| Pay vs Performance Disclosure [Table] | |||
| Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] | Pay Versus Performance Disclosure Pursuant to the Exchange Act, we are required to disclose in this proxy statement certain information comparing the total compensation of our Chief Executive Officer (our “CEO”) and the average total compensation of our other named executive officers (whom we also refer to below as our “NEOs”), in each case both as reported in the Summary Compensation Table presented in this proxy statement and as “compensation actually paid” to such named executive officers as determined pursuant to applicable SEC rules, to the Company’s performance as presented in the table below. Fiscal Summary Compensation (1) Average (2) Average (1)(2) Value of Initial Net Income Revenue ChargePoint Peer (3) 2023 $ 16,755,533 $ 12,734,139 $ 7,444,668 $ 6,379,049 $ 121 $ 118 $ (345.1 ) $ 468.1 2022 $ 58,679,085 $ (43,687,041 ) $ 6,277,153 $ (842,989 ) $ 139 $ 149 $ (132.2 ) $ 241.0 2021 $ 859,167 $ 118,772,104 $ 598,305 $ 16,150,311 $ 381 $ 132 $ (197.0 ) $ 146.5 (1) SEC rules require certain adjustments be made to the Summary Compensation Table totals to determine “compensation actually paid” as reported in the Pay versus Performance table. “Compensation Actually Paid” does not necessarily represent cash and/or equity value transferred to the applicable NEO without restriction, but rather is a value calculated under applicable SEC rules. In general, “compensation actually paid” is calculated as Summary Compensation Table total compensation adjusted to include the fair market value of equity awards as of the last day of the applicable fiscal year or, if earlier, the vesting date (rather than the grant date). Our NEOs do not participate in a defined benefit plan so no adjustment for pension benefits is included in the table below. The following table details these adjustments to compensation as reported in the Summary Compensation Table: CEO 2021 2022 2023 Summary Compensation Table Total $859,167 $58,679,085 $16,755,533 Less: Grant Date Fair Value of Equity Awards +$0 $(43,823,305) $(15,748,310) Plus: Year End Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted in the Year* +$52,485,939 +$0 +$14,905,745 Plus/Minus: Fair Value as of Vesting Date of Equity Awards Granted and Vested in the Year* +$0 +$0 +$0 Change in Fair Value of Unvested Equity Awards Granted in Prior Years* +$59,540,855 $(49,918,633) $(3,210,594) Change in Fair Value of Equity Awards From Prior Years that Vested in the Covered Year* +$5,886,144 $(8,624,187) +$31,767 = Compensation Actually Paid $118,772,104 $(43,687,041) $12,734,139 Average of Other NEOs 2021 2022 2023 Summary Compensation Table Total $598,305 $6,277,153 $7,444,668 Less: Grant Date Fair Value of Equity Awards +$0 $(4,095,000) $(6,835,537) Plus: Year End Fair Value of Equity Awards Granted in the Year* +$0 +$1,350,375 +$5,517,011 Average of Other NEOs 2021 2022 2023 Plus: Fair Value as of Vesting Date of Equity Awards Granted and Vested in the Year* +$0 +$980,063 +$257,989 Change in Fair Value of Unvested Equity Awards Granted in Prior Years* +$13,741,281 $(2,594,101) $(128,026) Change in Fair Value of Equity Awards From Prior Years that Vested in the Covered Year* +$1,810,725 $(2,761,479) +$122,944 = Compensation Actually Paid $16,150,311 $(842,989) $6,379,049 * All performance-based PRSU award valuations included in Compensation Actually Paid values were performed using the Monte Carlo probability model in a manner consistent with the process used to determine their grant date fair values, and all stock option valuations included in Compensation Actually Paid values were performed using the Black-Scholes option pricing model in a manner consistent with the process used to determine stock option grant date fair values (refer to our annual report for additional detail).
