Blink MQ200

Blink MQ200 is a Level 2 home EV charger from Blink with up to 50 A (12 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 23 ft cable, networked smart charging.

Our take

The networked counterpart to Blink’s stripped-down 50 A unit, and connectivity costs it: 3.07 W at idle versus 0.96 W for the non-networked sibling, though that still lands below the 3.47 W class median. Output is the full 12 kW on a 65 A circuit, about 42 miles of range per charging hour, with a 23-foot cable two feet under the class norm. Worth comparing directly against the cheaper non-networked version — the hardware differs mainly in the radio.
