Blink eyes significant EV charging expansion via smart streetlights

Blink Charging, a provider of electric vehicle charging equipment and services, announced Tuesday that it will work with Israeli smart city developer Ya’acobi Brothers Group to combine their technologies. The result will be a first-of-its-kind electric charging station integrated with light poles that can also offer flexible charging to enable smart city infrastructure.  The companies say the light pole charging stations can be integrated with internet of things functionality, such as Wi-Fi, a camera, internet security and Blink’s cloud-based network.
