The facility will enable Blink to expand its production capacity to over 50,000 charging units annually.
"This new facility will enable Blink to increase domestic manufacturing operations, replacing previous overseas production. Maryland will serve as the assembly site for Blink’s Series 6, Series 7, and Series 8 L2 chargers," the company says.
Blink has designated Maryland as its central hub, saying it wishes to leverage its proximity to Washington, DC to expand its market presence.
Blink has now deployed nearly 85,000 charging ports worldwide. The firm says it is seeing strong demand for its products and expects full year revenues for 2023 of $140mn, a significant increase on the $61.1mn revenues it saw in 2022.
