Hubject, a German technology company specializing in electric vehicle charging, announced on Thursday that they have entered into a collaborative agreement with Blink Charging (NASDAQ:BLNK) to provide Blink customers in the United States and Europe with the Plug&Charge functionality and grow the Plug&Charge ecosystem.
Plug&Charge enables fully automated charging capabilities. Drivers can plug in and charge up instantly using automatic EV-to-charging station authentication technology without the need for apps or RFID cards. The authentication begins as soon as the driver connects their vehicle to the Blink charging station. By implementing Plug&Charge on Blink charging stations, Blink and Hubject are creating a seamless and convenient charging experience for EV drivers.
“This collaboration will be an added benefit for EV drivers who charge with Blink chargers,” said Michael D. Farkas, CEO and Founder of Blink Charging. “Hubject’s Plug&Charge service will enable Blink users with vehicles capable of using Plug&Charge to charge their EVs without the need of an RFID card or using an app, making the charging experience more convenient and reliable.”
“We are thrilled to be partnering with Blink Charging to offer their drivers a seamless Plug&Charge experience across their expansive North American and European network,” says Trishan Peruma, CEO of Hubject Inc. “Creating an effortless charging experience for EV drivers lowers the barriers of EV adoption. The more straightforward the process, the more people will be convinced to join in the mobility transition.”
Shares of BLNK are down 3.12% in mid-day trading on Friday.
