Blink Charging Co. (BLNK) is celebrating a significant milestone: exceeding 100,000 electric vehicle (EV) chargers sold, deployed, or contracted globally. This achievement is a testament to the company’s commitment to advancing the electric transportation revolution.
Blink attributes its success to its streamlined turnkey model, which simplifies project management from the initial planning stages to the final installation. This model, coupled with Blink’s expert team, ensures a smooth and efficient deployment process for its customers. To further enhance reliability, Blink offers optional preventative maintenance programs, such as Blink Care, which prioritize charger uptime and ensure optimal performance.
“This landmark is truly a collaborative effort shared among every member of the Blink team, each of our customers, and the demand from the EV community, all of whom share Blink’s vision to enable independence for all through the global electrification of transportation,” said Mike Battaglia, Chief Operating Officer and CEO-Elect at Blink.
While Blink celebrates this milestone, the company has also implemented cost-cutting measures to improve operational efficiency. Earlier this month, Blink announced plans to lay off approximately 14% of its global workforce. Additionally, Brendan Jones, the company’s current President & CEO, will be retiring on January 31, 2025, with Michael (Mike) Battaglia stepping into the role effective February 1.

While analysts may have varying opinions and price targets, there is a general consensus that Blink Charging has strong growth potential in the expanding EV market.
Despite some recent challenges, Blink Charging remains a significant player in the EV infrastructure landscape. The company’s commitment to innovation, customer satisfaction, and operational efficiency positions it for continued success as the demand for electric vehicles continues to grow worldwide.
