GlobeNewswire Inc.
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 a donation of 10
Blink HQ 150 Level 2 chargers to the Tennessee Socially Equal
Energy Efficient Development (SEEED), a non-profit that seeks to
serve the young adults and largely marginalized community members
in the greater Knoxville area. These deployments are the first
Blink chargers distributed to SEEED as part of their commitment to
ensure equitable access to electric vehicle charging.
SEEED has worked in Knoxville, TN for the past
13 years to provide pathways out of poverty for young adults
through career readiness training, environmental education and
community engagement. To realize their vision of healthy and
sustainable communities, SEEED launched their green construction
program to build 10 affordable, innovative, energy-efficient solar
homes for low-income families. Blink will be supplying HQ 150 Level
2 chargers to each of these homes at no cost, the first of which
just finished construction.
“As demand for EVs continues to grow, it is
imperative that the infrastructure to power these vehicles is
installed equitably and sustainably across regions and
socio-economic levels,” said Brendan Jones, President of Blink
Charging. “This donation from Blink helps to provide residents of
East Knoxville with access to EV charging and supports SEEED’s
vision of an inclusive and sustainable future.”
“We at SEEED are so appreciative of Blink’s
generous donation to our organization,” said SEEED founder and
Executive Director, Stan Johnson. “Our solar homes project is
designed to increase housing equity and provide low-income families
with pathways out of poverty, with energy efficient homes equipped
with solar panels providing a consistent flow of green power and
incredibly low utility costs. The addition of EV chargers donated
by Blink helps us further our mission and supports the success of
this project.”
Blink’s industry-leading HQ 150 chargers are
ideal for residential use, featuring a 32 amp, 240 volt charger
that is compatible with all EV models and provides up to 4x faster
charging than a standard AC level 1 charging cord. The HQ 150 has a
long, 25 foot cable that can reach all sides of a house’s
garage.
