networked Charging Systems, subscriptions and other offerings, raising capital, and recruiting personnel, and it has incurred net operating losses and negative cash flows from operations in every year since inception and expects this to continue for the foreseeable future.

| Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events. These estimates and the underlying assumptions affect the amounts of assets and liabilities reported, disclosures about contingent assets and liabilities, and reported amounts of revenue and expenses. Actual results and outcomes could differ significantly from the Company’s estimates, judgments and assumptions. Significant estimates include determining standalone selling price for performance obligations in contracts with customers, the estimated expected benefit period for deferred contract acquisition costs, allowances for expected credit losses, inventory reserves, the useful lives of long-lived assets, the determination of the incremental borrowing rate used for operating lease liabilities, valuation of acquired goodwill and intangible assets, the fair value of equity instruments and assumptions used to measure stock-based compensation, and the valuation of deferred income tax assets and uncertain tax positions. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best estimates and judgment. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. The Company adjusts such estimates and assumptions when facts and circumstances dictate. Changes in those estimates resulting from continuing changes in the economic environment will be reflected in the financial statements in future periods. As future events and their effects cannot be determined with precision, actual results could materially differ from those estimates and assumptions.

| Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties | Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, and accounts receivable. Cash and cash equivalents are held in domestic and foreign cash accounts across large, creditworthy financial institutions. The Company has not experienced any losses on its deposits of cash and cash equivalents through deposits with federally insured commercial banks and at times cash balances may be in excess of federal insurance limits. Accounts receivable are stated at the amount the Company expects to collect. The Company generally does not require collateral or other security in support of accounts receivable. To reduce credit risk, management performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition.

| Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Operating segments are defined as components of an entity where discrete financial information is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company operates as one operating segment. Accordingly, its CODM, who is its Chief Executive Officer, uses consolidated net income or loss to measure segment profit or loss for purposes of making decisions regarding allocating resources and assessing Company performance. In addition, the CODM reviews the significant expenses, categorized as cost of sales and each major operating expense category (i.e., research and development, sales and marketing, and general and administrative) using consolidated amounts presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company has no segment managers who are held accountable by the CODM for operations, operating results, and planning for levels of components below the consolidated unit level.

| Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash | Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may be invested in money market funds. Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost, which approximates their fair value. Restricted cash relates to cash deposits restricted under letters of credit issued in support of customer and contract manufacturer agreements.

| Fair Value of Financial Instruments | Fair Value of Financial Instruments Fair value is defined as an exchange price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are classified into the following categories based on the inputs used to measure fair value: •(Level 1) — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date; •(Level 2) — Inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and •(Level 3) — Inputs that are unobservable for the asset or liability. The Company classifies financial instruments in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy when there is reliance on at least one significant unobservable input to the valuation model. In addition to these unobservable inputs, the valuation models for Level 3 financial instruments typically also rely on a number of inputs that are readily observable, either directly or indirectly. The Company’s assessment of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires management to make judgments and consider factors specific to the asset or liability. The fair value hierarchy requires the use of observable market data when available in determining fair value. The Company recognizes transfers between levels within the fair value hierarchy, if any, at the end of each period. There were no transfers between levels during the periods presented. The Company had no material non-financial assets valued on a non-recurring basis that resulted in an impairment in any period presented. The carrying values of the Company’s cash equivalents, accounts receivable, net, accounts payable, and accrued and other current liabilities approximate fair value based on the highly liquid, short-term nature of these instruments. Certain assets, including goodwill and other intangible assets, which are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only if an impairment charge is recognized. The categorization of the framework used to measure fair value of the assets is considered to be within the Level 3 valuation hierarchy due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used.

| Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition ChargePoint accounts for revenue in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The Company’s contracts with customers typically include multiple performance obligations - Networked Charging Systems hardware, software subscriptions, extended maintenance, and professional services. For further details on the Company's revenue recognition policies, including the Company's significant judgments in identifying performance obligations and estimating standalone selling prices, refer to Note 2 in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026. Networked Charging Systems revenue Networked Charging Systems revenue includes revenue related to the deliveries of EV charging system infrastructure and fees received for transferring regulatory credits earned for participating in low carbon fuel programs in jurisdictions with such programs. The Company recognizes revenue from sales of Networked Charging Systems upon shipment to customers, including distributors, resellers or direct sales customers, as these customers obtain title and control over these products. Revenue is adjusted for estimated returns. Revenue from regulatory credits is recognized at the point in time the regulatory credits are transferred. Subscriptions revenue Subscriptions revenue consists of services related to the ChargePoint Platform, as well as extended maintenance service plans under Assure. Subscriptions revenue is recognized over time on a straight-line basis as the Company has a stand-ready obligation to deliver such services to the customer. Subscriptions revenue also consists of ChargePoint as a Service (“CPaaS”) revenue, which combines the customer’s use of the Company’s owned and operated Networked Charging Systems with the ChargePoint Platform and Assure programs into a single subscription. CPaaS subscriptions are considered for accounting purposes to contain a lease for the customer’s use of the Company’s owned and operated systems unless the location allows the Company to receive incremental economic benefit from regulatory credits earned on that owned and operated system. The leasing arrangements the Company enters into with lessees are operating leases. The Company recognizes operating lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term and expenses deferred initial direct costs on the same basis. Lessor revenue relates to operating leases and historically has not been material. Other revenue Other revenue consists of charging related fees received from drivers using charging sites owned and operated by the Company, net transaction fees earned for processing payments collected on driver charging sessions at charging sites owned by ChargePoint customers, and other professional services. Revenue from fees for owned and operated sites is recognized over time on a straight-line basis over the performance period of the service contract as the Company has a stand-ready obligation to deliver such services. Revenue from driver charging sessions and charging transaction fees is recognized at the point in time the charging session or transaction is completed. Revenue from professional services is recognized as the services are rendered.

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Accounting Standards In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2024-04, “Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments”, which clarifies the requirements for determining whether certain settlements of convertible debt instruments should be accounted for as an induced conversion. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company adopted ASU 2024-04 as of February 1, 2026, on a prospective basis, and it did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This amendment introduces a practical expedient for the application of the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to current accounts receivable and contract assets. The amendment is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods on a prospective basis, with early adoption permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 as of February 1, 2026 and elected to utilize the practical expedient. The adoption of ASU 2025-05 and the election of the practical expedient did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses,” (“ASU 2024-03”), which requires disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented on the face of the income statement, as well as disclosures about selling expenses. The guidance is effective for public business entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. The requirements will be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. Early adoption is permitted.

Under the updated guidance, capitalization begins when (1) management authorizes and commits to funding the project and (2) it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used for its intended purpose. The ASU also provides enhanced guidance on evaluating the “probable-to-complete” threshold and consolidates website development cost guidance into Subtopic 350-40. This ASU will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied prospectively, retrospectively, or using a modified basis for in-process projects The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this amendment on the condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
