Blink Charging Powers Up South Florida with New EV Charging Stations!

Hallandale Beach, Florida, USA - In a decisive move towards sustainable infrastructure, Blink Charging Co. has been chosen by Accesso to enhance electric vehicle charging capabilities across South Florida. This agreement marks a significant step for the local commercial real estate landscape, with new Level 2 (L2) chargers set to be installed at two prominent properties: the Sawgrass Lake Center in Sunrise and the Atrium at Broken Sound in West Boca.

The Sawgrass Lake Center boasts an impressive 240,000 square-foot footprint as a Class A office facility, while the Atrium spans 100,000 square feet and features a mixed-use environment. Blink will be responsible for installing, owning, and operating Series 7 L2 chargers at both sites, promising to cater to the burgeoning number of electric vehicle (EV) drivers in the area. Chris Carr, Senior Vice President at Blink, expressed excitement about supporting Accesso’s commitment to corporate sustainability, an initiative echoed by property managers Kevin Bretz and Mayra Reig who emphasized the importance of convenient EV charging for tenants and visitors alike.

Emphasis on Sustainability

But what does this mean for the broader community? Blink Charging is not just about installing chargers; they are deeply invested in sustainability practices. According to their corporate principles, sustainability is a multifaceted approach that encompasses not only environmental stewardship but also social responsibility and ethical governance practices. Their commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) ensures that they deliver financial, environmental, and social benefits while exceeding legal requirements. Blink’s dedication to integrating Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards illustrates the company’s comprehensive approach to sustainable growth.

In fact, Blink has implemented an ESG Committee that oversees their sustainability efforts, ensuring that anti-bribery and corruption measures are in place and that employees are trained to uphold these values. They adhere to the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) Code of Conduct, which underscores their focus on labor rights, environmental responsibility, and ethical sourcing. Blink operates Integrated Management Systems in its Indian and UK facilities, showcasing certifications that reflect their commitment to quality and safety standards.

Aligning Business with Charging Infrastructure

How exactly does EV charging fit into the larger picture of ESG? Investing in EV charging infrastructure is becoming crucial for businesses aiming to align with sustainability principles. As noted by PlugFlare, this investment can significantly reduce carbon footprints while promoting social justice and environmental stewardship. Companies can create an attractive workplace culture by offering EV charging as a perk, which not only demonstrates corporate responsibility but also helps in attracting and retaining talent.

Moreover, businesses collaborating with local communities can raise awareness about the benefits of EVs, enhancing their role in promoting broader societal goals. The integration of smart charging solutions can also maximize energy efficiency and minimize the pressure on the electrical grid, making these initiatives financially viable and environmentally friendly.

With the rising demand for electric vehicles, those businesses investing in such charging infrastructure are not merely keeping up—they are preparing to lead in the upcoming sustainable economy. The collaboration between Blink Charging and Accesso highlights a step forward not just for the properties involved but for South Florida’s commitment to a greener, more equitable future.
