The Blink Charging Network & Platform
Blink Charging is one of North America's largest EV charging networks, with tens of thousands of chargers deployed across commercial properties. When you partner with Gulfstar, your investment connects seamlessly to this proven, scalable ecosystem.
National Blink Network
Your stations join Blink's coast-to-coast network, making them discoverable to millions of EV drivers through the Blink app, PlugShare, and in-vehicle navigation systems.
Blink Owner App
Manage your entire charging portfolio from one intuitive dashboard. View real-time session data, revenue reports, and station health across all your locations.
Real-Time Usage Monitoring
Track every charging session live — kWh delivered, session duration, revenue earned, and driver identity — giving you complete operational visibility 24/7.
Access Control
Restrict charging to authorized users, employees, or tenants via RFID cards, the Blink app, or network-level access lists — keeping your amenity exclusive.
Rate & Pricing Management
Set custom pricing per kWh, per minute, or per session. Offer free charging as a tenant perk, or capture revenue from public drivers — you control the economics.
Cloud-Connected & OTA Updates
Every Blink commercial charger is cloud-connected with over-the-air firmware updates, ensuring your hardware stays current without on-site service calls.
