Kempower and Blink Charging Launch 14-Site EV Charging Expansion Across the U.S. East Coast in 2026
Kempower, a global provider of DC fast‑charging solutions for electric vehicles, today announced an expansion of EV charging sites involving Blink Charging Co, a leading global owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services. The expansion includes 14 sites in total, with two locations already operational and additional sites set to roll out across multiple states along the U.S. East Coast throughout 2026.
The sites will be in high-traffic areas near convenience stores and will feature Kempower Power Units and Kempower Satellite fast chargers. Blink referenced the reliability and uptime of Kempower technology as key factors in selecting Kempower charging systems.
"Reliable charging infrastructure depends on more than the equipment itself. The training we’ve received through Kempower has helped our teams approach installation and commissioning with confidence and consistency,” said Senior VP of Global Business Engineering at Blink Alex Calnan. “That foundation shows up in smooth deployments and strong long‑term site performance.”
Two sites — Vasa Fitness in Colorado and Idaho Falls in Idaho — have already opened. The Vasa Fitness site marked the installation with an Earth Day promotion last month, inviting EV drivers to enjoy free charging and promotional credits for a limited time.
“Kempower technology is designed to deliver reliable, scalable, and user-friendly fast charging, and the new sites with Blink showcase how high-performance infrastructure can seamlessly support drivers’ everyday routines," said Kempower VP of Markets and Products Jed Routh. "There is a lot of exciting work ahead with Blink as we work together to make sustainable transportation more accessible for everyday drivers.”
