    Blink let me down BIG TIME today

    Blink let me down BIG TIME today

    Watch your charge card if you use a Blink charger. I parked at Intercontinental Airport for 4 days at the free chargers in Ecopark. When I Parked there this week I couldn't get a code because my membership was suspended for an outstanding bill. I was charged $117 for charging at a free...
