Blink Charging Announces Agreement with Bridgestone Retail Operations to Bring Electric Vehicle Charging Stations to Tire and Vehicle Service Centers
26 Janeiro 2022 - 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 a
cooperation with Bridgestone Retail Operations (“BSRO”),
a subsidiary of Bridgestone Americas, to deploy 50 Blink IQ 200
charging stations at 25 Firestone Complete Auto Care and Wheel
Works tire and automotive service centers. These deployments are
the first Blink chargers at Bridgestone service centers and are
part of the company’s broader initiative to address the needs of
electric vehicle consumers.
“Demand for EVs is expected to continue to rise
exponentially. More EVs on the streets brings a need for EV car
services in addition to increased demand for convenient charging
stations for EVs to fuel up,” said Michael D. Farkas,
Founder, and CEO of Blink Charging. “This collaboration
combines our industry-leading charging technology with the trusted
Bridgestone brand, providing drivers with reliable EV charging at
trusted automotive locations. Collaborations with mainstream
consumer brands, such as Bridgestone, play an important role in the
pursuit of widespread EV adoption in the U.S.”
Each of the 25 locations will deploy a dual-port
Blink IQ 200 fast level 2 charging station. Pilot locations will be
in central markets with a significant or growing electric vehicle
footprint, including Austin, Texas; Denver, Colorado; Los Angeles
and San Francisco, California. BSRO operates the largest
network of company-owned automotive service providers in the world
— more than 2,200 tire and vehicle service centers across the
United States — including Firestone Complete Auto Care, Tires Plus,
Hibdon Tires Plus and Wheel Works store locations.
“As a leader in the industry, Blink delivers
innovative technology solutions for our site hosts and offer the
most flexible and personalized business models in the industry,”
stated Farkas.
The Blink IQ 200 chargers are the
fastest Level 2 AC charging stations available, producing 80 Amps
of output, delivering 19.2kW to EVs, and reducing charge times for
new EVs that are coming to market. The IQ 200 also enables maximum
flexibility and customer control through multiple deployment
configurations, including wall mount, pole mount, and pedestal
mount options.
