Bowie, Md., Nov. 19, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK) (“Blink” or the “Company”), a leading global manufacturer, owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, has announced its relationship with Tower Management Service L.P. (“Tower”). This collaboration is well underway and includes the completed installation of 53 state-of-the-art EV charging stations at 12 Tower locations throughout New Jersey.
This initiative aligns with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection’s (NJ DEP’s) commitment to sustainability through the “It Pay$ to Plug In” program, which provides grants to offset the cost of purchasing and maintaining electric vehicle charging stations. The program is designed to expand New Jersey’s growing network of electric vehicle infrastructure, allowing residents, businesses, and government agencies to purchase and drive electric vehicles. NJ DEP’s grant award was supplemented by additional funding provided by Volkswagen.
With this collaboration, Tower has strengthened its dedication to a more sustainable future by promoting electromobility and providing environmentally friendly solutions for its New Jersey communities. The installation of Blink EV charging stations allows Tower residents to enjoy a sustainable lifestyle without sacrificing convenience.
Equipped with Blink’s Series 8 Level 2 EV Charging Stations, these sites offer efficient charging capabilities and a seamless user experience. Additionally, the Blink Network’s cloud-based software allows users to manage their charging sessions effortlessly.
"By installing these Blink charging stations, our aim is to enhance our sustainable service and amenity offerings for residents at our New Jersey properties, while aligning ourselves with the growing need for EV infrastructure and electromobility trends,” said Jon Schiavo, Tower’s President.
“We’re excited to be working with Tower Management to bring our charging technology and services to these future-focused, cleantech-ready communities in New Jersey,” said Mike Battaglia, Chief Operating Officer and CEO-Elect at Blink Charging. “These are New Jersey Apartment Communities already known for offering a variety of resident-friendly amenities, and providing EV charging opportunities to the communities takes the living experience to the next level.

This collaboration not only boosts Tower’s sustainability initiatives but also provides residents with reliable, advanced EV charging solutions for drivers’ evolving mobility needs.”
