However, buses and other government vehicles will need chargers.

Great read! Thank you for posting!
This probably isn’t going up as fast as we all thought it would from here.

[bobst2003]

Even Telsa on the way down...

Very informative and discouraging since I bought some shares the other day. The DOW went up today and BLNK sank to 35. I have a solution to this problem which is a 300 mile long electruc cord stuffed and coiled into the vehicle trunk.

Figured out what's happening.

Business Insider
1 in 5 electric vehicle owners in California switched back to gas because charging their cars is a hassle, new research shows

Roughly 20% of electric vehicle owners in California replaced their cars with gas ones, a new study shows.

The main reason drivers made the switch was the inconvenience of charging.

The findings suggest new challenges facing the growth of the nascent electric vehicle market.

See more stories on Insider's business page.

In roughly three minutes, you can fill the gas tank of a Ford Mustang and have enough range to go about 300 miles with its V8 engine.


But for the electric Mustang Mach-E, an hour plugged into a household outlet gave Bloomberg automotive analyst Kevin Tynan just three miles of range.

"Overnight, we're looking at 36 miles of range," he told Insider. "Before I gave it back to Ford, because I wanted to give it back full, I drove it to the office and plugged in at the charger we have there."

Standard home outlets generally put out about 120 volts of power at what electric vehicle aficionados call "Level 1" charging, while the high-powered specialty connections offer 240 volts of power and are known as "Level 2." By comparison, Tesla's "Superchargers," which can fully charge its cars in a little over an hour, offer 480 volts of direct current.


That difference is night and day, according to a new study published in the journal Nature Energy by University of California Davis researchers Scott Hardman and Gil Tal that surveyed Californians who purchased an electric vehicle between 2012 and 2018.

Roughly one in five plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) owners switched back to owning gas-powered cars, in large part because charging the batteries was a pain in the… trunk, the researchers found.

Of those who switched, over 70% lacked access to Level 2 charging at home, and slightly fewer than that lacked Level 2 connections at their workplace.

"If you don't have a Level 2, it's almost impossible," said Tynan, who has tested a wide range of makes and models of PEVs over the years for his research.

Even with the faster charging, a Chevy Bolt he tested still needed nearly six hours to top its range back up to 300 miles from nearly empty - something that takes him just minutes at the pump with his family SUV.

Public charging stations may look like the electric version of the gas station, but nearly two-thirds of PEV drivers in the survey said they didn't use them. Exactly why they didn't use the public stalls was not specified.

EVs have come a long way in recent years in terms of range, safety, comfort, and tech features, but Hardman and Tal note that very little has changed in terms of how they are recharged.

The researchers warned that this trend could make it harder to achieve electric vehicle sales targets in California and other countries, and the growth of the market overall.

"It should not be assumed that once a consumer purchases a PEV they will continue owning one," Hardman and Tal wrote. "What is clear is that this could slow PEV market growth and make reaching 100% PEV sales more difficult."

Fixing the charging issue will require more participation from automakers, who have yet to find a profitable way of producing electric cars. Even Tesla, easily the leader in the category, was only able to eke out a first-quarter profit by selling energy credits and bitcoin.

"For all those legacy automakers, that profit and loss piece does matter. And that's why you're getting this half effort on electrification," Tynan said.

[Glider549]

Yep.
CHPT also had a good day.
All EVs need chargers and all truckstops, cities, etc will need them.

Same with CHPT.
But it doesn't ping pong.
Oh well, I have both, one I hold and the other I ping pong.

[Cat dog]

Yep it will move up. Got to be in it to win it !!!!

[Glider549]

And back to playing ping pong with BLNK.
I sold at the Close yesterday, bought back cheap at today's Open.
Never fails with this stock.

[Cat dog]

Loading here and loading at CRGE use Blnk chart and you will see it’s rival do the same. Car chargers need to plug into something USA will need a lot. Blink and rivals will benefit the 2 Trillion stimulus infrastructure plan

Exactly

[Glider549]

Buy back BLNK on tomorrow's dip.
I own both.
EVs are growing by leaps and bounds.
Don't forget about the lithium required.

[Cat dog]

Sick well I loaded CRGE just incase not missing out on a run like Blnk. Amazing rite. Well someone at some time is going to have to produce lots of power cord stations for all theses cars. It’s amazing. GL

[Glider549]

BLNK gets a new contract every week, or two, then after the spike, people freak out and dump it as it BLNK will never rise again.

[Cat dog]

BLNK fast Look @ CRGE same chart currently @3 bucks will do same to @42

[KeepitGreen]

Ford is in a partnership with Rivian. EvGo is in partnership with Rivian, and more.

[Timetravelerdos]

The plan calls for modernizing 20,000 miles of roadway; building 500,000 electric-vehicle charging stations;

[Timetravelerdos]

The Infrastructure bill has $400 Billion for Clean Energy! Go BLNK !!!!!

[Timetravelerdos]

Just heard on Varney that money from the Next stimulus will include money for EV charging!!! Let's go Blink!! Get some of that stimulus money!!

[Timetravelerdos]

Motley is a bunch of shorters. BLNK will continue to grow with the GREEN focus in the USA and the world!

[pcjockey]

btw, Motley Fool says that BLNK is heavily shorted and should be avoided.

I've actually found it to be a decent day trade.

[pcjockey]

And Rivian is a private company, so what's the point? Sounds like an intentional dis to BLNK.

Interesting article on Seeking alpha

https://seekingalpha.com/news/3674195-blink-charging-rival-rivian-creating-more-than-10000-ev-charging-stations

not sure if the detail as it seems to contradict itself.

Why are they dedicated to Rivian vehicles only yet "The charging stations are open to any EV driver using the J1772 plug and offer 11.5 kW charging speed."

Why would Colorado's 42 State parks want a high speed charging capability for Rivian vehicles - who is driving them there?

BLNK needs to start a campaign for true shared network charging and get the message out that residential and commercial sites are open to all.

[Dabdouberson]

Company does 4m a year in revenue and is valued at 1.5 Billion
No wonder its tanking

[Dennisb68]

The way this stock trades it a great flippers stock. Stock still well below it's 52 week high.
