These hotel deployments represent the most recent development of the Mid-Atlantic Electrification Partnership to create a regional EV ecosystem in the region. “We’re excited to partner with leading hotels across the Mid-Atlantic region to promote green transportation, accelerate EV charging infrastructure installations, and provide a premium amenity to their guests,” said Michael Battaglia, Blink Senior Vice President. “With Blink’s IQ 200 Level 2 chargers, visitors can have confidence that the region’s infrastructure is convenient and well positioned to meet their charging needs.” “These chargers mark important regional progress providing expanded access to EV infrastructure and technology,” stated Alleyn Harned, Director Virginia Clean Cities (VCC). “We are committed to continuing with the EV charger deployments, a critical part in making green tourism successful in the region.” As the country looks to achieve its national climate targets and reduce transportation-related emissions, building a robust network of EV charging infrastructure in locations where drivers spend considerable amounts of time, such as at hotels and resorts, is critical. The Mid-Atlantic Electrification Partnership, led by VCC, the Greater Washington Region Clean Cities Coalition, and the Virginia Department of Miners, Materials and Energy, brings together a wide range of partners to electrify transportation in the region. This is primarily accomplished by employing EV and infrastructure projects including multimodal hubs, such as hotels, airports, seaports and logistics centers. As a project partner, Blink will install 200 networked Level 2 charging ports throughout the region as part of a three-year ecosystem program. Battaglia continued, “while the majority of EV drivers charge at home, expanding rapid and accessible charging infrastructure for regional trips and decreasing “range anxiety” is central to encouraging further EV adoption. Hotels are a key location for EV drivers to charge outside of the home, and the installation of Blink chargers provides drivers peace of mind while traveling.” Blink’s 8 dual-port IQ 200 Level 2 charging locations include: Virginia
