Blink Charging Co. Electric Vehicle Chargers Earn ENERGYSTAR® Certification
July 31 2018 - 9:15AM
Leading Electric Vehicle Charging
Services Company Granted New Certification for Efficient Energy
Usage On Its Next Generation EV Chargers
Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: “BLNK”, “BLNKW”) (“Blink” or the
“Company”), a leading owner, operator and provider of electric
vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment and networked EV charging
services, announced today that it is the first company to have
earned the ENERGY STAR® certification on an 80A, network connected
charging station. This certification demonstrates that Blink’s
next-generation Level 2 EV charging stations have met or exceeded
the ENERGY STAR® requirements for the Electric Vehicle Supply
Equipment (EVSE) Program. Business owners deploying these
next-generation stations from Blink will be eligible for Energy
Star® related government grants, resources, refinancing programs
and tax incentives.
The ENERGY STAR® certification is awarded to EV
products built and operated in compliance with ENERGY STAR®
requirements, ensuring that the chargers use energy efficiently.
Blink’s next-generation 80A network connected Level 2 EV charging
stations are independently confirmed to use 40% less energy when in
standby mode than those that are not certified distinguishing
Blink’s charging stations in the marketplace.
ENERGY STAR® certifications are administered by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which independently
certifies products that use energy efficiently according to a
rigorous multi-step process. Certifications were formerly reserved
for physical buildings that excelled in energy conservation, but
now include a scoring system for EV charging station service
companies. Any charging station that receives the ENERGY STAR® seal
of approval uses 40% less energy than those that are not
certified.
“Bringing to market decreased EV charging time
utilizing energy efficient and sustainable hardware is what we have
envisioned for a long time,” stated Blink’s Founder and Executive
Chairman Michael D. Farkas. “Our team works relentlessly to deploy
state of the art EV charging technology to properties and cities
worldwide and we are proud to be among the first to earn ENERGY
STAR® certification with our 80A network connected chargers,” added
Mr. Farkas.
