Blink charging co. announces installation of 30 electric vehicle (ev) charging stations in the newly renovated miami beach convention center (mbcc)

Blink charging co. announced the installation of 30 electric vehicle (ev) charging stations in the newly renovated miami beach convention center (mbcc). the city of miami beach deployed the fastest available, level 2 charging stations in the mbcc as a part of their sustainability initiatives which include an expansion of their ev station network together with blink. the transportation sector accounted for almost 20% of miami beach’s greenhouse gas (ghg) emissions in 2017. one of the city’s strategies to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions within the transportation sector is to promote the use of electric vehicles. electric vehicle usage assists in helping the city’s efforts to mitigate climate change through reducing ghg emissions, while simultaneously reducing pollution and improving public health. according to the international energy agency, the number of evs on the road will surpass 125 million by 2030, creating demand and opportunity for the deployment of ev charging stations worldwide. however, building the infrastructure and increasing the number of ev charging stations is crucial to the expected widespread adoption of evs. the blink ev stations are located in the property’s parking garage, split onto three floors, with seven dual pedestals on the fourth floor, six dual pedestals and two single pedestals on the fifth floor, and two wall-mounted chargers on columns in the loading dock, creating a total of 30 chargers with designated spots for ev drivers. the blink iq 200 chargers are the fastest level 2 ac charging stations available, producing 80 amps of output, ensuring they are suitable for the advances in battery technology found in new electric vehicles. the charging stations operate on the blink network and are capable of charging any battery-electric or plug-in hybrid vehicle, offering ev drivers easy access to faster charging. the addition of the charging equipment at the convention center speaks to the facility’s environmental commitment to reduce the impact of climate change. in alignment with the city’s sustainability initiatives, the mbcc design also includes reducing the building’s energy consumption by 20%. the mbcc has been designed to achieve leed silver certification through the installation of condensed flow water fixtures, high efficiency led lighting, light sensor, sun shading on the exterior, the ev charging stations, and more.
