Blink Charging Co. has entered into a strategic partnership with ChargeHub, where Blink’s public EV chargers will be integrated into ChargeHub’s Passport roaming hub, making them available to over a million ChargeHub users.
The partnership will allow ChargeHub’s e-mobility service providers (eMSPs) and charge point operators (CPOs) to access and activate Blink’s chargers through the ChargeHub app.
This move aims to simplify the charging process for drivers by consolidating multiple network accounts into a single payment option, thereby enhancing the user experience.
ChargeHub, known for its EV roaming interoperability hub, Passport Hub, has over 150 roaming connections and covers more than two-thirds of networked chargers in the United States and Canada.
Blink, ranking as the third-largest EV charging network in the U.S., will benefit from increased visibility and accessibility through this integration.
Mike Battaglia, CEO-Elect at Blink, emphasized the importance of the agreement in meeting the company’s EV adoption goals and improving charging efficiency.
Simon Ouellette, CEO of ChargeHub, highlighted the collaboration’s role in providing coast-to-coast access to Blink’s chargers and integrating solutions that enhance the overall charging experience.
This partnership aligns with the observed growth of charging networks and the expanding presence of OEMs and fleets in the EV space, where streamlined roaming solutions are increasingly crucial.
By integrating Blink’s extensive network with ChargeHub’s tailored roaming services, the companies aim to ensure that drivers’ charging needs are met with ease and convenience.
