Blink has been continuously making progress in developing initiatives to increase the availability and reliability of chargers.

For eligible claims, this comprehensive extended warranty covers mechanical and electrical failures, normal wear and tear, accidental damage, and power surges, allowing customers to focus on expanding their EV charging networks without the hassle of managing repair logistics.

"We are excited to announce our strategic collaboration with Blink, marking a pivotal moment for both companies and the EV charging industry,” said Andrew Hoehner, CEO of EVSTAR. “Pooling our strengths, we are introducing groundbreaking solutions and redefining EV charger protection and warranty standards to ensure existing and future devices will always be functional.
