Small Businesses Embrace EV Charging as Blink Deploys IQ 200 Chargers in Massachusetts as Part of MassEVIP Workplace and Fleet Charging Program
August 18 2021 - 9:15AM
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 the
deployment of five fast IQ 200 Level 2 AC EV charging stations at
the Holiday Manufacturing Inc. facility in Framingham,
Massachusetts.
The purchase and installation of the host owned
Blink IQ 200 chargers were made possible by the Massachusetts
Department of Environmental Protection and Eversource (New
England’s largest energy provider), which provided funding to
support this deployment via the MassEVIP Workplace and Fleet
Charging program, as well as the Eversource Make-Ready program.
“As we continue to grow our northeast market
share, we are pleased that small businesses like Holiday
Manufacturing understand that the future of transportation is all
electric and have the foresight to deploy our IQ 200 EV charging
stations, knowing they won’t fall victim to the planned
obsolescence of other Level 2 chargers,” remarked Blink’s President
Brendan Jones. “This agreement is a testament to the forward
thinking of Holiday Manufacturing and its desire to lead by example
by providing its employees and the general public with accessible
EV charging. As one of only three EV charging station locations in
Framingham, we applaud Holiday Manufacturing for its role in
expanding EV charging in the region.
Holiday Manufacturing is a family-owned bow and
ribbon wholesaler headquartered in Framingham, Massachusetts. It
manufactures hand-made bows and ribbons for a variety of occasions
and sells them online directly to customers. Like Blink, Holiday
Manufacturing is a flexible and nimble company which can
accommodate both stock and custom orders.
Erik Simon, President of Holiday Manufacturing,
commented on the deployment as follows: “We are pleased to offer
the public and our staff access to EV charging with Blink’s IQ 200
chargers. We are committed to reducing our impact on the
environment and deploying these state-of-the-art EV chargers at our
facility is a significant step towards accomplishing that
goal.”
For the installation of the charging stations,
Holiday Manufacturing upgraded its electrical infrastructure to
100amp circuits for each charger, allowing it to provide up to 65
miles of range per 1 hour of charge, the fastest Level 2 charging
on the market.
