Blink Charging IQ 200 Receives CTEP Certification Allowing the 80 Amp Commercial Chargers to be Widely Deployed in Leading EV Market
14 Dezembro 2021 - 11:15AM
Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq: BLNK, BLNKW) (“Blink” or the
“Company”), a leading owner, operator, and provider of electric
vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, today announced it
has received a certificate of approval for its IQ 200 chargers
under the Division of Measurement Standards: California Type
Evaluation Program (CTEP). Blink’s IQ 200 units are one of the
fastest level 2 AC charging stations available on the market, with
a maximum output of 80 amps.
The standards for certification mirror those on
gas pumps, to ensure every kilowatt-hour is accurately displayed on
the station, accounted for in the billing process, and accurately
represented in the cost to the consumer.
“The CTEP certification is designed to ensure
accuracy and transparency and Blink is pleased that our IQ 200 line
of chargers has met the stringent standards of CTEP and been
approved for certification,” commented Brendan S. Jones, President
of Blink Charging. California leads the nation in the early
adoption of EVs and in the establishment of initiatives and
legislation to promote the development of far-reaching, reliable,
and accessible electric car charging infrastructure. Mr. Jones
emphasized that “as a leading owner and operator of EV charging
infrastructure, Blink recognized that California represents a
tremendous growth opportunity and that Blink is well positioned to
deploy our chargers throughout the state to support rising demand
as more drivers transition to EVs.”
Analysis conducted earlier this year by the
California Energy Commission (CEC) shows the state will need nearly
1.2 million public and shared chargers by 2030 to meet the fueling
demands of the 7.5 million passenger plug-in electric vehicles
(EVs) anticipated to be on California roads and an additional
157,000 chargers to support medium- and heavy-duty electric trucks
and buses.
Before any new type of weighing or measuring
device can be sold or used for commercial purposes in California,
it must be evaluated and approved by the Department of Food and
Agriculture, Division of Measurement Standards (DMS). DMS'
California Type Evaluation Program (CTEP) evaluates a device, and
the purpose of type evaluation is to certify that the design and
performance of a new commercial weighing or measuring device model
is suitable for its intended use, is accurate, operates correctly,
has all required markings, and prevents the facilitation of fraud.
Upon successful CTEP evaluation, DMS issues a Certificate of
Approval (COA) that allows the device to be used for commercial
purposes. Blink’s IQ 200 charger successfully passed all such CTEP
evaluations and proudly carries the Certificate of Approval.
