October 01 2020 - 9:15AM
Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK, BLNKW) ("Blink" or the
"Company"), a leading owner and operator of electric vehicle (EV)
charging equipment and services, has announced the sale and planned
deployment of 14 IQ 200 charging station at five locations in the
City of Richmond, California. Funds have been awarded to the City
of Richmond by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District through
the Transportation Fund for Clean Air program making this public EV
access expansion project possible. The units are scheduled for
installation at the ferry terminal building, the Bayview Library,
the May Valley Fire Station, the Hilltop Fire Station, North
Richmond Fire Station #62 and at the Port of Richmond, and will
consist of several configuration options including dual-port,
smart/kiosk, and advanced units. The first units are tentatively
scheduled for installation at the ferry terminal building during
National Drive Electric Week, from September 28 to October 4, 2020.
"California continues to lead the nation in the
adoption of EV usage, and we're pleased that the City of Richmond
has selected Blink to expand its EV infrastructure. One of our
competitive advantages is our product's deployment flexibility. The
City certainly represents how we can work together to find the
perfect deployment configuration for each location," commented
Brendan Jones, Chief Operating Officer of Blink Charging.
"We look forward to working with the City of
Richmond on this deployment to expand the availability and
convenience of their EV charging infrastructure. California has
long been a strong market for our products. We look forward to
future opportunities in the state, particularly as municipalities
evaluate their EV framework in light of Governor Newsom's recent
executive order banning the sale of new gas-powered passenger cars
and pick-up trucks by 2035," Mr. Jones added.
Richmond Mayor Tom Butt stated, "Our City is
committed to the ongoing transition to cleaner, environmentally
friendly EVs, and we recognize that an important part of this
evolution is our ability to provide reliable and convenient
charging alternatives to our residents and visitors. Our goal
is to truly become “electric city,” leading the region in charging
infrastructure. Blink is an important part of meeting this goal.
We're excited to finalize the installations and begin welcoming
users to these new charging locations."
Blink Charging will be taking part in Richmond's
National Drive Electric Week event educating residents about EV
charging. The Company will also provide multiple home charging
stations for the City to promote this event. For more information
