Your next Blink EV charging station session might have an added fee.

The company is rolling out a new $0.49 “access fee” starting with select stations and adding more over time. The fee will apply to each charging session. Host-owned chargers can add an additional fee on top, if desired. Blink says it will continue to offer its membership with no monthly subscription fees.

“We prioritize transparency, cost management, and ensuring that any fee changes are clearly communicated to both drivers and station hosts.”
Blink’s email to customers announcing the new fees.
