Blink Charging

Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq BLNK) operates the Blink Network of Level 2 and DC Fast electric vehicle chargers across North America and Europe, alongside brands acquired via SemaConnect, Blue Corner, BlueLA, and Envoy. Blink's charger hardware (Series 7/8/9) is OCPP 2.0.1 certified for CSMS interoperability, and in 2025 Blink joined Hubject's Intercharge eRoaming platform as a charge point operator using the OCPI protocol so third-party e-mobility service providers can route drivers and billing to Blink stations. Blink also runs a gated BlinkMap API developer program (station locations, hours, and live network status) and a Blink Fleet platform that partners such as Presto and BetterFleet integrate with via API for fleet charging, sessions, and billing. None of these programs currently publish a full public self-serve API reference; access requires signing up directly with Blink.

Blink Charging publishes 3 API contracts indexed on the APIs.io network: Locations API, Search API, and Status API. Tagged areas include EV Charging, Electric Vehicles, Charging Stations, OCPI, and OCPP.

Blink Charging’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, product news, engineering blog, and 6 more developer resources.

Distinct Operations 3 / 3

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Telecommunications regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics does not apply to this provider. The published contracts declare no write operations, and a read-only API cannot create-or-update. The facet is excluded from this provider's denominator entirely — not scored zero. A reference or data API is not deficient for being unable to upsert.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Markets this provider is in provisional

The Kin Score Market layer reads a provider inside its market: its position, and how deep its integrations go. Depth is only comparable within a position. Provisional and unweighted: not part of the Kin Score or agent readiness.

Market	Position	Depth	Registered MCP server	Declares compatibility
EV Charging (charging, roaming, e-mobility)	undeclared	-	-	-
LF Energy Projects and Members (grid, DER, EV charging open source)	undeclared	-	-	-

Registered MCP server and declares compatibility are report only — not weighted. Undeclared means we found nothing we can read, so there is no number: we never infer integrations.

Standards implemented 2

Standards this provider implements or carries. De facto ones are profiled and measured by the API Commons; formal ones come from the standards directory and are linked by the provider's own tags. The evidence column says how each claim was established — not that it was made.

OCPI

tagged — the provider's own APIs.json carries the standard as a tag; implementation not verified

OCPP

tagged — the provider's own APIs.json carries the standard as a tag; implementation not verified
