Infrastructure Partnerships Analyst

Blink won a partnership to supply and manage EV charging across Karbon Homes' ~34,000 social housing units, expanding its U.K. footprint.

Blink will act as the EV collaborator for Karbon Homes, which owns and manages approximately 34,000 homes, providing EV charging hardware, managed services and training for staff and residents. This creates a recurring service relationship model where Blink supplies equipment, oversight and portfolio-level management for domestic and commercial chargers across Karbon’s development, asset, facilities, property services and fleet teams.

Delivery depends on successful operational rollout, staff and resident training, and integration with Karbon’s existing sustainability measures such as solar PV, heat pumps and battery storage. Risks include typical implementation hurdles: installation coordination across many properties, resident access and ongoing maintenance responsibility; none of these are quantified in the announcement so outcomes remain outcome-contingent.

Concrete items to watch include the scale and timing of installations, any disclosed commercial terms or procurement volumes, and evidence of completed site deployments and training sessions; monitor these developments over the next 6–18 months for signs the partnership moves from agreement into measurable installations and recurring service revenue.
