Blink Charging ‘delighted’ by DOT’s new charging infrastructure program

Michael D. Farkas, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Blink Charging Co. made a statement on the U.S. Department of Transportation’s creation of the new Charging and Fueling Infrastructure program. Farkas said that "Blink is delighted to support the Biden-Harris Administration and DOT in their announcement yesterday of the newly established Charging and Fueling Infrastructure (CFI) program, that will provide $2.5 billion to cities, counties, and local governments for community charging programs. We support the Administration’s push toward reliable electric vehicle charging, nationwide, and believe that Level 2 chargers at the community level are an essential and economical way to ensure equal access to all Americans." Farkas continued, "Blink manufactures our NEVI compliant Level 2 chargers in Bowie, Maryland, where we are expanding manufacturing capabilities. We stand ready to work in partnership with states and local communities as they apply for this funding to provide local charging capabilities for everyday citizens. We applaud the Administration’s new standards for a Made-In-America National Network for Electric Vehicle Chargers and look forward to seeing more charging access and equitability nationwide."
