There’s no turning back. Nearly half of all new vehicles in Europe in 2023 were electric, according to ACEA (The European Automobile Manufacturers’ Association). The European Commission even passed a deal that will end the sale of new CO2-emitting cars in Europe by 2035.
Because of this, more and more companies are integrating EVs in their fleets. This comes with opportunities, but with challenges as well. The need for hassle-free and flexible charging solutions is apparent – and we know just where you have to start.

Bye, bye, home charging dilemmas
Challenge: avoiding substantial installation at home
As a company, you want to enable your employees to charge their EVs at home, without a care in the world. Yet, you have concerns about the installation. You definitely want to steer clear of unnecessarily high costs. We hear you.
Solution: effortless home charging with mobile chargers
If you want to avoid permanent installations at your employees’ homes, our mobile chargers come to the rescue. Introducing: the PQ 100 and the PQ 150. These portable cables can be taken anywhere.
Both chargers can be plugged into a regular socket. With an industrial socket, the PQ 150 can even charge up to 22 kW. This requires only minimal installation by an electrician or handyman of your choice.
Have a company car that needs to switch drivers? The smart cable is easily transferred to a new employee with no loss of cost.
Looking for more advanced solutions such as dynamic energy management? Then we’d recommend the EQ 200 as a fixed installation.
Challenge: overcoming payment hassle for at-home charging

Solution: transparent and user-friendly billing
Employers and employees only pay for the energy used, including a small fee for Blink’s reliable customer service. This takes away unnecessary financial strain.
