Trump to visit Fed on Thursday amid Powell feud, renovation probe
SALT LAKE CITY - Blink Charging Co. (NASDAQ:BLNK), a $119 million market cap EV charging infrastructure company whose stock has surged 24% in the past week, has partnered with Universal Media to introduce EV Totem, a new charging station concept that combines electric vehicle charging with digital advertising displays, according to a press release issued Wednesday. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company maintains a strong liquidity position with more cash than debt on its balance sheet.
The first installations are now operational at Mountain View Village, a retail and lifestyle center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The companies plan to expand the concept to additional high-traffic locations. With annual revenues of $109 million and a healthy current ratio of 2.15, Blink Charging appears well-positioned to fund its expansion plans.
The EV Totem features dual 55-inch high-definition digital displays positioned seven feet above the ground, allowing visibility even when vehicles are parked for charging. The units include real-time, location-based advertising capabilities and integrated analytics.
"Together, we’re transforming the EV charging experience to a dynamic media and mobility platform — bringing relevant content to drivers while they charge," said Mike Battaglia, President and Chief Executive Officer of Blink Charging.
Todd Cohen, Co-founder and CEO of Universal Media LLC, described the EV Totem as designed to "deliver value for drivers while unlocking new opportunities for brands, property partners, and communities."
The concept aims to provide businesses with potential additional revenue streams through the digital advertising component while offering EV charging services to consumers.
