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, has
announced the establishment of a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)
aimed at enhancing EV charging infrastructure in the UK and beyond.
This innovative initiative, spearheaded by Blink, will facilitate
deploying significant funding to support the growth of the EV
sector’s owner-operator model. Blink has engaged Axxeltrova, a
private equity firm specializing in digital infrastructure,
renewable energy, and sustainable investments, to join Blink as the
SPV’s first funding partner.
With a £100 million initial funding goal, the
SPV will enable investors to participate in the booming EV
infrastructure market. It will provide a future-proof sustainable
investment opportunity and a pathway to share in the success of EV
charging solutions. The SPV structure is designed to attract
additional investments, ensuring that Blink can deploy substantial
assets toward expanding accessible charging networks.
“We are thrilled to lead this initiative by
establishing our first SPV, reflecting Blink’s commitment to
expanding EV infrastructure and supporting the transition to
electric mobility,” said Mike Battaglia, CEO-Elect of Blink
Charging. “While we are in the early stages and agreements are
still being formalized, the potential for growth in the EV sector
is unmistakable. We invite other investors to join us in this
exciting opportunity to shape the future of electric mobility.”
Miko de Haan, President of Blink Europe &
Emerging Markets, adds, “Partnering with investors such as
Axxeltrova, which brings deep financial expertise in tech
investments, positions us to provide a unique and impactful
contribution to meeting the needs of EV infrastructure across the
UK and beyond.”
The SPV targets projects eligible for subsidies
through the UK’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (LEVI)
funding.
“Axxeltrova is excited to collaborate with Blink
to support the launch of this SPV, marking a significant step
forward in advancing the EV charging landscape,” stated Rick
Phillips , Managing Partner. “It is rewarding to be a part of
meaningful progress in developing the essential infrastructure for
electric vehicles, addressing the steadily increasing demand.”
