What Blink is known for

Blink (Blink Charging) is an integrated EV charging equipment and services company that designs Level‑2 AC chargers and DC fast chargers for commercial, fleet, residential and public charging deployments. Buyers typically choose Blink for its networked charging stations, flexible mounting and accessory options, and product families optimized for controlled commercial installations.

Main product families and technologies

Blink’s product lineup for North American Level‑2 charging is organized by series (for example Series 6, Series 7, Series 8) and by power class (48A vs 80A configurations, dual vs single port). Blink’s commercial models are offered in pedestal and wall‑mount configurations and are available with universal J1772 connectors and optional NACS compatibility. Higher‑end Series 8 models include integrated payment hardware and ISO 15118 hardware readiness. The company publishes spec sheets and product manuals for each Series to document electrical ratings, connectivity and installation requirements.

Common accessories and mounting equipment

Common Blink accessories sold alongside chargers include:

  • Cable management systems (single and dual), cable hangers and CMS mounting kits for pedestals or wall mounts.
  • Pedestals and pedestal mounting kits sized for Series 6/7/8 head units.
  • Wall mount brackets and wall‑mount accessory kits.
  • Anchor plates and small hardware kits used to secure pedestals or wall bracket bases.

Common applications and buyer/contractor use cases

Blink chargers are commonly deployed in retail and convenience sites, municipal and parking authority lots, workplace and corporate campuses, multifamily buildings, hospitality and convenience stores, and fleet depots. Contractors and procurement teams specify Blink units where network management, payment acceptance and OCPP‑compatible backend integration are required. Blink’s Level‑2 units are appropriate for destination and workplace charging; Blink also offers DC fast chargers for fleets and commercial corridors.

How to identify Blink models and accessories when procuring or replacing

Procurement teams should use a combination of identifiers to avoid ordering the wrong product:

  • Series name and model family (Series 6, Series 7, Series 8) — primary identifier on spec sheets.
  • Amperage / power configuration (48A vs 80A) — determines per‑port power and breaker sizing.
  • Port count (single vs dual) and connector type (J1772, NACS).
  • Cable length (common catalog options: 18 ft, 25 ft, 48 ft) — critical for reach planning.
  • Mount type (pedestal vs wall mount) and accessory SKUs (CMS, anchor plate, pedestal mounting kit).
  • Manufacturer part number or SKU shown on the unit label or purchase documents.

How Safsale helps buyers confirm models and place correct orders

Safsale product listings combine images, titles, spec excerpts and downloadable PDFs when available, which helps procurement teams verify fit prior to purchase:

  • Images: multiple product views help confirm physical style and connector type.
  • Titles and short specs: listing titles often include Series, amperage and cable length.
  • PDFs and manuals: downloadable spec sheets and installation manuals clarify electrical requirements and mounting hole patterns.
  • Reviews and Q&A: user feedback surfaces field issues such as cable reach and mounting kit fit.
  • Accessory cross‑references: Safsale groups related items so buyers can add required hardware at order time.

Sourcing, replacement and procurement best practices

  • Match the Series and amperage and confirm electrical service and load management.
  • Confirm connector and cable length with field measurements.
  • Order mounting accessories together to ensure compatibility.
  • Use the product manual/spec sheet during installation planning.
  • Record OEM part numbers and serial numbers for warranty and support.

Checklist for purchase orders and RFP language

  • State Series, model, amperage, ports, connector type, and cable length.
  • Specify mounting style and include accessory SKUs as separate line items.
  • Ask vendors to attach manufacturer spec sheets and installation manuals to quotes.
  • Require evidence of OCPP/ISO 15118 compatibility if network interoperability is needed.

Final note: Blink’s Series chargers and mounting/accessory kits are standard choices for commercial and fleet projects. Use the combination of Series identifiers, amperage, cable length and mounting SKU to confidently source the correct station and accessories. Safsale’s listings, images, downloadable PDFs and customer Q&A are designed to reduce ordering errors and speed procurement and installation planning.
