Announcement Summary

Korian Belgium, a provider of elderly care, has entered into a partnership with Blink Charging for a nationwide electric vehicle charging project in Belgium. The goal is to install over 200 Blink chargers across 90 locations in the Korian network, with a similar expansion planned for Korian Netherlands.

Investment and Operation Model

Blink’s fully funded investment model allows Korian to add EV infrastructure without upfront costs. Blink will be responsible for the installation, operation, maintenance, and customer support, while the sites generate recurring revenue for Korian.

Who Benefits

The chargers will serve employees, residents, visitors, and the general public. Charging points are already operational at several Korian nursing homes and headquarters.

Next Steps and Goals

A similar rollout is planned for Korian Netherlands. Blink aims to have the majority of the Belgian network installed by the end of 2026.

Key Statements

Chris Carr, Blink’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Business Development, highlighted that the combination of smart charging technology, simple user authentication, and 24/7 support seeks to deliver a high-quality experience across all locations.

Dominiek Beelen, CEO of Korian, stated that the partnership reinforces the shared mission of bringing more convenience to families, employees, and communities near Korian facilities.
