Practical Notes: EV9 on Blink Charging
The EV9's NACS+CCS port plugs directly into Blink Charging's CCS stalls without an adapter. Check the Blink Charging app before your first session to confirm which connector your target station uses — mixed-connector deployments are common in 2026.
On a session-by-session basis, the EV9's 240 kW peak charging speed exceeds what Blink Charging's Level 2 hardware can deliver. You'll be limited by the car's onboard AC charger (11 kW), so a full charge takes roughly 7h 15m. L2 is best for destination or overnight charging, not road-trip pit stops.
Cost-wise, one $35.13 full charge on Blink Charging represents $0.12 per mile of driving — about 11.6¢/mile. A gas equivalent at 30 mpg and $3.50/gal is roughly 11.7¢/mile, so this charging session is still cheaper than gas. Over 15,000 miles/year, exclusive reliance on Blink Charging would cost roughly $2,166.71/year in fuel — a meaningful delta compared to mostly-home charging (~$812.52/year).
For most EV9 owners, the realistic use-pattern for Blink Charging is road trips and occasional top-ups — not primary fueling. If you live in an apartment or condo and rely on public charging as your main option, factor in the $4.99/month Blink Charging membership (drops your rate to 29¢/kWh). For regular home charging in a specific state, check our home vs public analysis and your EV9 state-by-state breakdown.
