For many drivers considering their first electric vehicle, one of the biggest barriers is this: fear of running out of electricity, also known as “EV range anxiety.” With public charging stations less frequent along highways than gas stations, it makes sense. A Volvo/Harris study found that 65% of EV drivers said that they initially had range anxiety that “went away after a few months,” which reflects the typical driver’s home charger usage. But for the rest of the drivers who sometimes take long road trips or forget to plug in their vehicle, Blink now has a new solution for range anxiety. EV roadside assistance is now available thanks to the newly redesigned Blink Mobile Charger. Here’s what you need to know.
Roadside Assistance Redesigned
The new Blink Mobile Charger represents the next generation of portable charging. In 2020, we launched our first-generation mobile charger, which included the IQ 200, a generator, and a modular frame. With this first-generation mobile charger, we helped companies like AAA power up their service fleets and get drivers back on the road.
