Blink Charging Expands EV Stations in Antwerp, Mechelen

Blink Charging Co. is expanding its electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure in Belgium through an ongoing collaboration with Group Bernaerts, a leading office property company. Currently operating 88 Blink chargers in Antwerp and Mechelen, Group Bernaerts plans to double this number to at least 176 by the end of 2025, with installations both underground at office buildings and above ground near highways and event venues to maximize usage beyond office hours. The partnership addresses previous operational challenges from tenants independently installing private charging stations, utilizing Blink's management platforms designed for multi-tenant environments to optimize parking space and charging utilization. Usage of existing Blink chargers on Group Bernaerts properties has been strong, with kilowatt-hours charged tripling annually. Separately, Blink Charging announced its acquisition of Zemetric, a startup specializing in intelligent, scalable EV charging solutions for fleets and high-utilization sites, enhancing Blink’s product portfolio and leadership team. This move aligns with Blink's goal to build a smarter, more connected charging ecosystem while steering towards profitability.
