Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ:BLNK) shares are trading higher on Friday. The company disclosed that it had exceeded 100,000 electric vehicle (EV) chargers sold, deployed, or contracted worldwide.
Blink Charging attributes its achievement to several key factors, including its turnkey model, which streamlines project management from initiation to installation with the help of Blink experts.
The company also prioritizes charger uptime by providing optional preventative maintenance programs, such as Blink Care.
"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.
