Former General Motors Co. Chairman and CEO Rick Wagoner has joined the board of directors of Campbell, Calif.-based ChargePoint Inc., which claims to have the largest electric vehicle charging network in the world with nearly 34,000 stations.

Wagoner is the ninth member of ChargePoint’s board. Axel Harries, who heads Daimler AG’s new CASE connected and autonomous car unit, was appointed to ChargePoint’s board last month.

Wagoner also is a director for Invest, Aleris and Graham Holdings (formerly the Washington Post Co.). He previously held board positions with Dematic Holdings and Rivian Automotive.

Wagoner was forced out of GM by the Obama administration in 2009 before the carmaker filed for bankruptcy.
