Blink Charging Partners with Porsche to Expand EV Charging Network in Mexico

The Porsche Destination Charging Program is designed to offer owners of fully electric and plug-in hybrid Porsche vehicles convenient access to charging stations located at high-end destinations, including hotels, restaurants, golf clubs, and marinas. The collaboration with Blink Charging aims to extend this network to Mexico, providing drivers with a reliable charging solution while they enjoy their leisure activities.

Camilo San Martín, Director of Porsche de Mexico, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, “Thanks to our collaboration with Blink Charging, we are expanding and strengthening the public charging network with faster and smarter stations, thereby enhancing our users’ charging experience.” He highlighted the initiative's role in promoting electromobility and reducing emissions, emphasizing the commitment to offer more charging solutions to Porsche customers.

As part of the Porsche Destination Charging Program, clients will enjoy several perks, including free charging sessions, a complimentary Blink RFID card, and a 35% discount at all other Blink Charging locations. In addition to these benefits, participating locations hosting the charging stations will receive a percentage of the charging revenue, creating a win-win scenario for both Blink and the establishments involved.

Under the agreement, Blink Charging will own, operate, supply, and maintain the chargers, ensuring a seamless experience for users. The company will also provide essential services such as site assessment, preparation, installation, maintenance, repair, parts, supplies, warranties, and product training—demonstrating Blink's commitment to a comprehensive service model.

Mike Battaglia, President and CEO at Blink Charging, remarked, “We’re excited to be working with Porsche to bring our cutting-edge charging technology and services to these travel destinations in Mexico.” He emphasized that hospitality destinations are vital in enhancing EV accessibility in Latin America, and this partnership plays a pivotal role in driving the acceptance and progress of EV technology.

The new charging stations will feature Blink’s IQ200 chargers, which offer efficient charging capabilities with a power capacity of up to 19.2 kW. In addition, the Blink Network's cloud-based software will provide users with an effortless way to manage their charging sessions, further enhancing the user experience.

The launch of these charging stations is set for March 2025, aligning with Blink Charging's broader goals of promoting sustainable energy solutions. By partnering with Porsche, Blink is not only expanding its footprint in Mexico but is also contributing to the growing movement towards electric mobility and sustainability in the automotive industry.

The partnership between Blink Charging and Porsche represents a significant advancement in the EV charging landscape in Mexico, catering to the needs of high-end consumers while promoting sustainable practices. As the electric vehicle market continues to expand, initiatives like this will play a crucial role in shaping the future of transportation and energy consumption.
