On October 6, 2025, Blink Charging UK Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ: BLNK), announced that the West Yorkshire Combined Authority (WYCA) has selected it to deliver a £1.410 million electric‑vehicle charging infrastructure project across the region. The contract will deploy 716 Blink chargers—including Standard (3.7 kW–8 kW), Fast (8 kW–49 kW), and Rapid (50 kW–149 kW) units—over a 15‑year term with the five district councils of Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees, Leeds, and Wakefield.
The initiative is partially subsidized by the UK government’s Local Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Pilot Fund (LEVI), which supports the installation of public chargers near homes lacking off‑street parking. Beginning later this year, Blink will install the chargers, providing a mix of charging speeds to meet diverse driver needs and supporting the Combined Authority’s net‑zero carbon target by 2038.
This contract represents a significant expansion of Blink’s UK footprint and a long‑term revenue source, as the 15‑year agreements secure recurring service income from the 716 chargers. The project also reinforces Blink’s strategy of partnering with local authorities to accelerate EV adoption, aligning with its broader goal of building a high‑margin, owner‑operator network worldwide.
