April 20 2021 - 8:20AM
Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq: BLNK, BLNKW) (“Blink” or the
“Company”), a leading owner, operator, and provider of electric
vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, announced that it has
entered into a reseller agreement with ev Transportation
Services Inc. (“evTS”), an electric vehicle manufacturer focused on
the essential services and urban mobility markets. The agreement
calls for evTS to distribute Blink’s EV charging equipment to fleet
customers, along with its FireFly ESV® essential services vehicle.
The relationship is pairing Blink’s new IQ 200-M portable EV
charger with the evTS FireFly and creates a fully-electric EV
Roadside Assistance Vehicle solution.
The two companies introduced the first-of-its
kind roadside emergency EV charging solution at the Texas
Automobile Writer’s signature event, the Auto Roundup in Fort
Worth, Texas this week. The two-day event brought major automakers
with key automobile media and influencers. Held at the Texas Motor
Speedway, Auto Roundup proved to be an innovative and successful
platform to launch the innovative and fully-electric Roadside
Assistance vehicle.
"We believe the combination of Blink Charging’s
experience and industry leadership in automotive charging
technologies, and evTS’ experience in design and recent extension
of the FireFly platform into new sectors, creates the perfect
environment to strategically collaborate on several market
opportunities. It’s actually an ideal use case for our vehicles.
Blink’s Portable EV Charger allows us to offer urban road side
assistance capabilities, including emergency services at airports,
shopping malls and other multi-level parking structures where tight
spaces, vehicle access, and manuverabilty can be challenging and
larger vehicles aren’t able to operate as efficiently”, said evTS
Chairman & CEO David Solomont.
“This is an exciting development for Blink
Charging, and the Auto Roundup event provided the perfect
opportunity to showcase to the auto manufacturers how Blink is
innovating to drive widespread EV adoption. The combination of
Blink’s IQ 200-M and the versatile evTS FireFly ESV will play an
important role in further reducing consumers’ fears of range
anxiety. The evTS product provides a zero-emission, rapid response
solution for EV roadside assistance,” remarked Blink Vice President
of Marketing, Rebecca Gutierrez.
“We look forward to providing evTS with electric
vehicle charging solutions as demand for urban essential services
and last-mile e-mobility vehicles increases. In addition, we are
happy to be providing evTS’ fleet customers with a broad array of
charging solutions,” said Blink Senior Vice President of Sales and
Business Development, Mike Battaglia.
