Fort George Brewery Utilizes Pacific Power Grant to Install Blink Charging Station in the Heart of Downtown Astoria, Oregon
July 27 2020 - 08:45AM
Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK, BLNKW) (“Blink” or the
“Company”), a leading owner and operator of electric vehicle (EV)
charging equipment and services, announced the installation of a
new, dual 80 Amp IQ 200 charging station at the Fort George Brewery
in Astoria, OR.
The dual-station is conveniently located
directly across the street from the historic downtown brewery and
pub. Fort George obtained the Blink IQ 200 with help from a grant
from the local utility company, Pacific Power.
Blink Charging COO, Brendan Jones, remarked, "We
are excited to welcome the Fort George Brewery to the Blink family
and congratulate them on taking another important step to help
their community and the environment by providing green
transportation alternatives. By making these grant opportunities
available to local businesses, Pacific Power is taking an
innovative approach to help facilitate the EV charging
infrastructure growth needed to serve the community as EVs gain
mass adoption."
Jack Harris, Sustainability Project Manager at
the Fort George Brewery, added, "As part of this local community
we’re committed to doing our part to create
environmentally-friendly practices and offerings for our employees
and customers. The addition of Blink chargers, along with a focus
on bicycle and alternative transportation accommodations, positions
Fort George Brewery as a small green transportation hub for
historic downtown Astoria. We ultimately chose Blink chargers
because they are the most powerful on the market and work with
all-electric vehicles."
The IQ 200 charging stations are connected to
the Blink Network. They can deliver up to 19.2 kW reducing charge
times for newer model EVs. Fort George's charging station joins the
nearly 400 other Blink chargers already operating in Oregon and is
part of the rapidly expanding network of chargers across the United
States. Blink charging stations can be found on the Blink Mobile
app or Blink Map on the Blink Charging website.
The Pacific Power grant offers non-residential
customers quarterly grants for up to 100% of eligible purchase and
installation costs of EV charging equipment. Oregon's rebate
programs have issued almost 6,500 rebates for a total of over $15
million between 2019 and 2020. If you'd like more information
