London, UK, Dec. 12, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Blink Charging UK ("Blink UK"), a subsidiary of Blink Holdings BV, a wholly owned subsidiary of Blink Charging Co., a leading global manufacturer, owner, operator and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, today announced the Company has been awarded a three-year contract to install, maintain and manage 41 electric vehicle (EV) chargers and contactless payment terminals at Kings College NHS Trust's flagship Princess Royal University Hospital.
Beginning May 2025, hospital patients, visitors, and staff will be able to charge their EVs quickly and easily at one of 41 new charging bays and pay seamlessly using one of the new 21 contactless payment terminals.
In the project's first phase, Blink UK will install new chargers in the hospital car park, with 35 located on the ground floor and six on the first floor.
The new chargers are one of a new generation of vehicle-to-grid chargers designed to boost the development and efficiency of an EV charging infrastructure.
21 contactless payment terminals will also be installed at convenient points in the car park and nearby areas, to allow hassle-free payment.
"Blink UK is excited about the opportunity to work with Kings College NHS Trust in an effort to advance sustainable mobility for their hospital patients, visitors, and staff," said Alex Calnan, Managing Director of Blink UK.
Over the course of the three-year project more chargers are expected to be installed at additional sites in the King's College NHS Trust estate. The EV charging installation forms part of Kings' Green Plan, which aims to reduce the Trust's environmental impact through steps including adapting buildings to minimize the impact of climate change and which include providing sustainable travel options for patients, visitors and staff.
The plan forms part of a wider Greener NHS vision around delivering a Net Zero health service.
