Miami Beach, FL : Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq: BLNK, BLNKW) (“Blink” or the “Company”), a leading owner, operator and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, announced today that it has signed an agreement with leading global real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield (NYSE: CWK) for the marketing and potential deployment of Blink charging stations, including its Blink IQ 200 units, and related services to Cushman & Wakefield clients throughout the United States.
Cushman & Wakefield has agreed to engage its brokerage force and large network of property managers to offer Blink equipment and services as an amenity at the commercial properties they represent. Given the reach of Cushman & Wakefield’s platform, this agreement represents a significant opportunity for Blink to strengthen the sales channel for its products and services and increase its deployment opportunities.
