Blink Charging (Blink), a global manufacturer, owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, has entered into a strategic collaboration with Create Energy (Create), a Tennessee-based renewable energy company, to deliver energy management products and solutions. This alliance will allow customers to integrate their energy assets through one centralized platform.
According to Blink, the collaboration combines the strengths of both companies to offer a comprehensive “one-stop-shop” for renewable energy solutions tailored specifically to the commercial and industrial (C&I) market. By offering a unified solution, the collaboration reduces overall project costs through streamlined procurement and integration, cutting administrative and logistical expenses while leveraging the efficiencies of both companies’ technologies. This includes leveraging Create Energy’s suite of products and services, including solar panels, battery energy storage systems, transformers, switchgear, and engineering, procurement, and construction services. Businesses in supply chain logistics, convenience store management, automotive, commercial real estate, and other sectors can now integrate Blink Chargers with Create Energy’s offerings.
“At Blink, we prioritize creating a best-in-class customer experience, so it made sense to take our customer relationships to the next level of convenience and team up with Create Energy to provide a full renewable energy stack offering,” said Jim Nemec, Blink’s chief revenue officer. “This innovative collaboration with Create Energy will provide customers with state-of-the-art EV charging infrastructure coupled with Create’s ecosystem of products. This exemplifies how two like-minded organizations can come together in a symbiotic way to challenge the status quo of renewables.”
“This collaboration between Create Energy and Blink is blazing a new path for the industry, leaving old tech in the dust,” said Dean Solon, Founder, chief executive officer, and president of Create Energy. “It’s two fearless US-based renewable companies joining forces to offer cool next-generation microgrid solutions. The EV sector is hungry for innovative American-made technologies, and Create’s proprietary NanoGrid solution is transforming C&I renewable energy projects. With this alliance, customers will benefit from peak demand reduction and energy independence by using Blink’s top-tier chargers and Create Energy’s products. This is another rocket we are launching into the renewables space.”
The companies have already begun deploying their products and integrating their solutions for C&I customers, including leading Tier 1 automotive providers.
