Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK) (“Blink” or the “Company”), a
leading global manufacturer, owner, operator and provider of
electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, today
announced the launch of its advanced EQ 200 charger in the UK and
Ireland.
The EQ 200 is one of a new generation of
vehicle-to-grid, bi-directional chargers designed to boost the
development of an effective EV charging infrastructure and enable
the switch from static EV charging to more dynamic and sustainable
energy management as grid technology develops.
The EQ 200’s smart features include Bluetooth,
Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and 2G and 4G connectivity, allowing the charger
to interact with a full range of load-balancing and intelligent
energy management systems, enabling vehicle-to-grid (VTG) and
vehicle-to-everything (VTX) capabilities as new systems emerge.
Going forward, these smart features will allow
the EQ 200 charger to draw on the energy stored in an electric
vehicle’s battery to power other devices in the office or home,
charge other EVs, or feed electricity back into the grid. This in
turn will help organizations, homeowners, and grid operators to
balance energy supply and demand.
The EQ 200 charger’s compact design makes it
suitable for workplace and parking operators as well as residential
users. The Level 2 (L2) AC charger has been designed for European
markets, and is ISO15118- and MID-certified, offering up to 22kW of
charging power output.
Miko de Haan, President of Blink
Charging Europe, said: “Electric vehicle sales outpaced
expectations in the UK last year, accounting for nearly 17% of new
registrations. This continued acceleration of EV adoption demands a
sophisticated EV charging infrastructure, and we hope to play our
part in growing a network of future-capable chargers that supports
EV ambitions.”
Alex Calnan, Managing Director, Blink
Charging UK, said: “The launch of our grid-ready EQ 200
charger into the UK and Irish markets is an important moment for EV
charging. Facilities including car parks, depots and offices now
have the option of an advanced solution capable of interacting with
smart energy systems.”
Blink UK has more than 2000 chargers in the
United Kingdom and Ireland with customers in sectors including
local authorities, NHS healthcare trusts, universities, and fleets.
Blink Charging UK has ambitious plans to further expand its
offerings in the UK and Ireland to include new commercial and home
chargers, global network services and apps, and new fleet
management tools.
