Blink Charging and Allegiant Stadium, Home of Las Vegas Raiders, Team Up to Provide On-Site EV Charging for Fans and Visitors
February 06 2024 - 7:15AM
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 it has been named as the official EV charging provider
for Allegiant Stadium, home of the Las Vegas Raiders, providing
much-needed reliable EV charging solutions for drivers.
As demand and popularity for electric vehicles
surge, the installation of Blink’s chargers across Allegiant
Stadium stands poised to empower both fans and employees, offering
them the convenience of charging their EVs. These chargers,
operational 24/7, will provide EV owners with the flexibility to
utilize Allegiant Stadium’s charging facilities at any time.
Whether attending a major game, shopping at the Raider Image,
enjoying a concert, participating in an event at the stadium, or
simply passing by and in need of a quick charge, users can access
these amenities seamlessly.
“Allegiant Stadium and the Las Vegas Raiders are
at the forefront of sustainability, and we’re proud to be chosen as
the official charging provider for the stadium,” said Mike
Battaglia, Chief Operations Officer at Blink Charging. “Through
this collaboration, Blink’s leading EV infrastructure will now be
relied upon by those attending some of the biggest sporting and
entertainment events in the world, advancing the shift to
electrification.”
“We are excited to welcome Blink Charging as the
Official EV Charging Provider of the Las Vegas Raiders and
Allegiant Stadium,” said Raiders Vice President of Stadium
Operations Christopher Sotiropulos. “Our organization’s record on
sustainability and renewable energy speaks for itself, and we feel
more than confident putting our trust in Blink’s know-how and
expertise to provide fans and guests a seamless EV charging
experience when visiting Allegiant Stadium. This will be yet
another step in further enriching our top-tier guest
experience.
Following two significant sustainability-related
announcements earlier this year, this agreement marks yet another
stride towards environmental stewardship at Allegiant Stadium. In
July, the stadium proudly unveiled its LEED (Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design) Gold Certification by the U.S. Green
Building Council (USGBC), a prestigious international recognition
denoting excellence in the green building practices. This
distinction places Allegiant Stadium among the elite seven
professional football stadiums to achieve such an honor. Moreover,
in October, the stadium reaffirmed its commitment to sustainability
by becoming the inaugural professional football stadium powered
entirely by renewable energy.
Blink will equip Allegiant Stadium with its
powerful Series 8 charging station, a Level 2 80-amp charger
offering flexibility and convenient built-in features. Specifically
crafted for commercial use, this station is an impeccable fit for
stadium environments. Designed with user convenience in mind, the
Series 8 charging station allows drivers to seamlessly make
payments using credit cards or digital wallets, eliminating the
necessity for memberships, RFID cards, or mobile apps. Its compact
form, coupled with multiple mounting options, ensures effortless
installation while integrating to the Blink Network. This makes the
Blink’s Series 8 an optimal charging solution for various
commercial settings that require a physical credit card reader.
Furthermore, housed within a NEMA 3R outdoor-rated enclosure, this
charging station offers flexibility for indoor or outdoor
installations. Equipped with a standard 18-foot charging cable, (or
the optional 25-foot upgrade) the Series 8 effortlessly reaches
around any vehicle, ensuring accessibility and ease for all
users.
