My husband is living the Blink nightmare tonight and I have been trying to get what information I can from Blink on his behalf:
Many, (maybe all??) Blink chargers are DOWN. My husband tried to plug in this morning at his usual charging station at UCSD only to find out the charger was not working. He spent 30+ minutes on the phone with someone at Blink who said they were going to reset that station. It didn't happen. He went to the next closest station - same thing, not working, same story from Blink, "we will reset it"; no go. In the end he spent 2+ hours on the phone with Blink until his cell phone went dead. No charge and stranded. He managed to get in contact with me and I'm not as polite as he is and here's the story *I* got after a few unkind exchanges: Another company has bought the charging stations and MANY (if not all???) are now down. Not working. You're screwed. No, we will not pay for his taxi home. Take a bus.
My husband was towed to a dealer and every charger there is full with screwed LEAF drivers who also could not charge on "out of order" Blink stations. I'm furious.
Our Tesla is on order and we cannot wait to never, ever have to rely on unreliable charging stations again.
Just an FYI.
