Blink Charging Mobile App

This app did work for me, but it was a slog to use. Why is the map view so slow and stuttery, for example, and why does it need to redraw the annotations every time you move even a tiny bit? I’ve written iOS apps using the map API before and I know it’s not hard to do it better than this app.

My success rate with blink is about 20% making easily the worst charging experience this far. When the screen even works, the QR codes on the terminal link to a dead site. The app says connected but won’t start a charge. Sometimes it starts working later other times I have to give up. You’ll get non-charging fee notices several hours after you’ve disconnected. On top of this, you need to preload money. And blink chargers are so rare, that money just sits for weeks.

Used this charge station yesterday and obviously left after ~1hr now over 24 hrs later I’m getting this message indicating I’m about to be charged when I’m not anywhere near this charge station! “ Your charge session is complete, but your EV is still plugged in and charger occupancy fees will now begin. Please unplug and move your EV so that other EV drivers may use the station.”

I just brought a Nissan leaf 2015 I’m so great full for the blink charger’s They really help me.

Great new State of the art charger
