Car Charging Group has reached an agreement with the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County in Tennessee for the operation and maintenance of 27 Blink EV charging stations.
These Blink Level II chargers were deployed in association with the U.S. U.S. Department of Energy's EV Project and ECOtality, the former owner of Blink-related assets, according to a release issued by the company.
CarCharging, which is recognized as the largest owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging services, owns and operates the 27 Blink EV chargers.
"Once again, we have completed a transfer of existing Blink chargers to a CarCharging operating agreement, allowing us to provide the necessary service and maintenance for these stations," said Michael D. Farkas, CarCharging's Founder and Chief Executive Officer, according to the release. "I'd like to personally thank Nashville and Davidson County for their support for EV adoption and continued interest in aiding the Blink Network to expand."
Chargers are available a number of different locations around Nashville and Davidson County, including Centennial Park, the East Community Center, the Historic Courthouse Parking Garage, Shelby Nature Park, and the Nashville Public Library.
Blink Level II chargers are able to recharge electric cars, and accept payment with the Blink InCard or any major credit card through the Blink Network website, Blink's mobile application, or Blink's customer support center.
