IKEA, the world’s leading home furnishings retailer, today officially plugged-in three Blink electric vehicle charging stations at its Dallas-area store as part of its partnership with Car Charging Group.
To charge an EV at IKEA Frisco, drivers pull into a designated parking spot, tap their Blink InCard (RFID card) to the reader below the screen, plug the charger into the EV, and then shop and eat at their leisure in the IKEA store while the vehicle is charging.
This initiative represents the tenth such project for IKEA in the United States, with installation underway at seven other locations.
In total, completion of the units currently planned will bring the total number of Blink charging stations available at IKEA locations to 55.
