Blink’s newly launched products are included
below.
MQ 200
Electrifying the full fleet ecosystem, such as
those in trucking, delivery, taxi, rental, public utility, and
commercial industries, is a key step in accelerating an electric
vehicle future. Driving Blink further into fleet services, the
Company is releasing the MQ 200, a 50-amp scalable charging station
that meets the unique needs of fleets and locations requiring
multiple fast chargers.
Designed especially for fleets, workplace, and
multifamily locations, the MQ 200 makes deploying numerous chargers
at a single location convenient, cost-effective, and scalable. It
features an advanced, integrated Plug & Charge functionality
which allows any electric vehicle or fleet EV with this capability
to start a charge instantly after plugging in.
The MQ 200 communicates with the Blink Network
and the Blink Fleet Portal, launched today, via LTE or Wi-Fi
connections. The chargers can be deployed using local load
management which allows for installation of 2 to 20 Blink chargers
on a single circuit, perfect for reliable overnight charging of
fleet vehicles in a queue, while the unit’s smart grid
functionality allows communication directly with local utilities.
The MQ 200 also comes with multiple cable management options which
can be paired with all charger deployment methods, whether wall,
pole, or pedestal.
HQ 200
With more than 80 percent of EV drivers expected
to charge at home, Blink’s HQ 200 is bringing the next generation
of home charging to the market. The product comes in two models:
the HQ 200 Smart, which provides drivers remote control and
intelligence via Wi-Fi, and the HQ 200 Basic, for those consumers
looking for a more streamlined solution.
The HQ 200 features 50 amps of output and makes
at-home charging easier, faster, and more seamless than ever
before. The HQ 200 Smart is equipped with vehicle-to-grid and
load-sharing technology, which allows multiple EVs to charge at
home on a single, shared circuit - perfect for a household with
multiple EVs. The HQ 200 Smart charger is smart-home ready and
connects to the new Blink Mobile App via 5Ghz Wi-Fi.
Vision-IQ 200
The Vision product line by Blink pairs the
company’s industry-leading Level 2 charging equipment with an
impressive dynamic digital media display, offering a full-service
advertising capability with an integrated charging station ideal
for retail, hospitality, and high-traffic locations.
The Vision-IQ 200 is equipped with one or two
80-amp chargers and offers two 30-inch screens capable of
displaying both static and dynamic advertising, while the Blink IQ
200 charging station is compatible with all-electric vehicles. The
product is designed to advertise products and services, and
property hosts will be offered revenue share opportunities for both
charging and advertising income. The Vision-IQ 200 communicates
with the Blink Network via LTE or Wi-Fi connections. It can also be
deployed using local load management and features smart grid
functionality.
DC Fast Wall 50 kW
Blink’s DC Fast Wall 50 kW is a compact,
high-performance, and easy-to-install charger with up to 150 amps
of output. Packing the power of DC fast charging into a smaller,
sleeker wall-mounted charger, the DC Fast Wall 50 kW is the size of
a flatscreen TV - a fraction of the size of typical DC fast
chargers - and features a new vehicle-to-grid technology capable of
dynamically balancing energy demand with supply. It comes as both a
wall-mountable or pedestal solution and can charge two cars
simultaneously making it ideal for fleet, retail, streetside
charging, and all high-traffic locations.
One of the industry’s fastest and most
convenient chargers, the DC Fast Wall 50 kW boasts 97% efficiency.
It also features fast communications via integrated LTE and Wi-Fi
connectivity, a 10-inch touch screen display, and an RFID reader to
easily start a charge with a Blink member card, credit card, and
Blink Mobile app.
Blink Fleet Portal
An integrated electric fleet management
solution, the new Blink Fleet portal is designed to help fleet
managers improve operational efficiencies at all levels. The Blink
Fleet portal is a smart software platform that connects chargers,
vehicles, fleet managers, and fleet drivers – all in one convenient
solution – to improve reliability, flexibility, and uptime. The
product can also be integrated into existing platforms via API,
enabling even more flexibility.
Blink Fleet software offers a comprehensive
dashboard with real-time reporting and vehicle diagnostics for
fleet managers to track a variety of operations including routing,
charging depots and activity, vehicles and drivers, as well as
mobile charging in case of rescue needs in emergency situations. It
was designed upfront to enable 99% uptime. The software also
features smart AI enabled charging to automatically set when, how
much and how quickly to charge vehicles, as well as a Smart Grid
functionality to communicate with local utilities and avoid
off-peak hours.
For vehicle and driver management, the product
integrates with vehicle telematics for real-time information for
tracking and alerts, daily route management, charging status and
history, vehicle diagnostics, and service schedules. The Blink
Fleet solution also features a mobile app for drivers that includes
charging status, routes, updates, automatic data sync, and
communication.
Blink Mobile App
The new Blink Mobile App is designed to make the
EV charging experience easier and more accessible for both public
and home charging. It puts EV drivers in control with expanded
keyword search allowing drivers to search for nearby activities,
like a cafe or shopping center, that are in close proximity to a
charging station, seamlessly integrating EV charging into everyday
life. The Blink Mobile app also enables interoperability with other
charging providers’ networks, allowing drivers to charge at a
ChargePoint station, for example.
The new Blink Mobile App allows drivers to
reserve charging sessions in advance, favorite frequent charging
stations, and set charging reminders to take advantage of off-peak
electricity rates. The app also provides account and charging
history reporting and real-time charging information, which
includes estimated time left to charge and estimated costs to help
drivers plan their charging sessions.
Blink site hosts will have more flexibility and
functionality surrounding pricing, allowing them to more closely
mirror real electricity costs and adjust charging rates to EV
drivers in response. It will also feature more robust reporting to
allow hosts to better manage their costs and understand their
location’s use.
