We are excited to announce our new SemaConnect Electric Vehicle charging stations! These EV charging stations can charge all electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles and safe, reliable, and easy to use.
FBCG is partnered with Blink to provide electric vehicle (EV) chargers on site. The stations are AC Level 2 charging stations. The Level 2 charging stations can charge electric vehicles at 7.2kW to 19.2kW and 30-80amp at 240VAC at any commercial application. Level 2 charging stations use roughly the same amount of electricity as a home clothes dryer.
The maximum time to charge a vehicle is 2 hours. You must move your vehicle from the charging station parking space after 2 hours. A $5.00 per hour penalty fee will automatically be charged if a vehicle is charging after two hours. The vehicle is also subject to ticketing and towing at the owner’s expense.

The chargers are located on the south exterior wall of the Ministry Center’s sanctuary.
The cost to charge a vehicle is $1.00 per hour. The max charge time is 2 hours. A penalty fee of $5.00 per hour will automatically be charged after 2 hours of charging. The vehicle is also subject to ticketing and towing at the owner’s expense.
You can contact Blink by calling (888) 998-2546.
Blink Level 2 charging stations use the North American standard electric vehicle charging plug known as the SAE-J1772. This plug is compatible with all commercially available battery electric vehicles (BEV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV) available in the North American market.
Tesla drivers can charge at Blink stations using a Tesla to J-1772 or Tesla to CCS adapter. Please refer to your Tesla owner’s manual for more information on using adapters.
Blink utilizes an intuitive LED light system to make it easy for drivers to check station status.
The charging times for electric vehicles can differ based on charging station amperage, battery size, and on-board charger. For example, to charge a Chevy Volt PHEV from empty to full battery, utilizing a 240V outlet would take roughly 4 hours, while charging a Nissan Leaf BEV can take 8 hours.
However, just as you are unlikely to drive a gas vehicle to a completely empty tank, many people are unlikely to drive their EV to a completely dead battery. If you are charging a battery that is not empty, your charging times will be shorter. Generally, you will get an average of 25 to 40 miles of range per hour of charging time when you use a Level 2 charging station.

Electric vehicle range varies depending on the size of the battery, the type and weight of the car, road and weather conditions, driving style, and ancillary usage, such as running the air conditioning or charging your cell phone. Please refer to your vehicle manual to determine how much range you have.
No, violators are subject to ticketing and possible towing at the owner’s expense.
