Blink Charging

SEPTEMBER 8, 2023

As the world grapples with the pressing issue of climate change, it is evident that we need swift action to avert its worst impacts. Another study found that if people choose to charge their EVs during times when there’s less demand on the power grid, we could cut emissions by another 18% – and maybe even allow EVs to support the grid.

Decarbonization (or decarbonisation) is reducing the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) released into the atmosphere as a component of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The intent of decarbonization is to reduce the impact of human activity on our planet’s climate in order to slow global warming. Why is Decarbonization Critical?
