Blink Charging Launches EnergyConnect System for EV Sites
Platform launching first at 13 Blink-owned DC fast charging locations in Florida.
Blink Charging has launched a new energy management system called EnergyConnect designed to help EV charging operators maximize capacity using their existing electrical infrastructure.
What Happened
EnergyConnect provides real-time visibility and control over how energy is used at charging sites. The platform enables operators to monitor energy usage through live metrics and analytics, automate load management with dynamic balancing that adapts to demand, manage charger groups from a single dashboard, and set site-level load limits with optional daily or weekly scheduling. Blink will initially deploy the system at 13 company-owned DC fast charging locations in Florida before rolling out across more sites in the US, UK, and Belgium. Future planned features include utility integration, demand response functionality, and support for battery storage and solar panels.
Why It Matters
For EV charging operators, upgrading electrical infrastructure is among the largest capital expenses when expanding networks. Energy management systems that optimize power allocation could allow operators to add more chargers or increase output at existing locations without costly grid upgrades. Blink CEO Mike Battaglia said the platform holds potential to save Blink and its customers thousands of dollars on electricity costs.
The Bottom Line
EnergyConnect represents Blink's effort to squeeze more charging capacity from existing electrical infrastructure, potentially lowering expansion costs for operators managing multiple sites.
