Blink Charging Co., an owner, operator and provider of electric vehicle charging equipment and services, has signed an exclusive seven-year agreement with Lehigh Valley Health Network to own and operate charging stations across the health network's locations, according to a press release.

The agreement allows Blink to deploy EV chargers across LVHN's hundreds of health care facilities, including hospitals, health centers, physician practices, rehabilitation locations, ExpressCARE sites and other outpatient care locations throughout Pennsylvania. Under this agreement, Blink will own and operate the charging stations.

The deployments began with the first Level 2 fast-charging stations at Lehigh Valley Hospital Cedar Crest in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Six additional chargers are scheduled to be deployed in 2020 at LVH-Muhlenberg, and six at its soon-to-open LVH-Hecktown Oaks campus in early 2021. The remainder of the initial 219 chargers will be deployed in 2021.
