Blink innovates with portable EV emergency charger

Blink has announced the launch of its new mobile electric vehicle (EV) charging station.

The portable EV charger is designed to provide roadside assistance to EV drivers anywhere they may be.

The free-standing mobile EV charging station supports 240V AC charging and provides up to 9.6kW of charge. At this charging rate, the simple plug-in charging unit can deliver up to one mile of charge per minute, allowing drivers to quickly reach the nearest charging station or their homes.

The unit is compatible with all EVs, including all Tesla models and does not require installation.

Michael D. Farkas, Founder and Executive Chairman of Blink, said: "This new mobile charger is tremendously innovative, and I’m excited for our Blink members and all EV drivers to experience its ability to help them when they need a charge the most.

"The Blink mobile EV charging station provides yet another valuable emergency service for its members and all EV drivers. This product reaffirms to our members and investors that Blink is developing the infrastructure needed to benefit the large number of EVs hitting the streets, while also helping to offset concerns surrounding range-anxiety for prospective EV drivers.”
