Blink Charging Surpasses 100,000 Charger Milestone
Blink’s charging solutions have empowered drivers, hosts, and fleets to transition smoothly to electric transportation, contributing to EV charging infrastructure worldwide.
Bowie, Md., Sept. 27, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK) (“Blink” or the “Company”), a leading global manufacturer, owner, operator and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, today announced it has surpassed 100,000 chargers sold, deployed, or contracted globally.
“We’re proud to reach this significant accomplishment through dedicated pursuit of our mission to advance the energy transition through Blink’s innovative charging solutions,” said Brendan Jones, Blink’s President and CEO. “By prioritizing, listening to, and understanding our customers’ needs and expectations, we have learned to strategically tailor charger placement and installation, so that the right charger is in the right place at the right time for every EV driver.”
Jones added that Blink’s 100,000 charger benchmark accomplishment is largely due to several factors, including the Company’s turnkey model, which enables streamlined project management from start to installation with Blink experts. Blink has also placed a strong emphasis on ensuring charger uptime by offering optional preventative maintenance care programs, such as Blink Care.
Blink is offered as a vetted EV charging products and services provider through several cooperative contracts, streamlining access for state and local government agencies, as well as education institutions, to develop and grow their EV charging infrastructure. Earlier this year, Blink announced the Company achieved “In Process” FedRamp® status to provide cloud-based EV charging solutions across the U.S. government.
“This landmark is truly a collaborative effort shared among every member of the Blink team, each of our customers, and the demand from the EV community, all of whom share Blink’s vision to enable independence for all through the global electrification of transportation,” said Mike Battaglia, Chief Operating Officer and CEO-Elect at Blink. Battaglia, who is slated to take up the mantle of CEO upon Brendan Jones’s retirement in January 2025, added, “We’re inspired by the rapid advancement of EV adoption and are motivated to provide the growing EV driver base with another 100,000 fast, reliable, Blink chargers.”
