The agreement will see Blink Charging and the City of Alameda collaboratively identifying sites and installing public charging solutions for residents and visitors to the area. The partners are targeting installations to begin this year.

Phase 1 of the agreement will include the deployment of 13 Level 2 and DCFC ports across four locations in Alameda. Phase 2 will add 34 more ports, contingent upon available funding and the aligned priorities of Blink and the city, to be installed at publicly accessible charging stations throughout the city.

The exact number of chargers and locations is subject to adjustment. Blink is working with Alameda officials to identify and deploy critical EV infrastructure throughout the city.

Additionally, Blink says it will provide related services such as site assessment and preparation, installation, maintenance, repair, parts and supplies, warranties, and product training.

“We’re excited to be working with the City of Alameda on this project to bring the community convenient EV charging solutions,” said Mike Battaglia, Blink’s president and CEO. “Alameda was looking to partner with a reliable charging solution that could potentially service the entire city portfolio. As the need for chargers in Alameda continues to grow, we look forward to working with the city to develop additional sites. It’s rewarding to have a direct role in reducing emissions and contributing to energy independence while enhancing the EV driver experience in Alameda. We are grateful for the city’s trust and our shared vision.”
