Bowie, Md., July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  (NASDAQ: BLNK) (“Blink” or the “Company”), a leading global owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (EV) charging equipment and services, has collaborated with Universal Media to launch the EV Totem concept – an advanced combination of Blink’s innovative EV charging solutions with elevated, dual-sided digital media displays, redefining EV-integrated media experiences.”

The EV Totem units are installed and are now available to drivers at Mountain View Village, a high-traffic retail and lifestyle destination in Salt Lake City, Utah, marking the first step in Blink and Universal Media’s joint strategy to expand EV Totem installations to additional high-traffic locations.

For businesses, brands and marketers, EV Totem offers potential opportunities for additional revenue streams and powerful tools for community interaction.
