    Do I need to be a Blink Member to charge with Blink?

    Anyone can use a public Blink charging station; no membership is necessary. However, there are advantages to becoming a Blink Member. Members gain access to their charging history and may qualify for discounted rates at select public charging stations on the Blink Network across the country. Note that membership is required to charge at a private Series station.

    Drivers have multiple options to access and start charging sessions at public Blink EV chargers: through the Blink Charging mobile app, the Blink membership card, or the automated pay-by-phone system for Series X chargers. Additionally, using the credit card reader available on select charging stations.

    In North America, Blink Level 2 charging stations are compatible with all electric vehicles that use the J1772 plug, which is standard on all North American vehicles. The Blink units can also charge Tesla model vehicles with the Tesla/NACS adapter available directly through Tesla. For DC Fast Chargers, please check your vehicle manual for compatibility with standard CCS, CHAdeMO and NACS connectors.

    The length of time necessary to charge an EV depends on the station amperage, starting battery level, and vehicle model. A Level 2 charging station may deliver 25-50 miles of range per charging hour. Please refer to your vehicle’s owners manual or view the Blink Charging Time Calculator for more detailed information.
