Blink Charging UK to Promote Healthier Air Quality with Charging for Charity Initiative
06 Setembro 2023 - 09:36AM
Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK) (“Blink” or the “Company”), a
leading global manufacturer, owner, operator and provider of
electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, announced
today that in recognition of World EV Day on September 9, it’s
wholly owned subsidiary, Blink Charging UK, will donate profits
made from its UK chargers. Blink’s participation aims to support
efforts to reduce air pollution throughout the UK, emphasizing the
significant positive effect EV adoption can have on air quality.
Blink Charging UK will donate the proceeds to
organizations working to eradicate lung diseases such as asthma.
The donation will be based on the total amount of EV charging
conducted on Blink UK’s chargers throughout September 9th. The more
drivers charge, the larger the donation.
The average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle
emits approximately 4.6 metric tons of carbon dioxide every year,
with each gallon of petrol burnt creating about 8,887 grams of
carbon dioxide. In contrast, EVs emit no tailpipe emissions. EV
adoption is a direct and significant step towards cleaning up the
air we breathe, creating a healthier environment for all. The UK
has seen significant strides in air pollution improvement in the
last decade. In London, both nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and fine
particulate matter (PM2.5) levels have experienced significant
reduction. Policies promoting the use of EVs have played a role in
being directly responsible for this noteworthy change.
In London, the 9th largest emitter of carbon
dioxide in the world, EV sales are on the rise with a
four-fold growth occurring in just three years between
2019-2022. Along with education on positive health benefits, the
sharp increase in EV adoption can be attributed to a variety of
financial incentives.
One out of every six deaths worldwide is caused
by air pollution, amounting to approximately nine million deaths
every year. Pollution is the largest environmental risk factor for
disease and premature death and diesel vehicles are considered as
one of the largest contributors to air pollution. In addition,
health issues such as asthma, COPD, and dementia are directly
aggravated by air pollution and vehicle emissions. Blink Charging
UK’s visionary involvement in promotion of EVs through EV charging
based donation aligns with the Company’s mission to address and
eradicate pollution caused by transportation. Since an average
passenger vehicle emits approximately 400 grams of carbon
dioxide for every mile traveled, every mile charged with Blink
makes a significant impact.
EV drivers can participate in the “Charge for
Charity” initiative simply by charging their cars at a Blink
charger on September 9th. Blink chargers can be found via the Blink
Charging UK Mobile App | Blink Charging UK.
