Blue Corner, a Blink Charging Company (Nasdaq: BLNK,
BLNKW) (Blue Corner), and pioneer of electric vehicle charging in
Europe, today announced it has signed a 10-year agreement with
BluePoint, a leading venue and workspace provider and subsidiary of
Belgium’s Technology Trade Federation AGORIA, to deploy 280 EV
charging ports to support more than 2,000 member companies at
BluePoint’s business & network centers throughout Belgium.
Blue Corner will install, operate, and maintain
the new EQ 200 EV chargers at selected BluePoint business &
conference centers located in Brussels, Antwerp and Liege. The
installation of the fast Level 2 chargers will be phased in over
the next couple years, providing much needed charging services to
meet the increasing demand as EV sales continue to grow throughout
Belgium.
“We are proud to partner with BluePoint and
AGORIA to install the right chargers in the right places to ensure
we are meeting the needs of EV drivers,” said Olivier Van Schap,
Managing Director at Blue Corner. “We welcome the employees of the
more than 2,000 AGORIA member companies to our expanding EV
charging network throughout Belgium and helping drive the adoption
of EVs everywhere.”
AGORIA brings together 2,079 technology
companies and all those who are inspired by technology. With more
than 321,000 employees, this technology sector is the largest
sector in Belgium with a clear focus on digitalization, the
manufacturing industry of tomorrow, infrastructure, climate,
environment, and energy.
“We want to support and engage our members to
develop a mobility plan leading to the modal shift so that by the
year 2025 at least half of our members have made this important
step. By the same year, we want to help prepare our members so that
every new car company in the sector is powered by a zero-emission
technology,” Jean-Marc Timmermans, AGORIA Business Group Leader
Manufacturing, Transport & Mobility Technologies
said.
Philippe Vanwichelen, BluePoint Technology and
Project Manager said: “Today, we are sending a clear message that
the transition to a more sustainable and connected future is a step
closer to reality. Our agreement with Blue Corner today is part of
our national strategy to making concrete and strong
commitments to ultimately create as much value for society as
possible.”
Scheduled for installation is the newly released
EQ 200, designed by Blink Charing with flexibility in mind, to fit
any location with its compact form and multiple installation
options. This three-phase AC charging station produces a powerful
32 amps at 22kW of output and offers a simplified management
experience with networked remote support for configuration,
maintenance, and hassle-free control of the charging station. This
impressive charger is able to connect to Wi-Fi and to interact with
various Home Energy Management Systems (HEMS), with comprehensive
access to remote controls. Users will also have access to, and
communicate with the Blink Charging Mobile App as well as providing
visibility on the Blink Map to over 440,000 active EV drivers
registered on the Blink Network across 27 countries.
Additionally, the EQ 200 is focused on providing
efficiency and intelligent scalability, with growth in mind with
supporting technologies such as Plug & Charge (ISO 15118)
functionality, enabling an electric vehicle to automatically
identify and authorize itself to a compatible charging station on
behalf of the driver, to receive energy for recharging its battery.
The only action required by the driver is to plug the charging
cable into the EV and/or charging station.
