Charging Company Opens Global Headquarters in Maryland

BOWIE, Md. — Blink Charging Co., one of the nation’s fast-growing makers of electric vehicle charging devices, celebrated the grand opening Monday of its 15,000 square-foot global headquarters in Bowie, Maryland.

The site, along with a new, 30,000 square-foot LEED Gold-certified manufacturing site located within Melford Town Center, is intended to reduce the geographic spread of the company — which previously did business from five different locations across the U.S. — while expanding its overall manufacturing capability.

“Blink Charging is proud and excited to be establishing our global headquarters and production facility in Maryland, marking a pivotal moment in our journey toward a greener future,” said Blink president and CEO Brendan Jones in a written statement 

“We are committed to implementing innovative technology and manufacturing processes to enhance efficiency, capability and output speed while maintaining quality standards. We thank the state of Maryland for welcoming us and we are excited to be here,” he added.

The grand opening of the two facilities was attended by White House National Climate Advisor Ali Zaidi, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, and several other federal, state and local dignitaries.

The company is hoping its new location will help it leverage new and existing contacts in Washington, D.C.

Blink’s current manufacturing facility produces around 15,000 EV charging units annually. When the new facility is completely built-out, it expects its production capacity to top 50,000 charging units.

“We are thrilled to welcome Blink’s headquarters to the great State of Maryland,” Moore said during the grand opening ceremony

“This decision not only affirms our commitment to climate action but also supports our efforts to create new job opportunities and enhance Maryland’s competitiveness. Together, we will meet our goal of achieving 100% clean energy by 2035 and we will ensure that climate justice drives economic justice,” Moore said.
