Okay but could be better

I’ve been using the app for the last 3 weeks, it’s very slow and it doesn’t recognise the chargers on the nearby chargers however I could find them on the map! The app does take a while to register and start the charge but once charging it’s okay!! The app doesn’t load the receipts and if you click download it would throw you out the app!! It defo need some software updates

Oh my God

This app is barely functional. Unfortunately as I live in Brighton, UK I have no choice but to use it. Two main problems for me. Firstly, it always insists that there are no chargers nearby - even when I am standing next to one. You manually have to type in the charger ID to check in. Secondly it never shows any charging info - I.e. how much charge it has delivered. The display has a gauge that suggests it is supposed to show something but it doesn’t for me. Please developers, sort this out!

Overcharged!

Update January 2025: Blink have overcharged me for the third time, billing me for a charging session amounting to more kWh than my car’s battery can physically store. They ignore customer service emails and I am now reporting to Trading Standards. Whether completely incompetent and understaffed, or scammers, it amounts to the same thing.

****

One of the most expensive networks in the UK for lamppost charging. Hiked prices when wholesale prices went up and barely reduced them when they came right down again. Pricing not transparent and often doesn’t reconcile with the charge time you instructed in the app. Have offshored their customer services so response times are slow and call quality is awful. Rarely reply to emails. Only positive is that I can usually initiate a charge, which seems better than a lot of reviewers.

Response from developer

Good afternoon, Thank you for contacting Blink Charging. World events and ongoing volatility and uncertainty regarding energy prices have pushed the global cost of energy to record levels. Even as energy levels appear to stabilise, there is still much uncertainty regarding the future of energy prices and the consistency of supply. As a result, we have taken the difficult decision to increase our prices. As always, we continue to work to keep these prices competitive. We endeavour to send out communications of any price increases prior to the event which can be found on our social media platforms of choice or alternatively via our Blink Charging App. Also, here is a link to Brighton's webpage for more info: https://www.brighton-hove.gov.uk/news/2023/price-change-electric-vehicle-charging If you have any further questions or feedback, or need help using our network please call us on 0330 111 0076, or email support@blinkcharging.co.uk.

EV charging in Brighton

Blink have appalling customer service. The App has logged me out several times on my iphone. I can’t reinstate my password and email even having deleted and reinstalled app, said forgot password to reset, no luck. Blank page. The phone call help says they will escalate issues to the app developers and they will contact. They don’t. The council have allowed this company to dominate the lamppost charging here. I’m bailing out of EV lifestyle as a result. BTW- Best charging location is with IONITY never a problem with app or a fast charge.

Useless

Often doesn’t work. So many other issues often to do with the chargers not communicating with the car, the app has been broken for a long time and the support are robots and give you exactly the same answer every time. So disappointed that in 2024 the blink network is so badly run and maintained. No upgrades, slow charging, handful of bays and beholden to an app that doesn’t work. Meh.
