136 DC fast charging stalls approved or underway in the first 90 days of the year, doubling down on its DCFC Owner Operator focus 

Bowie, MD, May 13, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK) (“Blink” or the “Company”), a leading global owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, today highlighted the strong momentum in its DC fast charging (DCFC) infrastructure expansion during the first quarter of 2026, as the Company continues to deliver on its strategy to expand its owned and operated fast charging sites, supporting long-term, repeatable revenue growth.

As of March 31, 2026, Blink advanced a focused pipeline of DCFC sites progressing across several active stages of development, including 27 sites approved or under construction. Upon completion, these sites are expected to deliver a combined 136 stalls, expanding access to reliable, convenient, fast charging for EV drivers.

Included among the completed sites is the recently installed high-powered DCFC site at Vasa Fitness in Lafeyette, Colorado, offering 600kW total capacity with up to 360kW peak per stall. Additionally, this list includes two 180kW dual-port DC fast chargers at Morganton Plaza in North Carolina, and two single-port DC fast chargers in Brooklyn, New York. The approved pipeline includes planned sites throughout New Jersey, Maryland, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Florida, and further expansion in North Carolina.

“DC fast charging is central to how we are building Blink for the next decade and beyond, and we are energized by the pace of progress we’re seeing across our pipeline,” said Mike Battaglia, President and CEO of Blink Charging. “We are moving with focus and discipline, deploying capital intentionally and strategically on high-quality sites, and building infrastructure designed to drive utilization and meet the growing demands of EV drivers.”

As additional DCFC sites come online, Blink expects its expanding network to drive higher utilization and continued growth in service revenue, which the Company reported rose 25% year-over-year in Q1 2026.

With a streamlined cost structure and debt-free balance sheet, Blink is focused on scaling its DCFC footprint and expanding access to fast, convenient charging through a deliberate, strategic approach as it progresses through the remainder of 2026.
