Blink's 56,000 US charging ports to gain plug-and-charge via Emobi partnership

Blink Charging has partnered with Emobi to enable plug-and-charge functionality across its network of 56,000 EV charging ports in the United States. The integration will allow drivers to authenticate and pay automatically without using apps or RFID cards. Electrek reported the announcement, which aims to streamline the charging experience for users of Blink's public infrastructure.

Why it matters: Plug-and-charge adoption reduces friction at public chargers, a key factor in site utilisation and driver satisfaction that influences CPO revenue and future procurement decisions. The rollout across a major US network signals growing interoperability standards that procurement teams should expect when evaluating hardware and software vendors.
