Blink Charging Awarded Grant from Virginia Clean Cities to Place 200 Fast Level 2 Charging Stations Across the Mid-Atlantic Region - Seite 2

Blink has worked with four clean cities coalitions to expand charging station networks to meet regional alternative fuel goals. In Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia and Washington DC, Blink has an existing network of charging stations to expand upon including charging stations at IKEA storelocations in Norfolk, VA, College Park, MD, and Baltimore, MD, at Whole Foods stores in McLean, VA, Richmond, VA, Roanoke VA, Baltimore, MD, and Washington, DC and at the McDonald’s in Fairlea, WV. Blink originally provided the Virginia Clean Cities coalition with demonstration EV charging equipment in 2011, and the Company’s staff has worked with the state of Virginia repeatedly, to plan for electric vehicles. Blink will work with its existing site hosts and the partners participating on this regional ecosystem project, to obtain additional sites and install charging stations quickly and efficiently.

ABOUT VIRGINIA CLEAN CITIES
The Virginia Clean Cities works with vehicle fleets, fuel providers, community leaders, and other stakeholders to save energy and promote the use of domestic fuels and advanced vehicle technologies in transportation. Clean Cities' efforts span from state and local, to national collaborations. Over the years, partnerships and projects have significantly increased the availability of alternative fuels and infrastructure, thereby enabling a growing number of fleets to choose alternative fuel vehicles (AFVs). The U.S. Department of Energy's Vehicle Technologies Office funds projects that are competitively awarded and cost-shared. These coalition-supported projects often leverage additional resources from private and public sector partners to help communities lay the foundation for hundreds of alternative fuels and vehicle projects.
