How EVs Charge Your Sustainability Strategy

Blink Charging

The National Renewable Energy Laboratory states in one report , “The emissions benefits of workplace charging increase as the carbon intensity of the grid is reduced. ones that burn coal) still see a significant amount of emissions from workplace EV charging. These gases are then given a value in the form of carbon credits.
