Blink Announces USPS Contract; Releases New Mobile EV Charger via insideevs.com
aimed primarily at roadside assistance companies. The freestanding charger was basically a gasoline-powered generator with an integrated Blink level 2 charger attached. The unit could deliver 40-amps and charge an EV at up to 9.6 kW.
Last week, Blink introduced its second-generation gasoline-powered mobile charger that is smaller and considerably lighter , which makes it easier to move around when needed. It is, however, less powerful than the previous model and can now deliver only 32-amps, which is 7.7 kW. Pricing hasn't been revealed as of yet.Blink advertises:"The mobile charger can deliver up to 1 mile of charge per minute", but at 7.
The charger can run for 5 hours continuously without filling its 6.1-gallon gas tank at its peak delivery output of 32-amps. It comes with a 23-foot cable and J1772 connector so it can charge any electric vehicle sold in North America including Tesla vehicles with a J1772 to Tesla adapter. The unit can either remain non-networked or be networked via Wi-Fi. The non-networked configuration allows roadside assistance companies without authorization and the networked configuration allows EV drivers to pay to charge from it through their Blink account and pay for the electricity received.
While using a gasoline generator isn't the ideal setup for mobile EV charging, there's definitely a need for this type of equipment. Personally, I'd prefer to see battery-powered mobile chargers and I believe that will be the future of mobile charging. However, I can definitely understand why roadside assistance vehicles might prefer this solution, at least until battery-powered units like these are smaller, lighter, and less expensive.
