Blink Network, LLC Series 8
Blink Network, LLC Series 8 is a Level 2 home EV charger from Blink Network, LLC with up to 80 A (19.2 kW) output and a J1772 connector — 23 ft cable, networked smart charging.
Our take
One of the highest idle draws in the entire database: 11.7 W, against a 4.65 W median for the 65-model 80 A class — roughly 102 kWh a year doing nothing, which is real money on a residential bill and a strong signal this is commercial equipment. Output is 19.2 kW on a 100 A circuit with a 23-foot cable. For a home installation the low-standby units in the same class deliver identical charging for a fraction of the idle consumption.
- Best for: High-traffic commercial sites where standby is spread across many sessions.
- Trade-off: About 102 kWh a year at idle — poorly suited to a home garage.
