Blink Charging UK given ‘Preferred Bidder’ status for 15-year contract

Blink Charging (BLNK) UK has been named the preferred bidder by Brighton & Hove City Council for a 15-year contract valued at over GBP 500,000, for a minimum of 350 chargers to service the region’s EV infrastructure. This will be one of the first contracts to be awarded through the Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Fund and will add hundreds of additional chargers to the more than 400 Blink chargers already operating across Brighton & Hove. The LEVI fund was introduced to help drive the expansion of EV charging networks throughout the UK by supporting local authorities in installing public charging stations. By bridging the gap between national net-zero goals and practical EV adoption, LEVI is designed to make sustainable transport more accessible and convenient for communities across the country.
