Blink Charging Provides the City of Chula Vista, CA with Fast Public EV Chargers
August 19 2022 - 9:40AM
Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq: BLNK, BLNKW) ("Blink"), a leading
owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging
equipment and services, announced that an agreement has been signed
with the City of Chula Vista, California to install 31 Blink IQ 200
fast Level 2 charging stations in various locations within the
city. The five-year agreement with automatic renewals reaffirm the
city’s and Blink’s commitment to providing accessible, reliable,
and fast EV charging infrastructure throughout the community. Blink
will own and operate the EV chargers.
Chula Vista was an early adopter of EV charging
technologies first deploying Blink EV chargers in 2012. As the
city’s electric vehicle use expands, Blink continues to make
servicing their existing EV chargers and bringing more chargers
online, a priority as they prepare for what is expected to be
ongoing widespread EV adoption by residents and visitors.
“Providing EV charging for Chula Vista is a key
step to support Chula Vista’s climate action goals to increase the
adoption of alternative fuel vehicles,” said Chula Vista’s
Environmental Sustainability Manager Coleen Wisniewski. “Ensuring
existing EV chargers can properly operate is essential to our
region and to reaching our local and state goals.”
The EV charging infrastructure also supports the
goals of the state of California to get 5 million zero-emission
vehicles on the road by 2030. The California Governor’s recent
executive order directs the state to require that, by 2035, all new
cars and passenger trucks sold in California be zero-emission
vehicles.
"We are delighted that Chula Vista continues to
be forward leaning when it comes to the future of transportation.
California has been a leader in the adoption of electric vehicles
and through this upgrade agreement, Chula Vista carries that
forward regarding infrastructure development. With the new Blink IQ
200s, Chula Vista residents can have confidence that their city's
charging infrastructure is well positioned to meet their charging
needs today and to serve the EVs of tomorrow," commented Brendan
Jones, President of Blink Charging.
Blink's IQ 200 units are among the fastest level
2 AC charging stations available on the market, with a maximum
output of 80 amps. The Blink IQ 200 chargers have been well
received by leading EV industry experts.
