August 12 2020 - 8:45AM
Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq: BLNK, BLNKW) (“Blink” or the
“Company”), a leading owner and operator of electric vehicle (EV)
charging equipment and services, today announced significant
changes to its membership program in conjunction with an improved
network user experience and completely redesigned website.
The Company has launched a completely redesigned
navigation and visual look to its proprietary network portal, the
Blink Network, and the BlinkCharging.com website.
The updated Blink Network features all of the
original member and host functionalities, including charger
management, extensive reporting, role-based controls, and dynamic
information securely available anytime from anywhere. This launch
also includes additional functionality including multi-level
pricing which allows employers to provide exclusive pricing to
employees charging at their Blink IQ 200 chargers.
Blink’s redesigned website features a
streamlined, modern design, improved functionality, and easy access
to a smoother flow of information for different audiences that
include:
- Existing Blink Network members who want to find a charging
station or learn more about Company products
- Host businesses that currently have or are interested in
obtaining an EV charging station at their locations
- EV drivers who want to learn more about Blink charging stations
or join the Blink Network
- Investors who want to research and better understand the
Company’s products, services, and strategy
The new website is also designed to accommodate
mobile viewing, including easier access to the Blink Network Login
and coverage map in order to better serve the large portion of
website traffic that comes from mobile devices. Furthermore, by
reducing the number of main tabs in the new website and offering to
steer different website visitors to content more applicable to
them, the redesign will also improve the user experience.
All new Blink digital platforms boast a
simplified and fluid navigation with redesigned interface, layout,
and graphics. The updated Network also boasts a responsive design
ensuring both members and hosts can view the portal on any device,
from smartphones to tablets to desktop computers.
Along with the digital platform improvements,
Blink announced a new membership offering to its existing 180,000+
membership base, the Pro membership. All new Blink members will
automatically be enrolled in the new Pro membership. It will
provide Blink with a prepaid membership option while offering EV
driver additional benefits and convenience. New Pro membership
benefits include exclusive member charging rates and discounts on
the Blink HQ 100 residential charging station.
“The very first impression a person forms about
a company often comes from its website. With our redesign, we are
putting our absolute best foot forward. It's streamlined navigation
and depth of information will serve EV drivers, current and
prospective business partners, investors furthering their due
diligence of the company, and even people looking to join the Blink
family,” commented Michael D. Farkas, Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer of Blink. “Just as we encourage everyone to drive EVs for
the benefit of the environment, we invite everyone to test drive
our new website from either a computer or mobile device to learn
about our products and services that are helping to bring about a
cleaner and greener world.”
