leading global manufacturer, owner, operator and provider of
electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, today
announced it has been selected as a full-service EV infrastructure
provider for Mack Trucks through Mack’s Vendor Direct Ship and
Turnkey Solutions program.
Mack Trucks selected Blink and its reliable,
scalable EV equipment and extensive fleet expertise. As operators
look to electrify their fleets, Blink and its advanced EV charging
products provide dedicated expertise to help accurately assess
particular fleet needs to optimize infrastructure services and
provide end-to-end software solutions. Additionally, Blink has
commenced deploying workplace chargers at multiple Volvo and Mack
facilities nationwide.
“We applaud the efforts of Mack for their
forward-thinking in advancing fleet electrification and we are
excited to be selected as a charging partner in their Turnkey
Solutions program, providing reliable and advanced charging
solutions,” said Jim Nemec, Chief Revenue Officer at Blink
Charging. “Building a dependable charging infrastructure is vital
in keeping electric fleets operational and on the road. We look
forward to continuing to work with Mack as they move to bring
e-mobility to fleets around the country.”
Mack Trucks' Turnkey Solutions program covers
all phases of infrastructure development. Encompassing initial site
consultations, acquisition of charging hardware and software,
permit procurement, installation processes, liaising with utility
companies, and maintenance of the charging equipment. It also helps
fleets find incentives and write grant proposals.
“Our charging partnerships and the Turnkey
Solutions program as a whole will enable customers to more easily
manage the development and installation of infrastructure for the
Mack MD Electric and Mack LR Electric vehicles,” said Ryan Saba,
Mack energy solutions manager. “The strategic partnerships Mack has
in place will aid customers with support, including charger uptime.
This is a key differentiator for Mack since charging components
continue to be difficult to secure.”

totaling approximately $43.4 million, and a surge in gross profits
by 167% to roughly $12.8 million in contrast to Q3 2022. Blink also
