GlobeNewswire Inc.
Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK) (“Blink” or the “Company”), a
leading manufacturer, owner, operator and provider of electric
vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, announced it was
awarded an IDIQ contract by the United States Postal Service (USPS)
to sell up to 41,500 EV charging units to support EV charging
infrastructure for the USPS as part of its vehicle electrification
strategy.
“We are honored to be selected by the US Postal
Service to provide our reliable and advanced EV charging stations
and ancillary network services for their growing fleet of electric
vehicles and we applaud their efforts to modernize and make the
move towards a sustainable and efficient electric fleet,” said
Michael D. Farkas, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Blink
Charging. “The Postal Service’s recent announcement of purchasing
more EVs and building the necessary charging infrastructure is
another step in developing a complete transition in going electric.
This move towards electrification sets a precedent that we are
hopeful all fleet owners will follow.”
Blink will provide its Series 7 dual-port
charger that features up to 80 amps of power at each port. These
fast Level 2 AC chargers allow two vehicles to charge
simultaneously on the Universal J1772 connector, at 19.2kW. The
NEMA 3R outdoor-rated enclosure allows flexible installation either
indoors or outdoors. The compact form factor allows for ideal
placement with mounting options on a wall or pedestal. Standard
18-foot charging cables (or the optional 25-foot upgrade) can reach
around any vehicle, or between parking spaces, allowing greater
flexibility for postal locations.
Blink offers a broad range of fleet products and
services to bring sustainable practices and green initiatives to
fleet facilities and create a reliable and ready fleet system.
These products and services include innovative hardware and
management software that connects vehicles, drivers and EV
chargers, and the ability to build on existing EV charging
infrastructure, maximize savings on cost with power management
controls, and save on lifetime vehicle maintenance cost.
