So I haven't had any problems with my original (old) home Blink charger for at least the last 6 months. Yesterday I change my credit card information on the Blink website. I immediately notice I've been charged $75 on the new credit card without doing anything but changing the number. I don't analyze the situation well and immediately call the Blink customer telephone number and ask them why they did that. Well, after giving the analyst all of my Blink charger information and talking it out with them it probably makes sense that they are testing the card with a "pending" $75 charge that will be taken off in the next couple of days (checked tonight and still pending...)
Well tonight I go out to plug in the Leaf and the Blink is frozen on the setup touch calibration screen. It won't do anything. Deader than a doornail. I unplug it for 30 minutes and reset the breaker. Nuttin'! :x
It got me to stewing! :evil: This can't be a coincidence. Has anyone else had a situation similar to this where they wonder if Blink is intentionally sending signals to their older models to destroy them? Could be because the costs of repairing them are so high and/or it may be because they think they might get a few suckers to purchase their new model. I'm hoping that it is just a failure in a software update, but I doubt it. In any instance, a product that costs that much should last longer than 2.5 years.
BLINK! If you are reading this, I WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER Blink PRODUCT AS LONG AS I LIVE!!! I will be destroying my currently useless Blink home charger, cancelling my account, and shred every last evidence that I ever had anything to do with your product. I will also intentionally make it my mission to find any charging station other than Blink when I am out and about on the town.
Good riddance!
