Blink Charging Station
About
Gas stations still line the avenues, but electric vehicles need something different. Blink Charging Station brings quick power to the Upper East Side without the fumes or the pump handles. These spots are becoming common in Manhattan; this one sits where drivers already loop through daily errands.
An electric vehicle charging station doesn’t need a grand marquee—just a reliable outlet and clear signage. You’ll find this unit at 1081 3rd Ave, New York, NY 10065, tucked beside the curb where taxis often idle. The setup handles Level 2 speeds, so a typical sedan can top off while you grab coffee or wait for a prescription across the street.
Payment runs through the Blink app or a contactless card tap, and the network spans the city; this particular stall simply extends that reach into the neighborhood. If the spot is occupied, the map shows nearby alternatives so you’re never stranded. Drivers can plan ahead or call (888) 758-4389 for real-time availability.
Directions are straightforward: pull up the map on your phone and follow the green pin. No membership is required, and the session starts the moment you plug in—no need to hunt for a start button or a hidden keypad.
