Using Mobile App to Find a Blink Charging Station
Driving electric in the NYC metro area? The Blink Charging app makes planning your charging routine easy, efficient, and reliable.
1. Download & Set Up
Get the Blink Charging app from the App Store or Google Play. Create an account or log in to access alerts, payment methods, and charge history.
2. Discover Stations Nearby
Allow location access or enter a ZIP (e.g., 11201 for Downtown Brooklyn, 10019 for Midtown Manhattan). The dynamic map displays all Blink locations across NYC, from Manhattan to Jersey City.
3. See Real-Time Availability
Map pins show green = available, gray = occupied/offline. Tap any station to get live updates: number of ports, availability, and estimated wait.
4. View Exact Pricing
Every station’s rate is visible before you charge—typically billed per kWh or per hour, depending on local regulations. Blink-owned stations list consistent pricing, while host-owned locations may vary and detail these via the “Rate” section.
5. Start Charging with Ease
Tap Start Session, scan the charger’s QR code or manually enter its ID. Payment processes automatically using your saved method or Blink membership.
