Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ:BLNK) announced Wednesday the integration and rebranding of recently acquired SemaConnect India to Blink following its acquisition in June 2022.
“This is another milestone in the advancement of Blink’s global footprint. We are excited to have Blink Charging India as part of the Blink family and look forward to continuing across the APAC region with the Blink brand,” said Michael D. Farkas, Founder and CEO of Blink Charging. “As e-mobility continues to grow around the world it is necessary that we are meeting the unique charging needs of drivers and property owners and Blink Charging India will help meet those needs.”
The move follows Blink’s announcement of the company’s Series 3 product, designed specifically for two and three-wheeled EVs.
