EV charging for parking operators: why Blink is your go-to choice

Posted 06/01/2024

Traditionally, public car parks provide safe and centralized parking for visitors. Yet, with the growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), customers are expecting an added service: EV charging. As more and more drivers trade in the pump for the charger, parking operators face both a challenge and an opportunity.

The challenge? Integrating EV charging infrastructure into the existing layout without compromising the available parking space. Easy access and navigation should also be guaranteed. The opportunity? A charging station presents a new source of income, which can further optimize revenue.

EQ 200: a popular choice for parking operators

A flagship model setting new standards

In Blink’s line-up for charging stations in parking facilities, the EQ 200 stands out. Launched in 2023, this pioneering charger sets new standards in sustainability and technology.

For instance, the EQ 200 is V2G-ready (Vehicle-to-Grid). In the future, this will allow for a bidirectional energy flow. This means that EV batteries can be used to support the grid during peak demand periods.

Highlighting Blink’s smart energy management

Through dynamic load balancing, we continually maximize the available energy. This enables a balanced distribution of power across connected EVs, addressing concerns about circuit overload.

Other than that, our chargers are easily integrated with self-produced energy such as solar energy. In the future, they will allow for even more advanced energy solutions such as battery storage.
