The short answer
The registry records EV Charging Session as a possible interpretation of BLINK CHARGING CO. This descriptor-to-company association has not passed claim-level evidence review. Compare the exact line, amount and posted status with your own receipt or account activity; the name alone cannot confirm the merchant or whether you authorized the payment.
The notes below are unreviewed registry explanations, not confirmation of merchant identity, authorization or current policy. Claim-level source review is pending for this entry.
Charging on the Blink Network
Unreviewed registry note: A statement charge labeled BLINK CHARGING CO is billed by Blink Charging Co., a national electric vehicle charging network operator. This entry indicates an EV Charging Session conducted at one of the company's public Level 2 or DC fast-charging stations. Blink equipment is situated in parking structures, hotel garages, retail centers, and municipal curbsides across North America. When you plug in an electric vehicle and initiate a session, Blink processes the payment directly against your card.
Unreviewed registry note: If you tapped or swiped a physical credit card at a Blink kiosk, the line item might initially display as a temporary pre-authorization hold between $15 and $50. Banks post this hold to verify available credit before energy flows, and it typically settles to the actual dispense cost within three to five business days. To inspect individual receipts, log in to the Blink Charging app or your online profile at blinkcharging.com. If your vehicle was disconnected prematurely due to a station fault, or if you were billed an idle fee in error, Blink support can review the charger logs using the station ID and issue an account credit.
Account Balances and Holds
Unreviewed registry note: When you pay with a physical credit or debit card directly at a Blink station, your financial institution places a temporary pre-authorization hold on your account. This hold usually ranges from $15 to $50 to reserve charging funds. Your bank adjusts the charge down to the exact session amount once the transaction finalizes.
Unreviewed registry note: For registered drivers using the Blink app, charges often represent a prepaid wallet top-up rather than a single session. Blink automatically debits your card to restore your account balance when it drops below the required minimum threshold. You can review your transaction history, download tax receipts, and adjust auto-reload preferences anytime through the member dashboard at blinkcharging.com.
