New York EV Infrastructure Bolstered by Blink EV Charging Stations To Be Deployed Across New York Four Brothers Pizza Inn Loc...
08 April 2021 - 11:30PM
Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq: BLNK, BLNKW) ("Blink" or the
"Company"), a leading owner, operator, and provider of electric
vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, announced the
upcoming deployment of 42 charging ports at ten Four Brothers Pizza
Inn (Four Brothers) locations across New York. The 21 Blink owned
dual port chargers were made possible through the Charge Ready
program from the New York State Energy Research and Development
Authority (NYSERDA) and Make Ready incentive offered by New York
utilities.
NYSERDA provides rebates of up to $4,000 per
charging port to deploy EV charging stations in the state. When
coupled with Make Ready incentives offered by various utility
providers across New York, the installations of Blink's fast IQ 200
chargers were made possible at little to no cost to Blink or Four
Brothers Pizza Inn. Destination locations where EV drivers stop for
a period of time, like Four Brothers, are reaching out to Blink to
help utilize these funds to further expand EV charging
infrastructure.
"As electric vehicle use continues to gain
popularity, drivers are looking for convenient and reliable
charging options at dining establishments and entertainment venues,
where they can park and charge. We're pleased to have this
opportunity to partner with Four Brothers, an historical and
respected family business, utilizing our owner/operator model, said
Brendan Jones, President of Blink Charging. “We're confident that
EV drivers, among their clientele, will recognize the value of our
fast Level 2 chargers. We look forward to opportunities to support
future Four Brothers locations."
"We are excited to join the ranks of the EV
community by offering Blink EV charging stations to our customers
and patrons while they dine or even catch a movie at our Amenia
location drive-in theater. We are happy to be part of a greener
future for generations to come and support the EV expansion across
the state with more EV charging destinations at our locations,”
said John Stefanopoulos of Four Brothers.
“We’re excited to be partnering with Blink
on this momentum shift towards a greener world. While the value is
clear in the short term, the long term benefits will be monumental
for our planet, customers, and business," added Four Brothers’ Hank
Bessinger.
The chargers will be deployed using Blink's
local load management, which allows one, IQ 200 dual port charger,
to be deployed on a single 100 amp circuit while providing up to 80
amp of output. Four Brothers locations across New York that
will be offering Blink EV charging stations include restaurants in
Dover Plains, Hillsdale, Pleasant Valley, Millerton, Mahopac,
Rhinebeck, and Valatie, as well as their drive-in movie theater
location in Amenia and the Millerton Inn and Yiannis Hotel in
Chatham.
Four Brothers District Manager Paul
Stefanopoulos concluded, “We’re very excited to be partnering with
an industry leader that shares the same goals and vision as we
do.”
Four Brothers will be participating in a webinar
with Blink, NYSERDA, and National Grid on April 8th to discuss the
experience working with Blink to take advantage of the grants
available in New York for EV charging infrastructure. For webinar
