FAQs
Which vehicles can use the Blink IQ 200 Level 2?
All EVs and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) that adhere to the SAE J1772 charging standard can use the IQ 200. Always check the charging port on your car before using it.
What is Level 2 charging, and how fast does it charge?
Compared to typical Level 1 (120V) charging, Level 2 charging offers up to 9.6 kW (40A, 240V) for faster charging. Depending on your car’s internal charger, it can add 20 to 30 miles of range each hour on average.
Can I monitor charging remotely?
Indeed. You may monitor energy usage, start and stop charging, and get alerts about charging issues or status using the Blink app.
Can I schedule charging sessions to save on electricity costs?
Indeed. You may automatically lower electricity expenses by scheduling charging during off-peak hours with the Blink app.
What happens during a power outage?
The charging station will shut off on its own. Restart charging through the app or station.
Can multiple vehicles charge at once?
Every car needs a specific charging station of its own.
