History
Founded in 2008 by entrepreneur Mahi Reddy, SemaConnect quickly emerged as a key player in the development and production of smart networked Electric Vehicle charging stations and EV software. The organization's process started with the send-off of the ChargePro 620 version and the SemaCharge software in 2008, making way for a very long-term obligation to propel the EV infrastructure.
SemaConnect's impact extended geographically, with 150 ChargePro charging stations strategically deployed in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. In 2011, a pivotal partnership with 350Green paved the way for the installation of 1,500 charging stations across the U.S., reaching prominent retailers like Walgreens and Simon Properties. The company's vision and growth were further underscored in July 2015 when it secured $15 million in funding, earmarked for expanding its electric car network and enhancing customer support services.
A standout feature of SemaConnect's offerings was the ChargePro charging station, utilizing the North American standard SAEJ1772 connector for Level 2 charging. Tailored for commercial properties, including municipal, parking, multifamily, hotel, office, and retail locations, the ChargePro featured single or double-head units and optional cable management systems.
SemaConnect's commitment to innovation extended to its payment solutions, leveraging MobileNOW for EV charging payments via cell phone with the Charge Pro. Additionally, the company collaborated with PlugShare (under company Recargo) technology to provide diverse public charger payment options.
The turning point for SemaConnect occurred in June 2022, as Blink Charging announced the acquisition of the Maryland-based company in a substantial $200 million stock and cash deal. Mahi Reddy, the founder and CEO of SemaConnect, assumed a pivotal role by joining Blink's board of directors.
On June 23, 2023, Blink Charging initiated a seamless migration process, integrating all existing SemaConnect customers and infrastructure onto its network during scheduled maintenance. This transition led to the permanent closure of the SemaConnect app and website. By June 25, 2023, Blink Charging proudly declared the successful completion of the migration, welcoming existing SemaConnect customers onto its network. This strategic move not only marked a momentous chapter in Blink Charging's history but also signified a unified and expanded vision for the future of EV infrastructure under the Blink Charging umbrella.
