As the electric vehicle (EV) charging industry undergoes major restructuring across Europe and North America, Blink Charging has stepped up to support thousands of Everon customers left adrift by EVBox’s shutdown. Following EVBox’s decision to exit its AC hardware and Everon software operations, Blink Charging is taking the lead in ensuring continuity, stability, and innovation in EV charging infrastructure.
The Collapse of EVBox: A Shock to the EV Ecosystem
Once a major player in EV infrastructure across the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, and the U.S., EVBox faced €800 million in cumulative losses, forcing parent company Engie to announce the full liquidation of the EVBox group in October 2024. The shutdown left countless charging station hosts without clear support or service continuity.
To ease the transition, Everon recommended Blink Charging as the preferred successor, entrusting them with the customer base built over years of deployment.
Blink Charging’s Swift, Customer-First Transition Plan
Blink Charging (Nasdaq: BLNK) responded immediately, assuring Everon customers that they are “here to help them navigate this transition”. With a mix of operational know-how and scalable infrastructure, Blink is offering:
- Expert evaluation of current EV charging setups
- Maintenance and technical support for existing hardware
- Upgrade options to Blink’s future-ready chargers
- Fast delivery and shipping to minimize downtime
Whether customers manage large networks or a few local stations, Blink Charging Everon transition plans are tailored for uninterrupted service.
Blink Network: Real-Time Control and Business Insights
At the heart of Blink’s offering is its proprietary Blink Network portal, accessible via app or desktop. The portal allows hosts to:
- Monitor charger status and energy usage in real time
- Set flexible pricing for charging sessions
- Generate downloadable performance and revenue reports
- Manage users and access control efficiently
This digital backbone gives Everon customers a significant upgrade in analytics and operational transparency.
Future-Ready Chargers With V2G Capabilities
Blink’s infrastructure isn’t just replacing old hardware—it’s future-proofing EV charging. Their chargers are engineered to support Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology, enabling two-way energy flow. This innovation allows EVs to feed power back into the grid, stabilizing electricity demand and opening up new revenue opportunities for hosts.
“Our technology is built with the future in mind,” said Alex Calnan, Blink’s Managing Director of Europe. “We’re ready for what’s next.”
Broad Reach and Deep Expertise

- Apartment complexes, commercial parking lots, and workplaces
