Why Electrical Contractors Should Choose Blink

As the benefits of electric vehicle (EV) charging stations for businesses become increasingly well-known in the US and beyond, more electrical contractors are being asked install commercial and residential chargers.

When planning commercial EV charging station installations, electrical contractors must consider many factors, including:

• How quickly and easily they can access EV charging stations,

• Whether those charging stations will be compliant with government regulations, and

• How simple the charging stations will be for them to install (and for clients to maintain and expand later).

Here are some of the benefits of choosing Blink Charging for electrical contractors when installing commercial EV charging stations.

Quick, easy access to EV charging stations

When preparing to install EV charging stations, hosts must consider budgeting, planning, designing, and procuring funding for EV charging infrastructure. Electrical and construction contractors need top-tier EV charging stations that can be shipped to wherever needed, without delay, to keep your projects on time and on budget.

Thanks to Blink’s extensive network of channel partners, which includes local and national companies that purchase, stock, and resell our products, electrical contractors can buy EV charging infrastructure as needed, so you can meet the growing demand for EV charging stations in the United States and provide EV charging infrastructure on your projects without delay.

Government compliance

Many businesses need EV chargers that are made in the United States. Our Series 7 ISO and Series 8 ISO commercial Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations are made in the United States to comply with the Buy America Act (BAA). Need Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant chargers? Blink has the right solution for you.

Simple installation, maintenance, and expansion

Blink EV charging stations are simple to install and maintain. When it is time for your clients to expand their EV charging footprint, Blink charging stations can be ordered, shipped, and quickly plugged into EV-ready parking stalls with minimal effort.

Once those charging stations are installed, Blink also offers 24/7 EV charging support services to minimize downtime for your clients with proactive monitoring and expert care. We keep your clients’ EV charging stations running smoothly around the clock.

Networked management

With the Blink Network, your clients will enjoy simple and efficient management of their EV charging stations. They will have a full view of all their stations, be able to monitor usage, create pricing based on power used, time spent plugged in, or a combination of both, create user groups with different price points, and generate usage and environmental reports.

Being connected to the cloud-based Blink Network also ensures that, if their charging stations are for public use, they will appear on popular EV charging locator services, such as the Blink Charging Mobile App, Plugshare, and Google Maps. Blink stations can be monetized to provide your clients with an additional revenue source, or they can be non-monetized for fleet purposes. Learn more about EV roaming.
