City of West Palm Beach to Launch New EV Blink Charging Stations in City Parking Garages
WEST PALM BEACH, FL — The City of West Palm Beach is proud to announce the installation of new electric vehicle (EV) charging stations by Blink Charging Co. in three of our City’s parking garages — coming this November 2024. This initiative is part of the City’s ongoing commitment to sustainability and promoting the use of EV vehicles. The City’s new charging stations are efficient, convenient, and affordable.
The newly installed Blink charging stations will be easily accessible in the following parking garages: Clematis, Evernia, and City Center, making it more convenient for residents and visitors to charge their electric vehicles while in the City.
Key features of the new Blink charging stations include:
-
Efficient Charging Capability: Delivering a reliable and timely charge.
-
User-Friendly App: The Blink app allows users to locate charging stations, check availability, and manage charging sessions easily.
-
Sustainability Efforts: By increasing access to reliable EV charging stations, the City aims to reduce carbon emissions and promote cleaner transportation options.
“We are excited to partner with Blink Charging Co. to enhance our City’s EV infrastructure,” said Mayor Keith A. James. “This initiative not only supports our environmental goals but also provides residents and visitors with a convenient and more reliable source of power for their EVs whenever they need.”
Blink charging station rates will vary and be indicated by the machine; a vehicle’s battery size and current charge level determines the full cost of a charging session. EV drivers are encouraged to explore the website and download the Blink app to find charging locations and familiarize themselves with the charging process.
All installations of the new charging stations are expected to be completed by December 2024. For more information about the new Blink charging stations, visit BlinkCharging.com.
