EV charging equipment company, Blink Charging Co (NASDAQ:BLNK) announced Thursday that they have signed an agreement with automotive service organization AAA to become a preferred supplier. By entering into this strategic agreement, Blink gains the opportunity to provide top-tier electric vehicle charging products and services to AAA service providers associated with them. As a result, the collaboration broadens the scope of EV charging solutions accessible to drivers and AAA members who require them.

Michael Battaglia, Chief Revenue Officer for Blink Charging, expressed the importance of this collaboration, stating, “We are thrilled to cooperate with AAA, enabling clubs and service providers to build a robust EV charging infrastructure using Blink’s extensive line of products and solutions.” As EVs become increasingly commonplace, there is a growing demand for charging services along with roadside assistance. Teaming up with AAA presents a great solution, and Blink is excited to offer AAA’s EV members the same level of exceptional service and reliability that AAA has been synonymous with for over a century.”

Initially, this program will benefit 19 AAA clubs and affiliates spanning across more than 60,000 locations nationwide. These entities will experience notable cost savings through a simplified ordering process and favorable pricing options. Additionally, the program equips roadside assistance providers with advanced tools to effectively cater to EVs, enhancing their service capabilities.

“AAA is proud to have been serving members for over 120 years. During this time, road service has remained the main reason for membership growth; this may be attributed to the association’s ability to evolve along with technology and changes within the automotive space. Today, EVs play a pivotal role in the changing automotive industry, and AAA is thrilled to welcome Blink as a Preferred Supplier providing roadside EV solutions to our members”, says Cliff Ruud, Automotive Managing Director at AAA, Inc.

Shares of BLNK are down 2.22% in afternoon trading on Thursday.
