Bulbs.com Now a Distribution Partner for SemaConnect Electric Vehicle Chargers

BOSTON, Sept. 27, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Bulbs.com, the online authority in LED lighting for businesses, announces a distribution agreement with SemaConnect, a Blink Charging Co. (Nasdaq: BLNK, BLNKW) and a leading manufacturer of electric vehicle chargers for commercial, residential and fleet applications. Bulbs.com sought a partner that could afford them an opportunity to better service their customers and connect them with the right EV products. SemaConnect is that complete EV solutions partner that provides innovative, elegantly designed charging stations, a robust and open network platform, and an unparalleled charging experience for both drivers and station owners.

The addition of the electric vehicle charger category has allowed Bulbs.com to expand its product offering to their vast commercial customer base, as well as the residential customers that come to Bulbs.com for lighting, fire safety products, batteries, air quality equipment and more. The rising demand for electric vehicle charging products from those customers has been reflected over the first two quarters of 2022 – in Q1 EV charger category sales increased by 106% versus Q4 of 2021, and again showed significant growth with an increase of 378% in Q2 versus Q1. The EV charger category brings similar potential to what the company saw with LED lighting several years ago, before LED adoption ramped up and the energy efficient technology gained popularity with the masses. "Our partnership with SemaConnect brings together two companies with an understanding and focus on commercial customers; the Bulbs.com team is excited to move ahead and work with SemaConnect on this generational opportunity," says Mike Connors, CEO of Bulbs.com.

SemaConnect has been a notable contributor in the early success of the electric vehicle charger category at Bulbs.com. With uniquely designed stations, smart engineering and software controls to maximize uptime, and a truly open user network with robust tools for measuring and collecting valuable data, property owners and managers can find unsurpassed value in SemaConnect EV solutions. Bulbs.com has quickly built a strong working relationship with SemaConnect so they can continue to satisfy the growing demands for EV charging products from its customers.

"As a growing number of businesses prepare to meet the needs of their EV driving customers, they're looking to trusted partners for reliable electric vehicle charging solutions," said Tony Sargent, Senior Vice President of Sales at SemaConnect. "SemaConnect's distribution partners like Bulbs.com are essential to the national rollout of Level 2 and DCFC stations." 

Bulbs.com has several years of experience and established relationships with utility rebate programs throughout the United States. The company has assisted thousands of businesses in taking advantage of rebates and incentives for energy efficient lighting projects. Now those same commercial customers will be able to tap into the incentives available for installing EV chargers at their facilities. As early leaders of EV charging technology, SemaConnect continues to develop the charging infrastructure required to make electric vehicle charging accessible, and they have a shared vision with Bulbs.com in its belief of creating shared value for utilities and customers alike.
