Now, the company has revealed its latest innovation—a cutting-edge DC fast-charging model designed specifically to accommodate the NACS connector.
The newly introduced Blink Dual-Port CCS and NACS charger boasts an impressive 240-kW charging power, made possible by the inclusion of both CCS1 and NACS connectors. Additionally, the charger incorporates advanced silicon carbide power electronics, which significantly enhance efficiency. With a focus on speed and ease of installation, this compact charger is set to revolutionize the charging experience for electric vehicle owners.
CEO and President Brendan Jones had this to say about the new charger:
“The development and installation of DC fast chargers continue to grow. The technology is ideal for highway use or when drivers need the convenience of a faster charge time to keep on schedule. Our new Blink DC Fast Charger, providing both CCS and NACS connectors, is the perfect solution for any EV on the market.”
Although the charger is currently in the final stages of design and development, Blink Charging has assured customers that it will be available for ordering in the near future. Once the design is perfected, the company plans to submit the charger for UL certification, ensuring its compliance with safety standards.
While specific details regarding the cost and precise availability of the new charger were not provided by Blink Charging, the company remains committed to delivering a top-tier level 2 charging solution. Industry experts predict that with the increasing dominance of CCS and NACS in the North American market, Blink’s innovative charging solution is poised to gain popularity among electric vehicle users seeking efficient and reliable charging options.
