Blink looks like they finally pulled the plug on many of their sites today. These appear to be mostly 50kW CHAdeMO only units that haven't worked for months (possibly due to cellular connection issues) and I suspect they are finally removing them. So expect to see a lot of "Permanently Closed" stations today.
 
I don't think I've ever used a Blink charger, but I've seen one at the local CarMax (but not on the customer parking side, so I couldn't try it).
 
I wonder what this is about (I received this via email today):

I have only used their level two. Some in interesting locations out in the middle of nowhere, far from others, where we need more of them, IMO, such as here.

I received the same email today.

7-10 days ago a whole rash of Blink stations went offline in the system (actually they were removed from AFDC). I have not marked them as temporarily closed as it definitely seemed like a glitch. It may be related to this, in which case I have to ask why it took them so long to notify their customers.
