"The accelerating adoption of electric vehicles represents an enormous opportunity for EV infrastructure providers, and Blink in particular, as more and more drivers seek fast, convenient and reliable charging options. One of the key differentiators of our model is that we are the owner and operator of many of our chargers and realize an economic benefit each time a vehicle is charged at one of our owned units. We are confident that as EV adoption grows and utilization of chargers increases, we will see substantial economic returns from our owned chargers. As a leader in the EV charging space, we have been systematically expanding our footprint and growing our brand recognition by capturing premium locations and establishing strategic partnerships that promote the adoption of EV use. Importantly, these initiatives position Blink for continued growth as the EV revolution takes hold," commented Michael D. Farkas, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Blink.
