Blink Charging Co. and the City of San Antonio announced the installation of first publicly accessible Blink EV charging station. The first deployments at the San Antonio Zoo are part of a comprehensive EV program to advance the city’s climate action and air quality goals. The unique public-private agreement between Blink and the city allows for the deployment of 202 Level 2 charging stations and 3 DC fast- chargers throughout the city, furthering the city’s Electric Vehicle San Antonio Program (EV-SA). The Blink chargers were funded, in part, through the state-wide Texas Volkswagen Environmental Mitigation Program (TxVEMP) through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The $10.4 million fund is tasked with deploying Level 2 charging across Texas to make EV charging accessible and improve air quality. In addition to the deployments already completed at the San Antonio Zoo, Blink is currently working to deploy five additional sites in the coming weeks.
