The new agreement empowers local agencies to acquire Blink’s state-of-the-art EV charging equipment for locations across the county, with the chargers being supplied by Blink and owned by Metro.

Blink says this award showcases the company’s proven track record of successful collaboration with government agencies to develop and expand much-needed EV infrastructure nationwide. Following the competitive RFP, Blink stood out due to its extensive industry experience and background in working with municipalities around the world, implementing EV infrastructure where drivers need it most.

The Nashville region has become a hotbed of EV development as new facilities continue to be built. The area has also experienced a remarkable surge in the number of EVs, with approximately 13,000 registered EV drivers in the county, and this number is continuously rising. This growth, coupled with the county’s own commitment to transitioning to sustainable transportation, prompted the RFP to accommodate the rapidly growing EV charging needs of both residents and visitors.

Nashville and Davidson County will soon be the home to Blink Charging’s MQ200 and IQ200. The MQ200 is the ideal versatile solution to assist in managing fleets or multiunit locations with a fast 50-amp output and effortless user experience, paired with a robust new charger portal for maximum control. Blink’s IQ 200 chargers are the fastest Level 2 AC charging stations available, producing 80 amps of output, providing approximately 65 miles of charge in an hour.
