Does blink charging work with any electric car?
I want to get an electric car, but I heard you can only charge electric cars at a charging station owned by that company. There’s a Blink charging station near me, and that would work a lot better than any other station. Does Blink charging work with any electric car?

Great question! Blink IQ 200 charging stations should work with almost all North American electric vehicles.
Most electric vehicles sold in North America have cross compatibility. That means that you can charge them at most charging stations, regardless of which company owns and operates the charging station.
So if you buy a Chevy Bolt, you should be able to charge it at just about any charging station, without needing to charge it at a specific Chevy charging station near you.
This means that Blink, a rapidly expanding EV charging company, is a great option to charge your electric car when you’re on the go. Their
charging stations
are compatible with almost all North American vehicles and plug types for electric vehicles.The exception that proves this rule is
Tesla
. As we all know, Tesla enjoys being one of a kind. Their plugs are a little different than the standard used in most other electric cars, and in order to use a Blink station, you’ll need to go directly through Tesla to get an adapter that lets you use the J1772 plug used by Blink charging stations.If you’re an electric car driver you can charge up your vehicle with Blink’s charging stations, regardless of your car’s make and model.
Whether your car runs on gasoline or electric power you always need insurance.
