How to Use a Blink Charging Station

Charging your electric vehicle with the Blink EV charging network is straightforward, with several convenient options available:
 
  • ChargeHub or Blink Charging Mobile App: This is the most convenient option. Download one of these apps and use it to find stations, initiate charging, and make payments.
  • Blink Membership Card: For a traditional approach, you can get a free Blink membership card. Simply tap the card on the charger to start your session
  • Pay-by-Phone (Series X Chargers Only): Some of the newer Blink stations (Series X) offer a pay-by-phone option. Follow the instructions on the charger to initiate charging with your phone.
  • Credit Card Reader (Limited Availability): A limited number of stations are equipped with a credit card reader. While convenient, using a credit card will trigger a temporary hold of $10-$40 on your account. This hold typically clears within 2-3 business days, but some banks may take up to 10 days. To avoid this hold, consider signing up for a Blink membership with automatic top-up.
