Overview
Blink Charging Co., through its consolidated subsidiaries, is a leading owner, operator, and provider of electric vehicle (“EV”) charging equipment and networked EV charging services in the rapidly growing U.S. and international markets for EVs. Blink offers EV charging equipment and services, enabling EV drivers to recharge at various locations. Blink’s principal line of products and services is its Blink EV charging networks (the “Blink Network”) and Blink EV charging equipment and other EV-related services. The Blink Network is a proprietary, cloud-based system that operates, maintains, and manages Blink charging stations and handles the associated charging data, back-end operations, and payment processing. The Blink Network provides fleets, property owners, managers, parking companies, and state and municipal entities (“Property Partners”), among other types of commercial customers, with cloud-based services that enable the remote monitoring and management of EV charging stations. The Blink Network also provides EV drivers with vital station information, including station location, availability, and fees (as applicable).
To capture more revenues derived from providing EV charging equipment and to help differentiate Blink in the EV infrastructure market, Blink offers a comprehensive range of solutions for EV charging equipment and services that generally fall into one of the business models below, differentiated by who owns the equipment and who bears the costs of installation, equipment, maintenance, and the percentage of revenue shared.
- In our Blink-owned turnkey business model, we incur the charging equipment and installation costs. We own and operate the EV charging station and provide connectivity of the charging station to the Blink Network. In this model, which favors recurring and repeat revenues, we incur most costs associated with the EV charging stations; thus, we retain substantially all EV charging revenues after deducting network connectivity and processing fees. Our agreement with the Property Partner typically lasts nine years, with extensions that can bring it to 27 years.
- In our Blink-owned hybrid business model, we incur the charging equipment costs while the Property Partner incurs the installation costs. We own and operate the EV charging station and provide connectivity to the Blink Network. In this model, since the Property Partner incurs the installation costs, we share more of the EV charging revenues with the Property Partner after deducting Blink network connectivity and processing fees. Our agreement with the Property Partner typically lasts seven years, with extensions that can bring it to 21 years.
- In our host-owned business model, the Property Partner purchases, owns, and operates the Blink EV charging station and incurs the installation costs. We work with the Property Partner by providing site recommendations, connectivity to the Blink Network, payment processing, and optional maintenance services. In this model, the Property Partner retains and keeps all the EV charging revenues after deducting Blink network connectivity and processing fees.
We also own and operate car-sharing programs through our wholly owned subsidiary, Envoy Mobility (formerly Blink Mobility). These programs allow customers to share electric vehicles through subscription and on-demand services.
With the goal of being a leader in the build-out of EV charging infrastructure and maximizing our share of the EV charging market, we have established strategic commercial, municipal, and retail partnerships across industry verticals and encompassing numerous transit/destination locations, including shopping centers, airports, auto dealers, healthcare/medical, hotels, mixed-use facilities, municipal sites, multifamily residential, and condos, parks and recreation areas, parking lots, restaurants, retailers, schools and universities, stadiums, supermarkets, transportation hubs, and workplace locations.
In May 2025, we announced the BlinkForward Initiative, a strategic restructuring plan, aimed at accelerating the Company’s path to profitability and enhancing operational efficiency. Key pillars of the BlinkForward Initiative were designed to transform the Company into a more agile and lean organization. This included a significant reduction in our global workforce from 513 to approximately 320 as of the filing of this Annual Report, reductions in other operating, general and administrative expenses, and a shift to contract manufacturing for our EV hardware, to reduce overhead expenses and focus on our intellectual property and customer experience efforts. The transition to contract manufacturing was completed in January 2026, and Blink no longer maintains manufacturing facilities in-house. Additionally, we focused on expansion of our DC Fast Charging (“DCFC”) network through deployment of high-speed chargers in strategic, high-utilization locations. As a part of this focus, we launched a capital raise process and completed a $20 million funding round via the public markets in December 2025.
In July 2025, Blink acquired Zemetric Inc and its subsidiaries (“Zemetric”) which filled identified gaps in our product line related to software-driven fleet management and energy management services, and a lower-cost Level 2 charger hardware lineup. Following the transaction, Harmeet Singh, Zemetric’s CEO, became Blink’s new Chief Technology Officer.
As of December 31, 2025, there were approximately 66,350 chargers connected to the Blink Network. Of those, approximately 58,850 were Level 2 commercial chargers and approximately 1,920 DCFC were commercial chargers, Included on Blink Network is approximately 8,250 chargers owned by us. Another estimated 23,450 units were non-networked, on other networks, international sales, or deployments, which includes public and private chargers, net of swap-outs, replacement units, and decommissioned units. Certain commercial chargers include chargers installed in residential settings for commercial purposes. All chargers, including at all international Blink locations, are categorized based on U.S. Department of Energy guidelines.
As an EV charging station leader, we understand our corporate social responsibility and remain steadfast in our commitment to fostering a cleaner, improved global environment. By prioritizing our environmental, social, and governance initiatives, we consistently enhance our standing within the EV industry as a responsible and value-enhancing service provider within the ecosystem. Upholding sustainable procurement, we are actively aligning with partners who share our vision for societal advancement and uphold ethical business standards. As our technology advances, we are devoted to implementing recycling programs aimed at repurposing older products.
Industry Overview
Electric vehicle adoption continued to expand globally during 2025. According to the Wedbush AutoTech Market Monitor (Q4 2025), approximately 25% of new vehicles sold globally in 2025 were electric, reflecting continued penetration across major automotive markets.
Public fast charging infrastructure expanded materially during 2025. Paren, a specialized EV-charging data analytics platform that monitors approximately 95% of all U.S. DC fast-charging infrastructure in real time, reported in The Paren State of the U.S. Fast Charging Industry Report for Full Year 2025 that 18,041 new DC fast charging ports were added in the United States, representing approximately 30% year-over-year growth. Deployment activity accelerated throughout the year, with 5,769 ports added in the fourth quarter, the highest quarterly total on record. As of year-end 2025, the U.S. had 70,007 public DC fast charging ports. The majority of new deployments were funded by private network operators, with NEVI-funded infrastructure representing approximately 3% of new ports added during 2025. Average nationwide utilization remained stable, with utilization averaging 16.4% in the fourth quarter of 2025, indicating that additional capacity was absorbed without a material decline in utilization. There is wide variation among states, and utilization remained highest in dense metropolitan areas and along major travel corridors.
McKinsey, a global consultancy, estimated in its DC fast charging industry report at the end of 2023 (Can Public EV Fast-Charging Stations Be Profitable in the United States?) that around 20% utilization is required for DC early economic viability and 25% - 30% utilization represents attractive economics.
Network reliability improved during 2025. Paren reported that most U.S. states recorded average reliability levels in the low 90% range, reflecting improvements in hardware performance and maintenance practices. Reliability gains were supported by replacement of legacy equipment and the deployment of newly installed ports with higher baseline performance.
Charging technology continued to advance. New public fast charging deployments increasingly shifted toward higher-power equipment. Paren reported that the share of newly deployed 250 kW and higher power ports increased throughout 2025, reaching 51% of new non-Tesla deployments in the fourth quarter, while lower-power ports represented a declining share of new installations.
Public fast charging prices remained relatively stable during 2025. Paren reported that average prices across most U.S. states ranged between $0.45 and $0.53 per kilowatt-hour. Fixed per-kilowatt-hour pricing remained the predominant pricing model, accounting for approximately 80% of pricing structures nationwide. While pricing varied by metropolitan area, particularly in higher-utilization markets, overall pricing levels remained stable during the year.
Overall, industry data indicate that the electric vehicle charging sector continued to scale during 2025, characterized by increased infrastructure deployment, rising charging demand, improving reliability, higher-power charging capabilities, and stable pricing.
Our EV Charging Solutions
We offer a variety of EV charging products and services to Property Partners and EV drivers.

Competitive Advantages/Operational Strengths
Long-Term Contracts with Property Owners. We have strategic and often long-term agreements that include location exclusivity with Property Partners across numerous transit/destination locations, including airports, car dealers, healthcare/medical, hotels, mixed-use facilities, municipal locations, multifamily residential, and condo, parks and recreation areas, parking lots, religious institutions, restaurants, retailers, schools and universities, stadiums, supermarkets, transportation hubs, and workplace locations. Property Partners include well-recognized companies, large municipalities, government entities and local businesses. We continue to generate new contracts with Property Partners that previously secured our services independently or had contracts with the EV service providers that we acquired in the past.
Vertically integrated platform and IP, with outsourced manufacturing. We are a vertically integrated charging equipment and software provider from design through network operations, and we leverage contract manufacturing partners for hardware production. This model allows us to control product roadmap, software, and customer experience, while reducing fixed overhead and focusing on our intellectual property and operational uptime.
Differentiated but Flexible Business Models. We own, operate and supply proprietary electric vehicle charging equipment and networked EV charging services. We believe that our ability to provide various business models, and to leverage our proprietary technology to meet both Property Partners’ and EV drivers’ needs, is creating a competitive advantage for Blink, which will enhance access to long-term growth opportunities at profitable margins, in the markets where we operate.
Ownership and Control of EV Charging Stations and Services. We own and operate a considerable percentage of our charging stations, which is a significant differentiation between us and some of our primary competitors. This owner-operator model allows us to control the settings and pricing for our EV charging services, service the equipment as necessary, and have more effective brand management and price uniformity. For stations that we do not own, we are making our best efforts to encourage owners to keep the stations operating in good order and, in some cases, to replace faulty stations with our new charging station equipment.
Our Growth Strategy
Our objective is to continue to grow as a vertically integrated and leading provider of EV charging solutions by deploying EV charging infrastructure at mass scale. By doing so, we aim to enable the accelerated growth of EV adoption and the EV industry. Key elements of our growth strategy include:
- Relentless Focus on Customer Satisfaction. Our objective is to increase overall customer satisfaction among new and existing Property Partners and EV drivers. This entails prioritizing charger uptime and availability while expanding and enhancing EV charging infrastructure within densely populated regions of high demand. We are committed to optimizing the productivity and utilization of existing EV charging stations, as well as enhancing the key features of our EV charging station hardware and Blink Network.
- Pursue Strategic Opportunities to Expand Blink-Owned Turnkey and Hybrid Models. We have structured our business to identify and pursue opportunities to develop Blink’s owner and operator business model with locations that have potential for high utilization, where grant or rebate funds are available, and where we can realize long-term benefit for the EV charging location and anchor recurring revenue.
- Continue to Invest in Technology Innovations. We continue to enhance product offerings available in our EV charging hardware, cloud-based software, and networking capability in the U.S. and internationally. Our Networks can serve a wide variety of EV equipment, languages, currencies, and applications, allowing Blink to stay competitive in the fast-moving EV charging landscape. Concurrently, the mobile app creates seamless driver charging experience. Our software implementation allows us to remain technology agnostic to enable the onboarding of Open Charge Point Protocol (“OCPP”) compliant equipment from other manufacturers onto our network.
- Strengthen and Support our Human Capital. Our experienced employees and management team are our most valuable resources. Attracting, training, and retaining key personnel has been and will remain critical to our success. To achieve our human capital goals, we intend to stay focused on providing our personnel with entrepreneurial opportunities to expand our business within their areas of expertise. We will also continue to provide our personnel with personal and professional growth opportunities, including additional training, performance-based incentives such as opportunities for stock ownership, and other competitive benefits.
- Expand Sales and Marketing Resources. We intend to further invest in sales and marketing infrastructure to capitalize on market growth and expand our go-to-market strategy while maintaining a disciplined approach to expenses. We use a direct sales force, as well as maintaining relationships with notable reseller partners and electrical equipment distributors.
- Seek Strategic Acquisition Opportunities. We seek domestic and international acquisition opportunities which are accretive towards our profitability targets, while allowing us to expeditiously expand our footprint of EV charging station locations, product offerings, and Blink Network’s reach.
- Leverage Our Early Mover Advantage. We continue to leverage our extensive and defendable early-mover advantage and the digital customer experience we have created for both EV drivers and Property Partners. Our established network, scale, and software platform enable drivers to transact charging sessions across a single, cohesive network. Blink chargers are deployed across North America, mainland Europe, and the United Kingdom, providing broad geographic coverage and reinforcing network effects that support continued driver engagement and partner adoption.
- Appropriately Capitalize Our Business. We continue to pursue new potential capital sources to deliver critical operational objectives and the necessary resources to execute our long-term growth strategy. The EV charging industry, in general, is undercapitalized to deliver the full potential of expected EV market growth. We expect to retain our leadership position with new growth capital as required.
Sales
Our sales organization builds and maintains long-term business relationships with our customers by utilizing our three core business models, outlined above. These business models provide a high degree of flexibility to match host location goals and objectives for EV charging with our premier equipment and software solutions. Our team identifies locations that have the potential to create long-term, recurring value for the Property Partner and Blink. Sales personnel can pivot to host-owned equipment sales , the hybrid-ownership model or the charging-as-a-service models as a function of our evaluation of whether the location is as a promising generator of future repeat and recurring revenues. The team strives to maintain a balance between equipment sales that grow revenue today, and owner-operator sites at locations that have potential to generate strong repeat and recurring revenues in the future.
We also engage with strategic distributor and reseller partners across a range of vertical markets within the US, mainland Europe, and the UK. These organizations typically have unique relationships or capabilities within their respective markets and provide Blink with additional sales opportunities and market coverage. These partnerships amplify Blink’s sales reach and are authorized to sell our EV charging hardware, software services (connectivity to the Blink Network), and extended warranty service plans.
In 2025, we continued diversifying our global footprint by securing agreements with new customers across public and private commercial sectors. Our expansion into critical infrastructure, including major airport authorities, localities and cities, healthcare networks, and premium commercial hubs, underscores the versatility of the Blink ecosystem and our ability to capture demand in both the municipal and private commercial markets. Along with these new business relationships, we forged critical strategic relationships with organizations that directly or indirectly influence EV charging station purchase decisions.
Our internal marketing team works to promote and sell our services to a variety of vertical markets, and directly to EV drivers. We also utilize marketing and communication channels, including press releases, email marketing, website (www.blinkcharging.com (http://www.blinkcharging.com)), pay-per-click advertising, social media marketing, webinars, sponsorships, and partnerships, advertising, and conferences. Our website’s information is not, and will not be deemed, a part of this Annual Report or incorporated into any other filings we make with the SEC.
We anticipate continuing to grow our revenues by (i) selling our next generation of EV charging equipment to current as well as to new Property Partners across a variety of vertical markets, (ii) expanding our sales channels to wholesale distributors, utilities, OEMs, solar integrators, and dealers, which will include implementing EV charging station occupancy fees (after charging is completed, fees for remaining connected to the charging station beyond an allotted grace period) and subscription plans for EV drivers on our company-owned public charging locations, (iii) adding Blink owned and operated charging stations in locations with increasing utilization metrics, and (iv) offering maintenance and extended warranty programs for our chargers and services.
Our Customers and Partners
We have strategic partnerships across numerous vertical market locations and have hundreds of Property Partners that include well-recognized companies, large municipalities, and local businesses. We strive to engage all Blink-owned turnkey and hybrid property partners with exclusive EV charging contracts. This strategy further supports our owner-operator model to generate repeat and recurring revenue for Blink. We continue to establish new contracts with Property Partners that previously secured our services independently or had prior contracts with EV service providers that Blink has acquired.
Our revenues are primarily derived from fees charged to EV drivers for EV charging in public locations, EV charging hardware sales, Blink Network fees, and sales of equipment warranties. EV charging fees to drivers are generally based on an hourly rate, by energy dispensed per kilowatt-hour (“kWh”), and/or by session. Such fees are calculated based on various factors, including associated station costs, competitive activities, and local electricity tariffs. EV charging hardware is sold to our customers engaged with our host-owned business model. Additionally, we generate revenues from our EV car-sharing program through Envoy, which allows customers the ability to retain electric vehicles through a subscription service.
We are focused on profitable international expansion and have made significant progress at expanding our business outside of North America, focusing primarily on mainland Europe and the United Kingdom.
Our Competition
The EV charging equipment and service market is highly competitive, and we expect the market to become increasingly competitive as new entrants enter this growing market. Our products and services generally compete on product performance and features, the total cost of ownership, quality of customer experience, sales capabilities, financial stability, brand recognition, product reliability, and the installed base’s size. Notable competitors in the US currently include ChargePoint, which manufactures EV charging equipment and operates the ChargePoint Network, EVgo and Electrify America, who offer high-speed DC fast public charging with pay-as-you-go and subscription models, and Tesla. Other companies include Loop, Swtch, Flo, Clipper Creek, StarCharge, Wallbox, Autel, and EV Connect. Many other EV charging companies offer non-networked or “basic” chargers with limited customer leverage but could provide a low-cost solution for basic charger needs in commercial and home locations.
We continue to differentiate ourselves through a flexible, multi-industry approach bridging the gap between essential public infrastructure and private commercial hubs. By offering various deployment configurations, from direct sales to our Owner-Operator and Hybrid models, we aim to provide the right solution at the right price for our customers. This vertical integration ensures that we don’t just sell a product; we own the charging experience. We believe that this “owner-operator” differentiation de-risks our partners’ investment while securing Blink’s position in the global EV ecosystem.
Government Grants
We have a dedicated team that identifies and pursues federal, state and international funding opportunities in the US, mainland Europe and the UK for EV charging infrastructure development. Grants for EV charging infrastructure accelerate the deployment of EV charging infrastructure at the scale needed to accompany the rapid growth in the percentage of EVs in vehicle fleets in the markets in which we operate. We are committed to pursuing EV charging development grant opportunities in all U.S. states where they are available. Funding sources in the U.S. include the Department of Energy, Department of Transportation, Department of Agriculture, the VW mitigation settlement trust fund, funding initiatives from utility service providers and various state, and local jurisdictions. Blink has recently completed grant projects in Maryland, Illinois, New Jersey, Florida, and Delaware, increasing our DCFC footprint throughout the East Coast and Midwest, with additional projects slated for deployment in 2026 and beyond.
Disclosure Related to Climate Change
In March 2024, the SEC adopted rules mandating disclosure of climate-related risks and greenhouse gas emissions in companies’ annual reports and registration statements, with compliance requirements phased in beginning with fiscal year 2025 filings for certain registrants. In April 2024, the SEC stayed the rules’ effectiveness pending judicial review. In March 2025, the SEC voted to formally withdraw its legal defense of the rules, and they remain stayed pending the outcome of the judicial proceedings.
Privacy and Data Security Laws
We are currently subject, and/or may in the future be subject to numerous privacy and data security laws. For example, some U.S. states, members of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and many other jurisdictions in which we operate have adopted some form of privacy and data security laws and regulations which impose significant compliance obligations.
The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”) is a comprehensive data privacy law that came into effect in May 2018. It is wide-ranging in scope, and imposes several requirements relating to the control over personal data by individuals to whom the personal data relates, the information provided to the individuals, the documentation we must maintain, the security and confidentiality of the personal data, requirements around data breach and notification, and the use of third-party processors in connection with the processing of personal data. The GDPR also imposes strict rules on the transfer of personal data outside of the European Union (“EU”), provides enforcement authority, and authorizes the imposition of large penalties for noncompliance, including the potential for significant fines. The GDPR requirements apply not only to third-party transactions, but also to transfers of information between Blink Charging and its subsidiaries, including employee information. The GDPR has increased our responsibility and potential liability in relation to all types of personal data that we process and we may be required to put in place additional mechanisms to ensure compliance with the GDPR, which could divert management’s attention and increase its cost of doing business, and despite our ongoing efforts to bring our practices into compliance with the GDPR, we may not always be successful.
Additionally, we are governed by a California state privacy law called the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), which contains requirements similar to those to the GDPR for the handling of personal information for California residents. The CCPA establishes a privacy framework for covered businesses, including an expansive definition of personal information and data privacy rights for California residents. The CCPA includes a framework with potentially severe statutory damages and private rights of action. The CCPA requires covered companies to provide new disclosures to California consumers (as that word is broadly defined in the CCPA), and new ways for such consumers to opt out of certain sales of personal information, and to allow for a new cause of action for data breaches. Further, California voters approved a new privacy law, the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”) in November 2020. Effective starting on January 1, 2023, the CPRA significantly modifies the CCPA, including by expanding the consumers’ rights with respect to certain sensitive personal information. The CPRA also creates a new state agency, the California Privacy Protection Agency (“CPPA”), that is vested with authority to implement and enforce the CCPA and the CPRA. More recently, several other states have passed or are in the process of passing comprehensive data privacy laws, including the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (“VCDPA”), the Colorado Privacy Act (“CPA”), the Connecticut Data Privacy Act (“CTDPA”), and the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (“UCPA”). The Virginia law became effective on January 1, 2023; the Colorado law became effective on July 1, 2023; and the Connecticut law became effective on July 1, 2023. The Utah Privacy Act came into force on December 31, 2023, and there are expected legislative changes in other states as well, shaping the evolving national data privacy landscape.
The GDPR, CCPA, CPRA, VCDPA, CPA, CTDPA and UCPA exemplify the exposure of our business to the evolving regulatory environment related to personal data. Our compliance costs and potential liability may increase as a result of such additional regulatory requirements related to data privacy and data security. Some U.S. states, members of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and many other jurisdictions in which we operate have adopted or are in the process of adopting privacy and data security laws and regulations which impose significant compliance obligations.
Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
We are committed to sourcing only responsibly produced materials. We have a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to child or forced labor and human trafficking by our suppliers.
Government Regulation and Incentives
State, regional and local regulations for installing EV charging stations vary by jurisdiction and may include requirements around permitting, inspection, licensing, and certifications. Compliance with such regulations may cause installation delays.
We intend to continue to vigorously seek incentives such as government grants, loans, rebates, and subsidies, as cost-effective means of reducing our capital investment in the promotion, purchase and installation of charging stations where applicable. A range of incentives are currently offered to encourage electric vehicle adoption at the federal, state and local levels.
OSHA
We are subject to the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended (“OSHA”). OSHA establishes specific employer responsibilities, including maintaining a workplace free of recognized hazards likely to cause death or serious injury, compliance with standards promulgated by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and various recordkeeping, disclosure and procedural requirements. Multiple standards, including standards for notices of hazards, safety in excavation and demolition work and the handling of asbestos, may apply to our operations. We are in full compliance with OSHA regulations.
NEMA
The National Electrical Manufacturers Association (“NEMA”) is the association of electrical equipment and medical imaging manufacturers. NEMA provides a forum for developing technical standards in the industry and users’ best interests, advocating industry policies on legislative and regulatory matters, and collecting, analyzing, and disseminating industry data. All products distributed within the U.S. adhere to the applicable NEMA standards governing such merchandise.
Waste Handling and Disposal
We are subject to laws and regulations regarding the handling and disposal of hazardous substances and solid wastes, including electronic wastes and batteries. These laws generally regulate the generation, storage, treatment, transportation, and disposal of solid and hazardous waste, and may impose strict, joint, and several liability for the investigation and remediation of areas where hazardous substances may have been released or disposed. For instance, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), also known as the Superfund law, in the United States and comparable state laws impose liability, without regard to fault or the legality of the original conduct, on certain classes of persons that contributed to the release of a hazardous substance into the environment. These persons include current and prior owners or operators of the site where the release occurred as well as companies that disposed of or arranged for the disposal of hazardous substances found at the site. Under CERCLA, these persons may be subject to joint and several strict liability for the costs of cleaning up the hazardous substances that have been released into the environment, for damages to natural resources and for the costs of certain health studies. CERCLA also authorizes the EPA and, in some instances, third parties to act in response to threats to the public health or the environment and to seek to recover from the responsible classes of persons the costs they imposed. We may handle hazardous substances within the meaning of CERCLA, or similar state statutes, in the course of ordinary operations and, as a result, may be jointly and severally liable under CERCLA for all or part of the costs required to clean up sites at which these hazardous substances have been released into the environment.
We also generate solid wastes, which may include hazardous wastes that are subject to the requirements of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (“RCRA”) and comparable state statutes. While RCRA regulates both solid and hazardous wastes, it imposes strict requirements on the generation, storage, treatment, transportation, and disposal of hazardous wastes. Certain components of our products are excluded from RCRA’s hazardous waste regulations, provided certain requirements are met (as detailed in the section “CESQG,” below). However, if these components do not meet all the established requirements for the exclusion, or if the requirements for the exclusion change, we may be required to treat such products as hazardous waste, which are subject to more rigorous and costly disposal requirements. Any such changes in the laws and regulations, or our ability to qualify the materials it uses for exclusions under such laws and regulations, could adversely affect our operating expenses.
Similar laws exist in other jurisdictions where we operate. Additionally, in the EU, we are subject to the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (“WEEE Directive”). The WEEE Directive provides for the creation of a collection scheme where consumers return waste electrical and electronic equipment to merchants, such as Blink Charging. If we fail to properly manage such waste electrical and electronic equipment, it may be subject to fines, sanctions, or other actions that may adversely affect on our financial operations.
CESQG
As a Conditionally Exempt Small Quantity Generator (“CESQG”), we generate a limited quantity of hazardous waste, mainly solvent contaminated wipes, which are transported to local solid waste facilities. Scrapped electronic boards are transported to a local recycler. A CESQG of hazardous waste is defined as a generator that:
- produces no more than 100 kg (220 lbs.) of hazardous waste per calendar month;
- produces no more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of acute hazardous waste per calendar month;
- never accumulates more than 1,000 kg (2,204 lbs.) of hazardous waste at any one time; and
- never accumulates more than 1 kg (2.2 lbs.) of acute hazardous waste at any one time.
The use of our machinery and equipment must comply with the following applicable laws and regulations, including safety and environmental regulations:
- General Safety for All Employees – Includes health hazard communication, emergency exit plans, electrical safety-related work practices, office safety, and hand-powered tools.
- Technicians and Engineers – Only authorized persons (technicians and engineers) perform product testing and repair in the facility’s production and engineering areas, including those engineers involved in field service work. Regulations include control of hazardous energy sources and the use of personal protective equipment.
- Logisticians – Includes forklift operations performed only by certified shipping/receiving personnel and material handling and storage.
We fully comply with the general industry category’s environmental regulations applicable to us as a CESQG.
Intellectual Property
We rely on a combination of patent, trademark, copyright, unfair competition and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions, to establish, maintain and protect our proprietary rights. Our success depends partly on our ability to obtain and maintain proprietary protection for our products, technology and know-how, to operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others, and to prevent others from infringing our proprietary rights.
Our patents relate to various EV charging station designs. We intend to regularly assess opportunities for seeking patent protection for those aspects of our technology, designs, and methodologies that we believe provide a meaningful competitive advantage. If we cannot do so, our ability to protect our intellectual property or prevent others from infringing our proprietary rights may be impaired.
Human Capital Resources
Our experienced employees and management team are some of our most valuable resources, and we are committed to attracting, motivating, and retaining top talent. As of December 31, 2025, we had 320 employees and contractors. With exception of Belgium, none of our employees are represented by a union or covered by a collective bargaining agreement.
Two employees in our Belgian entity are represented by a union in accordance with Belgian labor legislation. Due to the size of the Belgian company (at time of mandatory social elections) within the applicable joint committee, a union delegation (CPBW) was required and put in place. These employees are based in our Antwerp office.
We have not experienced any work stoppages, and we consider our relationship with our employees to be good.
Our success is directly related to the satisfaction, growth, and development of our employees. We strive to offer a work environment where employee opinions are valued and allow our employees to use and augment their professional skills. To achieve our human capital goals, we intend to remain focused on providing opportunities to expand our business within their areas of expertise and continue to provide our personnel with opportunities for growth. We emphasize several measures and objectives in managing our human capital assets, including, among others, employee safety and wellness, talent acquisition and retention, employee engagement, development and training, diversity and inclusion, and compensation and pay equity.
Diversity and Inclusion and Ethical Business Practices. We believe that a company culture focused on diversity and inclusion is a crucial driver of creativity and innovation. We also believe that diverse and inclusive teams make better business decisions, ultimately driving better business outcomes. We are committed to recruiting, retaining, and developing high-performing, innovative, and engaged employees with diverse backgrounds and experiences. This commitment includes providing equal access to, and participation in, equal employment opportunities, programs, and services without regard to race, religion, color, national origin, disability, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, stereotypes, or assumptions based thereon. We welcome and celebrate our teams’ differences, experiences, and beliefs, and we are investing in a more engaged, diverse, and inclusive workforce.
We also foster a strong corporate culture that promotes high standards of ethics and compliance for our business, including policies that set forth principles to guide employee, officer, director, and vendor conduct, such as our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. We also maintain a whistleblower policy and anonymous hotline for the confidential reporting of any suspected policy violations or unethical business conduct on the part of our businesses, employees, officers, directors, or vendors.

Risk factors
As filed, 70,754 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
In addition to other information in this Annual Report and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the following risk factors should be carefully considered in evaluating our business as they may have a significant impact on our business, operating results and financial condition. If any of the following risks occur, our business, cash flow, results of operations, financial condition and future business prospects could be materially and adversely affected, and the trading price of our common stock could decline. Because of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance should not be considered as a reliable indicator of future performance and stockholders and investors should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in future periods.
Risks Related to Our Business
We have a history of substantial net losses and expect losses to continue in the future; if we do not achieve and sustain profitability, our financial condition could suffer.
We have experienced substantial net losses, and we expect to continue to incur substantial losses for the foreseeable future. We incurred net losses of approximately $83.4 million, $201.3 million and $203.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, respectively. As of December 31, 2025, we had net working capital of approximately $26 million and an accumulated deficit of approximately $822 million. We have not yet achieved profitability.
If our revenue grows slower than we anticipate, or if our operating expenses are higher than we expect, we may not be able to achieve profitability, and our financial condition could suffer. We can give no assurance that we will ever achieve profitable operations. Even if we achieve profitability in the future, we may not be able to sustain profitability in subsequent periods. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. We may need to borrow additional funds or sell our equity or debt securities, or some combination of both, to provide funding for our operations in the future. Such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, and any equity financing would be dilutive to our stockholders.
We may need additional capital to fund our growing operations but cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain sufficient capital from potential sources, and we may have to limit the scope of our operations or take actions that may dilute your financial interest.
We will need additional capital to fund our growing operations in the future. If adequate additional financing is not available on reasonable terms or available at all, we may not be able to undertake expansion or continue our marketing efforts and we would have to modify our business plans accordingly. The extent of our capital needs will depend on numerous factors, including: (i) our profitability; (ii) the release of competitive products and/or services by our competition; (iii) the level of our investment in research and product development; (iv) the amount of our capital expenditures, including acquisitions; and (v) our growth. We cannot be certain that additional funding and incremental working capital will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all, or that it will exist in a timely and/or adequate manner to allow for the proper execution of our near and long-term business strategy. If sufficient funds are not available on terms and conditions acceptable to management and stockholders, we may be required to delay, reduce the scope of, or eliminate further development of our business operations.
Even if we obtain requisite financing, it may be on terms not favorable to us, it may be costly and it may require us to agree to covenants or other provisions that will favor new investors over existing stockholders or other restrictions that may adversely affect our business. Additional funding, if obtained, may also result in significant dilution to our stockholders.
Our revenue growth ultimately depends on consumers’ willingness to adopt EVs in a market that is still in its early stages.
Our growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers of EVs, and we are subject to the risk of reduced demand for EVs. If the market for EVs does not gain broader market acceptance or develops slower than we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be harmed. The market for electric vehicles is relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, frequent new vehicle announcements, long development cycles for EV original equipment manufacturers, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Factors that may influence the purchase and use of alternative fuel vehicles, specifically EVs, include:
- perceptions about EV quality, safety (in particular with respect to lithium-ion battery packs), design, performance and cost, especially if adverse events or accidents occur that are linked to the quality or safety of EVs;
- the limited range over which EVs may be driven on a single battery charge and concerns about running out of power while in use;
- limitations in the development of battery technology;
- concerns regarding the stability of the electrical grid and the rising price of electricity;
- improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine;
- the initial cost of purchasing EVs compared to conventional gas-powered automobiles;
13
- the number, price and variety of EV models available for purchase;
- consumers’ desire and ability to purchase a luxury automobile or one that is perceived as exclusive;
- EV supply chain disruptions including availability of certain components such as semiconductors, microchips, and lithium, availability of batteries and battery materials, and geopolitical, tariff, and trade issues that may disrupt the EV supply chain;
- volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline and the impact of international conflicts;
- government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy;
- access to charging stations, standardization of EV charging systems and consumers’ perceptions about convenience and cost to charge an EV; and
- the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to purchase and operate EVs or future regulation requiring increased use of zero emission vehicles.
The influence of any of the factors described above may negatively impact the widespread consumer adoption of EVs, which would materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.
War, terrorism, other acts of violence or natural or human-made disasters may affect the markets in which we operate, our customers, our delivery of products and customer service, and could have a material adverse impact on our business, results of operations, or financial condition.
Our business may be adversely affected by instability, disruption or destruction in a geographic region in which we operate, regardless of cause, including war, terrorism, riot, civil insurrection or social unrest, and natural or human-made disasters, including famine, flood, fire, earthquake, storm or public health crises. Such events may cause customers to suspend their decisions on using our services, make it impossible for us to render our services, cause restrictions, and give rise to sudden significant changes in regional and global economic conditions and cycles. These events also pose significant risks to our personnel and to physical facilities and operations, which could materially adversely affect our financial results.
Further, the current Russia-Ukraine and Middle East conflicts have created extreme volatility in the global financial markets and are expected to have further global economic consequences, including disruptions of the global supply chain and energy markets and heightened volatility of commodity and raw material prices. In addition, recently there has been increasing geopolitical tension between China and Taiwan that may affect future shipments from Taiwan based electronics suppliers for certain of our EV chargers. Any such volatility or disruptions may have adverse consequences for us or the third parties on whom we rely. If the equity and credit markets deteriorate, including as a result of political unrest or war, it may make any necessary debt or equity financing more difficult to obtain in a timely manner or on favorable terms, more costly or more dilutive. Our business, financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected by any negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or commodity and raw material prices resulting from the conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East, the geopolitical tensions between China and Taiwan or any other geopolitical tensions.
Changes to corporate average fuel economy standards may negatively impact the EV market, which would adversely affect our business.
To meet higher fuel efficiency and greenhouse gas emission standards for passenger vehicles, automobile manufacturers are increasingly using technologies, such as turbocharging, direct injection and higher compression ratios, which require high octane gasoline. If fuel efficiency of vehicles continues to rise, and the affordability of internal combustion vehicles increases, the demand for electric vehicles could diminish. If consumers no longer purchase EVs, or purchase fewer EVs, it would materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.
Our quarterly operating results may fluctuate significantly.
We expect that our operating results may be subject to substantial quarterly fluctuations. If our quarterly operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, the price of our common stock could decline substantially. We believe that quarterly comparisons of our financial results are not necessarily meaningful and should not be relied upon as an indication of our future performance.
We are unable to predict the ultimate impact of equipment order delays and chip shortages on our business and future results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
The global chip shortage and supply chain disruption over the past several years caused some temporary delays for us in equipment orders from our contract manufacturer. As federal, state, local and foreign economies returned to pre-pandemic levels and the demand for charging station usage increased, these delays and shortages became less apparent; however, we are unable to predict the extent of any final recovery from prior years due to the uncertainty of the possible occurrence of another pandemic or other epidemics. As a result, we are unable to predict the ultimate impact that equipment order delays and chip shortages will have on our business and our future results of operations, financial position and cash flows.
We rely on a limited number of vendors for our EV charging equipment and related support services. The loss of any of these partners would negatively affect our business.
We rely on a limited number of vendors for design, transfer review, manufacturing, and testing of EV charging equipment which is generally sole sourced with respect to components as well as aftermarket maintenance and warranty services. The reliance on a limited number of vendors increases our risks, since we do not currently have proven reliable alternative or replacement vendors beyond these key parties. In the event of production interruptions or supply chain disruptions including but not limited to availability of certain key components such as semiconductors, we may not be able to take advantage of increased production from other sources or develop alternate or secondary vendors without incurring material additional costs and substantial delays. Therefore, our business would be adversely affected if one or more of our vendors were impacted by any interruption at a particular location.
If we or our suppliers experience a significant increase in demand, or if we need to replace an existing supplier, we may not be able to supplement service or replace them on acceptable terms, which may impact our ability to install chargers in a timely manner. Thus, the loss of any significant vendor would have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.
We may be adversely affected by inflationary or market fluctuations, including the impact of tariffs, in the cost of products consumed in providing our services or our cost of labor.
The prices we pay for the principal items we consume in performing our services are dependent primarily on current market prices. We have consolidated certain supply purchases with national vendors through agreements containing negotiated prospective pricing. In the event such vendors are not able to comply with their obligations under the agreements and we are required to seek alternative suppliers, we may incur increased costs of supplies and/or supply disruptions.
EV chargers are impacted by commodity pricing factors, including the impact of tariffs and trade barriers, which in many cases are unpredictable and outside of our control. We seek to pass on to customers such increased costs but sometimes we are unable to do so. Even when we can pass on such costs to our customers, from time to time, sporadic unanticipated increases in the costs of certain supply items due to market or economic conditions may result in a timing delay in passing on such increases to our customers. This type of spike and unanticipated increase in EV charger costs could adversely affect our operating performance, and the adverse effect could be greater if we are delayed in passing on such additional costs to our customers (e.g., where we may not be able to pass such increase on to our customers until the time of our next scheduled service billing review). We seek to mitigate the impact of an unanticipated increase in the cost of such supplies through consolidation of vendors, which increases our ability to obtain more favorable pricing.
Our cost of labor may be influenced by factors in certain market areas. Our hourly employees could be affected by wage rate increases in the federal or state minimum wage rates, wage inflation or local job market adjustments. We do not have a contractual right to automatically pass through all wage rate increases resulting from wage rate inflation or local job market adjustments, and we may be delayed in doing so. Our delay in, or inability to pass such wage increases through to our customers could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We have global operations and face risks related to health crises that could negatively impact our financial condition.
Our business, the businesses of our customers and the businesses of our charging equipment suppliers could be materially and adversely affected by the risks, or the public perception of the risks, related to a pandemic or other health crisis like the Covid-19 pandemic. During the Covid-19 pandemic (March 2020 to May 2023), a significant component supplier of our Blink IQ 200 charging station located in Taiwan who, in turn, sourced assembly parts from China, was particularly impacted. A significant or prolonged outbreak of contagious diseases like Covid-19 and its variants in the human population could result in a widespread health crisis that could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, resulting in an economic downturn that could affect demand for our EV supply equipment and related networked services and likely impact our operating results. Such events could result in the complete or partial closure of our Taiwan supplier’s manufacturing facility, the interruption of our distribution system, temporary or long-term disruption in our supply chains from Asia and other international suppliers, disruptions, or restrictions on our employees to work or travel, delays in the delivery of our charging stations to customers, and potential claims of exposure to diseases through contact with our charging stations. If the impact of an outbreak continues for an extended period, it could materially adversely impact our supply chain, access to capital and the growth of our revenues.
Climate change may have a long-term impact on our business.
While we seek to partner with organizations that mitigate their business risks associated with climate change, we recognize that there are inherent risks wherever business is conducted. Access to clean water and reliable energy in the communities where we conduct our business, whether for our offices or for our vendors, is a priority. Climate-related events, including the increasing frequency of extreme weather events and their impact on critical infrastructure throughout the United States and in other countries where we have operations, have the potential to disrupt our business, our third-party suppliers and/or the business of our customers, and may cause us to experience higher attrition, losses and additional costs to maintain or resume our EV charging operations.
Computer malware, viruses, hacking, cyberattacks, phishing attacks and spamming that could result in security and privacy breaches and interruption in service could harm our business and our customers.
Computer malware, viruses, physical or electronic break-ins and similar disruptions could lead to interruption and delays in our services and operations and loss, misuse, encryption or theft of data. Computer malware, viruses, computer hacking, cyberattacks and phishing attacks against online networking platforms have become more prevalent and may occur on our systems in the future. Any attempts by hackers to disrupt our website service or our internal systems, if successful, could harm our business, be expensive to remedy and damage our reputation or brand. Our network security business disruption insurance may not be sufficient to cover significant expenses and losses related to direct attacks on our website or internal systems. Efforts to prevent hackers from entering our computer systems are expensive to implement and may limit the functionality of our services. Though it is difficult to determine what, if any, harm may directly result from any specific interruption or attack, any failure to maintain performance, reliability, security and availability of our products and services and technical infrastructure may harm our reputation, brand and our ability to attract customers. Any significant disruption to our website or internal computer systems could result in a loss of customers and could adversely affect our business and results of operations.
We have previously experienced, and may in the future experience, service disruptions, outages and other performance problems due to a variety of factors, including infrastructure changes, third-party service providers, human or software errors and capacity constraints. If our mobile application is unavailable when customers attempt to access it or it does not load as quickly as they expect, customers may seek other services.
Our platform functions on software that is highly technical and complex and may now or in the future contain undetected errors, bugs, or vulnerabilities. Some errors in our software code may only be discovered after the code has been deployed. Any errors, bugs or vulnerabilities discovered in our code after deployment, inability to identify the cause or causes of performance problems within an acceptable period of time or difficultly maintaining and improving the performance of our platform, particularly during peak usage times, could result in damage to our reputation or brand, loss of revenues, or liability for damages, any of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.
We expect to continue to make significant investments to maintain and improve the availability of our platform and to enable rapid releases of new features and products. To the extent that we do not effectively address capacity constraints, upgrade our systems and equipment as needed and continually develop our technology and network architecture to accommodate actual and anticipated changes in technology, our business and operating results may be harmed. If we do not make the necessary investments or upgrades to maintain a network capable of operating on current and future generations of broadband cellular network technology, namely the 4G and 5G systems, our business and operating results could be adversely impacted.
We have a disaster recovery program to transition our operating platform and data to an alternative location in the event of a catastrophe. However, there are several factors ranging from human error to data corruption that could materially lengthen the time our platform is partially or fully unavailable to our user base as a result of the transition. If our platform is unavailable for a significant period of time as a result of such a transition, especially during peak periods, we could suffer damage to our reputation or brand, and loss of revenues, all of which could adversely affect our business and financial results.
Growing our customer base depends upon the effective operation of our mobile applications with mobile operating systems, networks and standards that we do not control.
We are dependent on the interoperability of our mobile applications with popular mobile operating systems that we do not control, such as Google’s Android and iOS, and any changes in such systems that degrade our products’ functionality or give preferential treatment to competitive products could adversely affect the usage of our applications on mobile devices. Additionally, to deliver high quality mobile products, it is important that our products work well with a range of mobile technologies, systems, networks and standards that we do not control. We may not be successful in developing relationships with key participants in the mobile industry or in developing products that operate effectively with these technologies, systems, networks or standards.
If we are unable to keep up with advances in EV technology, we may suffer a decline in our competitive position. The EV industry is characterized by rapid technological change. If we are unable to keep up with changes in EV technology, our competitive position may deteriorate, which would materially and adversely affect our business, prospects, operating results and financial condition. As technologies change, we plan to upgrade or adapt our EV charging stations and Blink Network software to continue to provide EV charging services with the latest technology. However, due to our limited cash resources, our efforts to do so may be limited. Any failure of our charging stations to compete effectively with other manufacturers’ charging stations will harm our business, operating results and prospects.
We need to manage growth in operations to realize our growth potential and achieve expected revenues; our failure to manage growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.
To take advantage of the growth that we anticipate in our current and potential markets, we believe that we must expand our marketing operations. This expansion will place a significant strain on our management and our operational, accounting, and information systems. We expect to continue improving our financial controls, operating procedures and management information systems. We will also need to effectively train, motivate and manage our employees. Our failure to manage our growth could disrupt our operations and ultimately prevent us from generating the revenues we expect.
To achieve the above-mentioned targets, the general strategies of our company are to maintain and search for appropriate talent who have innovative mindset and initiatives, as well as to keep a close eye on expansion opportunities through merger and/or acquisition.
We may be unable to successfully integrate recent acquisitions in a cost-effective and non-disruptive manner.
Our success depends on our ability to grow our business and enhance and broaden our product offerings in response to changing customer demands, competitive pressures, and advances in technologies. We continue to search for viable acquisition candidates or strategic alliances that would expand our market presence and enhance our operating margins. Accordingly, we have previously and may in the future pursue the acquisition of, investments in or joint ventures relating to, new businesses, products or technologies as a part of our growth strategy instead of developing them internally. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to manage the expanded business following these transactions, including challenges related to the management and monitoring of new operations and associated increased costs and complexity associated with our past acquisitions as well as future acquisitions. Other risks involving potential future and completed acquisitions and strategic investments include:
- risks associated with conducting due diligence;
- problems integrating the purchased businesses, products and technologies;
- inability to achieve the anticipated synergies and overpaying for acquisitions or unanticipated costs associated with acquisitions;
- invalid sales assumptions for potential acquisitions;
- issues maintaining uniform standards, procedures, controls and policies;
- diversion of management’s attention from our core business;
- adverse effects on existing business relationships with suppliers, distributors and customers;
- risks associated with entering new markets in which we have limited or no experience;
- potential loss of key employees of acquired businesses; and
- increased legal, accounting and compliance costs.
We compete with other companies for these opportunities, and we may be unable to consummate such acquisitions or joint ventures on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, acquired businesses may have ongoing or potential liabilities, legal claims (including tort and/or personal injury claims) or adverse operating issues that we fail to discover through due diligence prior to the acquisition.
Even if we are aware of such liabilities, claims or issues, we may not be able to accurately estimate the magnitude of the related liabilities and damages. In particular, to the extent that prior owners of any acquired businesses or properties failed to comply with or otherwise violated applicable laws or regulations, failed to fulfill their contractual obligations to their customers, or failed to satisfy legal obligations to employees or third parties, we, as the successor, may be financially responsible for these violations and failures and may suffer reputational harm or otherwise be adversely affected. Acquisitions also frequently result in the recording of goodwill and other intangible assets which are subject to potential impairment in the future that could harm our financial results. If we were to issue additional equity in connection with such acquisitions, this may dilute our stockholders.
We have limited insurance coverage for various liabilities and damages, including potential injuries, and such insurance coverage may not be adequate in a catastrophic situation.
We hold employer liability insurance generally covering death or work-related injury of employees. We hold product and general liability insurance covering certain incidents involving third parties that occur on or in the premises of our company. We maintain business interruption insurance for key locations. Additionally, we hold cybersecurity insurance for certain claims associated with data breaches, cyberattacks, and other information security incidents. We also maintain directors’ and officers’ liability insurance for certain claims that may arise against our leadership.
Our insurance coverage may be insufficient to cover any claim for, or due to, product liability, damage to our fixed assets, inventory or employee injuries, cyber incidents, regulatory investigations, and litigation. Any liability or damage to, or caused by, our facilities, our personnel, our information systems, or actions taken by our directors and officers beyond our insurance coverage may result in our incurring substantial costs and a diversion of resources.
Our future success depends on our ability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, including our President and Chief Executive Officer.
Effective February 1, 2025, Michael Battaglia was named as our new President and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Battaglia joined our company in 2020 and assumed increasingly senior positions with us, including Chief Operating Officer and Chief Revenue Officer.
Our business depends on the availability to us of Mr. Battaglia, and our business would be materially and adversely affected if his services were to be unavailable to us. There is no assurance that Mr. Battaglia will continue to be available to us, although we have entered into a two-year employment agreement with Mr. Battaglia expiring in February 2027, subject to automatic annual renewals. In addition, our future success depends upon our ability to attract and retain other highly qualified personnel. Expansion of our business and the management and operation of our company will require additional managers and employees with industry experience, and our success will be highly dependent on our ability to attract and retain skilled management personnel and other employees. There can be no assurance that we will be able to attract or retain highly qualified personnel. As our industry continues to evolve, competition for skilled personnel with the requisite experience will be significant. This competition may make it more difficult and expensive to attract, hire and retain qualified managers and employees.
We are in a highly competitive EV charging services industry and there can be no assurance that we will be able to compete with our competitors, some of which are larger and have greater financial resources.
We face strong competition from competitors in the EV charging services industry, including competitors who could duplicate our model. Many of these competitors may have substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources and other capabilities than us. In addition, there are very few barriers to entry to the market for our services. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any of our current and future competitors, many of whom may have far greater resources, will not independently develop services that are substantially equivalent or superior to our services. Therefore, investment in our company is risky and speculative due to the competitive environment in which we may operate.
Our competitors may be able to provide customers with different or greater capabilities or benefits than we can provide in areas such as technical qualifications, past contract performance, geographic presence and driver price. Further, many of our competitors may be able to utilize substantially greater resources and economies of scale to develop competing products and technologies, divert sales away from us by winning broader contracts or hire away our employees by offering more lucrative compensation packages. If the market for EV charging stations expands, we expect that competition will intensify as additional competitors enter the market and current competitors expand their product lines. To secure contracts successfully when competing with larger, well-financed companies, we may be forced to agree to contractual terms that provide for lower aggregate payments to us over the life of the contract, which could adversely affect our margins. Our failure to compete effectively with respect to any of these or other factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.
If a third party asserts that we are infringing upon its intellectual property rights, whether successful or not, it could subject us to costly and time-consuming litigation or expensive licenses, and our business may be harmed.
The EV and EV charging industries are characterized by the existence of many patents, copyrights, trademarks and trade secrets. As we face increasing competition, the possibility of intellectual property rights claims against us grows. Our technologies may not be able to withstand any third-party claims or rights against their use. Additionally, although we have acquired other companies’ proprietary technology covered by patents, we cannot be certain that any such patents will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Intellectual property infringement claims against us could harm our relationships with our customers, may deter future customers from subscribing to our services or could expose us to litigation with respect to these claims. Even if we are not a party to any litigation involving a customer and third party, an adverse outcome in any such litigation could make it more difficult for us to defend our intellectual property in any subsequent litigation in which we are a named party. Any of these results could harm our brand and operating results.
Any intellectual property rights claim against us or our customers, with or without merit, could be time-consuming, expensive to litigate or settle and could divert management resources and attention. An adverse determination in this regard also could prevent us from offering our services to our customers and may require that we procure or develop substitute services that do not infringe.
With respect to any intellectual property rights claim against us or our customers, we may have to pay damages or stop using technology found to be in violation of a third party’s rights. We may have to seek a license for the technology, which may not be available on reasonable terms, may significantly increase our operating expenses or require us to restrict our business activities in one or more respects. The technology also may not be available for us to license at all. As a result, we may also be required to develop alternative non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense.
The success of our business depends in large part on our ability to protect our proprietary information and technology and enforce our intellectual property rights against third parties.
We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, service mark, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality procedures and contractual restrictions, to establish and protect our proprietary rights, all of which provide only limited protection. We cannot assure you that any patents will issue with respect to our currently pending patent applications, in a manner that gives us the protection that we seek, if at all, or that any future patents issued to us will not be challenged, invalidated or circumvented. Our currently issued patents and any patents that may be issued in the future with respect to pending or future patent applications may not provide sufficiently broad protection, or they may not prove to be enforceable in actions against alleged infringers. Also, we cannot assure you that any future service mark registrations will be issued with respect to pending or future applications or that any registered service marks will be enforceable or provide adequate protection of our proprietary rights.
We endeavor to enter into agreements with our employees and contractors and agreements with parties with whom we do business to limit access to and disclosure of our proprietary information. We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology or the reverse engineering of our technology. Moreover, others may independently develop technologies that are competitive with ours or infringe our intellectual property. The enforcement of our intellectual property rights also depends on our legal actions against these infringers being successful, but we cannot be sure these actions will be successful, even when our rights have been infringed.
Further, effective patents, trademarks, service marks, copyright and trade secret protection may not be available in every country in which our services are available over the Internet. In addition, the legal standards relating to the validity, enforceability and scope of protection of intellectual property rights in EV-related industries are uncertain and still evolving.
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property rights throughout the world.
Filing, prosecuting and defending all current and future patents in all countries throughout the world would be prohibitively expensive, and our intellectual property rights in some countries outside the United States can be less extensive than those in the United States. In addition, the laws of some foreign countries do not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as federal and state laws in the United States. Consequently, we may not be able to prevent third parties from infringing on our inventions in all countries outside the United States, or from selling or importing products made using our inventions in and into the United States or other jurisdictions. Competitors may use our technologies in jurisdictions where we have not obtained patent protection to develop their own products and, further, may export otherwise infringing products to territories where we have patent protection, but enforcement is not as strong as that in the United States. These products may compete with our product candidates, and our patents or other intellectual property rights may not be effective or sufficient to prevent them from competing.
The legal systems of many foreign countries do not favor the enforcement of patents and other intellectual property protection, which could make it difficult for us to stop the infringement of our patents or marketing of competing products in violation of our proprietary rights. For example, some foreign countries have compulsory licensing laws under which a patent owner must grant licenses to third parties. In addition, some countries limit the enforceability of patents against third parties, including government agencies or government contractors. In these countries, patents may provide limited or no benefit. Proceedings to enforce our patent rights in foreign jurisdictions could result in substantial costs and divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, could put our patents at risk of being invalidated or interpreted narrowly and our patent applications at risk of not issuing and could provoke third parties to assert claims against us. We may not prevail in any lawsuits that we initiate, and the damages or other remedies awarded, if any, may not be commercially meaningful. Accordingly, our efforts to enforce our intellectual property rights around the world may be inadequate to obtain a significant commercial advantage from the intellectual property that we develop or license. If we or any of our licensors is forced to grant a license to third parties with respect to any patents relevant to our business, our competitive position may be impaired, and our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects may be adversely affected.
The risk of loss of our intellectual property, trade secrets or other sensitive business or customer confidential information, and disruption of operations due to cyberattacks or data breaches could negatively impact our financial results.
Cyberattacks or data breaches could compromise confidential, business-critical information, cause disruptions in our operations, expose us to potential litigation or harm our reputation. We have important assets, including intellectual property, trade secrets, and other sensitive business-critical and/or confidential information which may be vulnerable to such incidents. While we have a comprehensive cybersecurity program that is continually reviewed, maintained and upgraded, we cannot assure that we are invulnerable to cyberattacks and data breaches which, if significant, could negatively impact our business and financial results.

Changes to existing federal, state or international laws or regulations applicable to us could cause an erosion of our current competitive strengths.
Our business is subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect to government incentives promoting electric vehicles and others. These laws and regulations, and the interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, fiscal tightening or other reasons may result in diminished revenues from government sources and diminished demand for our products. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting our business could be enacted. These laws and regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may divert a significant portion of management’s attention. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely affect our business.
There are many federal, state and international laws that may affect our business, including measures to regulate EVs and charging systems. If we fail to comply with these applicable laws or regulations, we could be subject to significant liabilities which could adversely affect our business.
There are a number of significant matters under review and discussion with respect to government regulations which may affect our business and/or harm our customers, and thereby adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
In addition to government and regulatory agency activity, ESG and privacy advocacy groups, the technology industry, and other industries have established or may establish various new, additional, or different self-regulatory standards that may place additional burdens on technology companies. Customers may expect that we will meet voluntary certifications or adhere to other standards established by them or third parties. If we are unable to maintain these certifications or meet these standards, it could reduce demand for our solutions and adversely affect our business.
Privacy concerns and laws, or other domestic or foreign regulations, may adversely affect our business.
We are currently subject, and/or may in the future be subject, to numerous privacy and data security laws. For example, some U.S. states, members of the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and many other jurisdictions in which we operate have adopted some form of privacy and data security laws and regulations which impose significant compliance obligations.
The European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”), the California Privacy Rights Act (“CPRA”), the Virginia Consumer Data Protection Act (VCDPA), the Colorado Privacy Act (“CPA”), the Connecticut Act Concerning Personal Data Privacy and Online Monitoring (“CDPA”) and the Utah Consumer Privacy Act (“UCPA”) exemplify the vulnerability of our business to the evolving regulatory environment related to personal data. Management’s attention may be diverted, and our compliance costs and potential liability may increase as a result of additional national and international regulatory requirements related to data privacy and data security.
Failure to comply with anticorruption and anti-money laundering laws, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”), and similar laws associated with activities outside of the United States, could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
We are subject to the FCPA, the U.S. domestic bribery statute contained in 18 U.S.C. § 201, the U.S. Travel Act, the USA PATRIOT Act, the Anti-Bribery Act, and possibly other anti-bribery and anti-money laundering laws in countries in which it conducts activities. It faces significant risks if it fails to comply with the FCPA and other anti-corruption laws that prohibit companies and their employees and third-party intermediaries from promising, authorizing, offering, or providing, directly or indirectly, improper payments or benefits to foreign government officials, political parties and private-sector recipients for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business, directing business to any person or securing any advantage. Any violation of the FCPA, other applicable anti-corruption laws, and anti-money laundering laws could result in whistleblower complaints, adverse media coverage, investigations, loss of export privileges, or severe criminal or civil sanctions, which could have a materially adverse effect on our reputation, business, operating results, and prospects. In addition, ensuring compliance may be costly and time-consuming, and responding to any enforcement action may result in a significant diversion of management’s attention and resources, significant defense costs, and other professional fees.
Existing and future environmental health and safety laws and regulations could result in increased compliance costs or additional operating costs or construction costs and restrictions. Failure to comply with such laws and regulations may result in substantial fines or other limitations that may adversely impact our financial results or the results of operation.
We and our operations, as well as those of our contractors, suppliers, and customers, are subject to certain environmental laws and regulations, including laws related to the use, handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of hazardous substances and waste as well as electronic waste and hardware, whether hazardous or not. These laws may require us or others in our value chain to obtain permits and comply with procedures that impose various restrictions and obligations that may have material effects on our operations. If key permits and approvals cannot be obtained on acceptable terms, or if other operational requirements cannot be met in a manner satisfactory for our operations or on a timeline that meets our commercial obligations, it may adversely impact our business.
Environmental and health and safety laws and regulations can be complex and may be subject to change, such as through new requirements enacted at the supranational, national, sub-national, and/or local level or new or modified regulations that may be implemented under existing law. The nature and extent of any changes in these laws, rules, regulations, and permits may be unpredictable and may have material effects on our business. Future legislation and regulations or changes in existing legislation and regulations, or interpretations thereof, including those relating to hardware manufacturing, electronic waste, or batteries, could cause additional expenditures, restrictions, and delays in connection with our operations as well as other future projects, the extent of which cannot be predicted.
Further, we currently rely on third parties to ensure compliance with certain environmental laws, including those related to the disposal of hazardous and non-hazardous wastes. Any failure to properly handle or dispose of such wastes, regardless of whether such failure is ours or our contractors, may result in liability under environmental laws, including, but not limited to, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), under which liability may be imposed without regard to fault or degree of contribution for the investigation and clean-up of contaminated sites, as well as impacts to human health and damages to natural resources. Additionally, we may not be able to secure contracts with third parties to continue their key supply chain and disposal services for our business, which may result in increased costs for compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
The enactment of legislation implementing changes in tax legislation or policies in different geographic jurisdictions including the United States and several European countries could materially impact our business, financial condition and results of operations.
We conduct business globally and file income tax returns in multiple jurisdictions. Our consolidated effective income tax rate could be materially adversely affected by several factors, including: changing tax laws, regulations and treaties, or the interpretation thereof (such as the United States Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 which, among other changes, introduced a 15% corporate minimum tax on certain United States corporations and a 1% excise tax on certain stock redemptions by United States corporations); the implementation of the U.S. Corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (CAMT) effective in 2024, which imposes 15% minimum tax on large corporations based on adjusted financial statement income; tax policy initiatives and reforms under consideration (such as those related to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Base Erosion and Profit Shifting, or BEPS, project, the European Commission’s state aid investigations and other initiatives); the ongoing global implementation of the OECD’s Pillar Two framework, establishing a 15% global minimum tax, which may impact multinational tax planning strategies; the practices of tax authorities in jurisdictions in which we operate; the resolution of issues arising from tax audits or examinations and any related interest or penalties. Such changes may include (but are not limited to) the taxation of operating income, investment income, dividends received or (in the specific context of withholding tax) dividends, royalties and interest paid. Additionally, some U.S. state-level tax reforms may influence our overall tax obligations depending on our operational footprint.
We are unable to predict what tax reforms may be proposed or enacted in the future or what effect such changes would have on our business, but such changes, to the extent they are brought into tax legislation, regulations, policies or practices in jurisdictions in which we operate, could increase the estimated tax liability that we have expensed to date and paid or accrued on our Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and otherwise affect our future results of operations, cash flows in a particular period and overall or effective tax rates in the future in countries where we have operations, reduce post-tax returns to our shareholders and increase the complexity, burden and cost of tax compliance.
Our failure to maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could have a material adverse effect on our ability to report our financial results on a timely and accurate basis.
As disclosed under Item 9A., Controls and Procedures, management concluded that material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting existed as of December 31, 2025. We identified deficiencies related to the information and communication component as specified within the Internal Control Framework, that assessed the source of controls necessary to ensure the reliability of information used in financial reporting.
Our failure to maintain appropriate and effective internal controls over our financial reporting could result in misstatements in our financial statements and potentially subject us to sanctions or investigations by the SEC or other regulatory authorities and could cause us to delay the filing of required reports with the SEC and our reporting of financial results. Any of these events could result in a decline in the market price of our common stock. Although we have taken steps to maintain our internal control structure as required, we cannot guarantee that a control deficiency will not result in a misstatement in the future. See “Item 9A – Controls and Procedures – Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting” for further information on material weaknesses.
If our estimates or judgments relating to our critical accounting policies prove to be incorrect, our financial condition and results of operations could be adversely affected.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, as discussed under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” included elsewhere in this Annual Report and in our consolidated financial statements included herein. The results of these estimates form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities and equity, and the amount of revenue and expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Significant assumptions and estimates used in preparing our consolidated financial statements include those related to revenue recognition, allowance for credit losses, inventory reserves, impairment of goodwill, indefinite-lived and long-lived assets, product warranty accrual, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, valuation of common stock warrants, valuation of intangible assets acquired from acquisitions, valuation of earn-out liabilities and share-based compensation. Our financial condition and results of operations may be adversely affected if our assumptions change or if actual circumstances differ from those in our assumptions, which could cause our results of operations to fall below the expectations of securities analysts and investors, resulting in a decline in the price of our common stock.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Securities
Our common stock price fluctuated significantly in 2025 and is likely to continue to fluctuate from its current level in 2026; our common stock must maintain a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 to satisfy Nasdaq continued listing standards.
The market price of shares of our common stock fluctuated significantly in 2025 and is likely to continue to fluctuate from its current level in 2026. During 2025, for example, the closing price of our shares ranged from a low of $0.64 per share to a high of $3.62 per share and, through March 27, 2026, our stock price this year ranged from a low of $0.54 per share to a high of $0.92 per share. Future announcements concerning the introduction of new products, services or technologies or changes in product pricing policies by us or our competitors or changes in earnings estimates by analysts, among other factors, could cause the market price of our common stock to fluctuate substantially. Also, stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume volatility in the last twelve months. This volatility has had a substantial effect on the market prices of securities of many public companies for reasons frequently unrelated to the operating performance of specific companies. EV and related companies like us, as a group, have experienced these broad market fluctuations, which have caused declines in the market prices of their common stock. Investors seeking short-term liquidity should be aware that we cannot provide assurance that our stock price will increase to previously higher levels.
Additionally, to maintain the listing of our common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market, we are required to maintain, among other requirements, a minimum closing bid price of $1.00 per share. If we cannot maintain at least this price for 30 consecutive trading days to satisfy The Nasdaq Capital Market continued listing standards, our common stock could be delisted, (following limited additional time to regain compliance) which would harm our business, the trading price of our common stock, our ability to raise additional capital and the liquidity of the market for our common stock. We may explore alternative means to maintain compliance such as a reverse stock split.
Failure to meet Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements could result in the delisting of our common stock, negatively impact the price of our common stock, and negatively impact our ability to raise additional capital.
We must continue to satisfy Nasdaq’s continued listing requirements, including, among others, certain corporate governance requirements and a minimum closing bid price requirement of $1.00 per share. If a company fails for 30 consecutive trading days to meet the $1.00 minimum closing bid price requirement, Nasdaq will send a deficiency notice to the company, advising that it has been afforded a “compliance period” of 180 calendar days to regain compliance with the applicable requirements.
On January 26, 2026, the Company received a deficiency letter (the “Notice”) from Nasdaq notifying the Company that, based upon the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock for the last 30 consecutive trading days, the Company is not currently in compliance with the requirement to maintain a minimum bid price of $1.00 per share for continued listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, as set forth in Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) (the “Minimum Bid Requirement”). The Notice has no immediate effect on the continued listing status of the common stock on The Nasdaq Capital Market and, therefore, the Company’s listing currently remains fully effective.
In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company is provided with a compliance period of 180 calendar days from the date of the Notice, or until July 27, 2026, to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. To regain compliance, the closing bid price of the common stock must meet or exceed $1.00 per share for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days prior to July 27, 2026.
If the Company is not in compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement by July 27, 2026, the Company may be afforded a second 180 calendar day compliance period. To qualify for this additional compliance period, the Company will be required to meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all other initial listing standards for The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the Minimum Bid Price requirement. We will evaluate available options to regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement. However, no assurance can be given that we will regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Requirement during the 180-day compliance period, secure a second period of 180 days to regain compliance or maintain compliance with the other Nasdaq listing requirements.
If our common stock becomes subject to delisting, it would be subject to rules that impose additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell our securities. The additional burdens imposed upon broker-dealers by these requirements could discourage broker-dealers from effecting transactions in our common stock. This would adversely affect the ability of investors to trade our common stock and would adversely affect the value of our common stock. These factors could contribute to lower prices and larger spreads in the bid and ask prices for our common stock. If we seek to implement a reverse stock split to remain listed on Nasdaq, the announcement or implementation of such a reverse stock split could negatively affect the price of our common stock.
A possible “short squeeze” due to a sudden increase in demand of our common stock that largely exceeds supply may lead to further price volatility in our common stock.
Investors may purchase shares of our common stock to hedge existing exposure in our common stock or to speculate on the price of our common stock. Speculation on the price of our common stock may involve long and short exposures. To the extent aggregate short exposure exceeds the number of shares of our common stock available for purchase in the open market, investors with short exposure may have to pay a premium to repurchase our common stock for delivery to lenders of our common stock. Those repurchases may, in turn, dramatically increase the price of our common stock until investors with short exposure are able to purchase additional shares of common stock to cover their short position. This is often referred to as a “short squeeze.” A short squeeze could lead to volatile price movements in shares of our common stock that are not directly correlated to the performance or prospects of our company and once investors purchase the shares necessary to cover their short position the price of our common stock may decline.
We have a number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding warrants and stock options, an ATM common stock program in place and possible issuance of stock from the warrants granted in August 2025 to the former shareholders of Envoy Technologies; the issuance of such shares could have a significant dilutive impact on our stockholders.
As of March 27, 2026, we had outstanding warrants to purchase 5,804,799 shares of common stock and stock options to purchase 433,545 shares of common stock. Our Articles of Incorporation authorize us to issue up to 500,000,000 shares of common stock, which would permit us to issue up to an additional approximately 357,000,000 authorized, unissued shares of common stock, after giving effect to the approximate number of shares of common stock currently outstanding and the number of shares reserved for issuance under warrants and stock options.
On August 4, 2025, our wholly owned subsidiary, Envoy Technologies, Inc. (“Envoy Technologies”), entered into Amendment No. 4 (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 18, 2023, with the Company, Envoy Technologies, Envoy Mobility, Inc. (“Mobility” and formerly Blink Mobility, LLC) and Fortis Advisors LLC, as equity holders’ agent (as previously amended, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the sole remaining payment obligation to the former shareholders of Envoy Technologies was fully satisfied, and we and Mobility were released from all claims and liabilities relating to such obligation, with the issuance of (x) $10,000 in shares of our common stock, valued based on the volume-weighted average trading price for the 25 trading days preceding the issuance date, and (y) warrants exercisable for shares of our common stock with an aggregate value of $11,000, divided into three tranches with vesting conditions based on specific stock price achievements, with outstanding unexercised warrants expiring twenty months after their issuance. We issued an aggregate of 9,696,882 shares of our common stock and issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,898,177 shares of our common stock in full satisfaction of the consideration payable to the former shareholders of Envoy Technologies. The former shareholders of Envoy Technologies were granted registration rights for shares of our common stock initially issued and those issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants. During the year ended December 31, 2025, 1,470,588 of warrants related to the first tranche of warrants had become exercisable upon meeting vesting conditions. Furthermore, 653,118 of these warrants were exercised during the year ended December 31, 2025. The remaining 2,427,589 warrants have not vested as of December 31, 2025.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock on the public market could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. If there are more shares of common stock offered for sale than buyers are willing to purchase, then the market price of our common stock may decline to a market price at which buyers are willing to purchase the offered shares of common stock and sellers remain willing to sell the shares.
Our Articles of Incorporation grant our Board the power to issue additional shares of common and preferred stock and to designate a series of preferred stock, all without stockholder approval.
We are authorized to issue 540,000,000 shares of capital stock, of which 40,000,000 shares are authorized as preferred stock. Our Board, without any action by our stockholders, may designate and issue shares of preferred stock in such series as it deems appropriate and establish the rights, preferences and privileges of such shares, including dividends, liquidation and voting rights, provided it is consistent with Nevada law.
The rights of holders of our preferred stock that may be issued could be superior to the rights of holders of our shares of common stock. The designation and issuance of shares of capital stock having preferential rights could adversely affect other rights appurtenant to shares of our common stock. Further, any issuances of additional stock (common or preferred) will dilute the percentage of ownership interest of then-current holders of our capital stock and may dilute our book value per share.
Certain provisions of our corporate governing documents and Nevada law could discourage, delay or prevent a merger or acquisition at a premium price.
Certain provisions of our organizational documents and Nevada law could discourage potential acquisition proposals, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, or limit the price that investors may be willing to pay in the future for shares of our common stock. For example, our Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws, as amended, permit us to issue, without any further vote or action by the stockholders, up to 40,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and, with respect to each series, to fix the number of shares constituting the series and the designation of the series, the voting powers (if any) of the shares of the series, and the preferences and relative, participating, optional, and other special rights, if any, and any qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the shares of the series.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research reports about our business, our share price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for our common stock will, to some extent, depend on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more of the analysts who cover us from time to time should downgrade our shares or change their opinion of our business prospects, our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts ceases coverage of our company or fails to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.
Our business could be negatively affected as a result of actions of activist shareholders, and such activism could impact the trading value of our securities.
Shareholders may, from time to time, engage in proxy solicitations or advance shareholder proposals, or otherwise attempt to effect changes and assert influence on our Board and management. Activist campaigns that contest or conflict with our strategic direction or seek changes in the composition of our Board could have an adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition. A proxy contest would require us to incur significant legal and advisory fees, proxy solicitation expenses and administrative and associated costs and require significant time and attention by our Board and management, diverting their attention from the pursuit of our business strategy. Any perceived uncertainties as to our future direction and control, our ability to execute on our strategy, or changes to the composition of our Board or senior management team arising from a proxy contest could lead to the perception of a change in the direction of our business or instability which may result in the loss of potential business opportunities, make it more difficult to pursue our strategic initiatives, or limit our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel and business partners, any of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. If individuals are ultimately elected to our Board with a specific agenda, it may adversely affect our ability to effectively implement our business strategy and create additional value for our shareholders. We may choose to initiate, or may become subject to, litigation as a result of a proxy contest or matters arising from a proxy contest, which would serve as a further distraction to our Board and management and would require us to incur significant additional costs. In addition, actions such as those described above could cause significant fluctuations in our stock price based upon temporary or speculative market perceptions or other factors that do not necessarily reflect the underlying fundamentals and prospects of our business.
We do not intend to pay cash dividends on our common stock for the foreseeable future, and you must rely on increases in the market price of our common stock for returns on your investment.
For the foreseeable future, we intend to retain any earnings to finance the development and expansion of our business, and we do not anticipate paying any cash dividends on our common stock. Accordingly, stockholders must be prepared to rely on sales of their common stock after price appreciation to earn an investment return, which may never occur. Investors seeking cash dividends should not purchase our common stock. Any determination to pay dividends in the future will be made at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our results of operations, financial condition, contractual restrictions, restrictions imposed by applicable law and other factors the Board deems relevant.
Cybersecurity
As filed, 4,478 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Our management recognizes the importance of assessing, identifying, and managing material risks associated with cybersecurity threats, and manages those risks with a risk-management cybersecurity program. Among other things, these risks include operational risks, financial system risks, physical security risks, intellectual property theft, fraud, extortion, violation of data privacy and security laws, and harm to employees, drivers, site hosts, and property owners. Our capabilities and data, as well as those of our customers, suppliers, partners, and service providers, are critical to our operations and may contain confidential personal information, sensitive business-related information, or intellectual property. These capabilities are also susceptible to interruptions (including those caused by systems failures, cyber-attacks, and other natural or man-made incidents or disasters), which may be prolonged or go undetected. For additional information regarding risks from cybersecurity threats, please refer to Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in this Annual Report
Risk Management and Strategy
We aim to incorporate industry best practices throughout our cybersecurity program and have live data recovery and breach policies in place. Our cybersecurity strategy focuses on implementing effective and efficient controls, technologies, and other processes to assess, identify, and manage material cybersecurity risks. Our cybersecurity program is designed to be aligned with applicable industry standards and is evaluated annually as a part of our Sarbanes-Oxley information technology control testing procedures. We carry cybersecurity insurance coverage intended to help mitigate certain financial exposures that could arise from cybersecurity incidents. Such coverage is intended to supplement, and not replace, our cybersecurity controls and risk management practices. Our cybersecurity insurance policies are designed to provide coverage for certain costs associated with incident response, forensic investigation, data restoration, notification obligations, regulatory defense, legal expenses, and certain third-party liabilities arising from data breaches or other cybersecurity events.
The Company periodically evaluates its cybersecurity insurance coverage in light of evolving cybersecurity risks, changes in the threat landscape, and developments in our business operations. While we believe that our cybersecurity insurance coverage is consistent with that maintained by similarly situated companies, such coverage is subject to policy limits, deductibles, exclusions, and other terms, and may not be sufficient to cover all losses or liabilities that may arise from a cybersecurity incident.
Our cybersecurity insurance program is one component of our broader cybersecurity risk management framework, which also includes administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to identify, assess, and mitigate cybersecurity risks affecting our systems, data, and operations.
We have processes to assess, identify, manage, and address material cybersecurity threats and incidents. These include annual and ongoing security awareness training for employees, vulnerability scanning, and code reviews, among others. We actively engage with industry groups for benchmarking and best practices awareness. While we are unaware of having been subjected to or impacted by a significant cybersecurity threat to date, we monitor internally discovered or externally reported issues that may affect our products and services and have processes to assess those issues for potential cybersecurity impact or risk.
We also have a process to manage cybersecurity risks associated with third-party service providers. We impose industry-standard security requirements upon our suppliers, including that they maintain an effective security management program; abide by information handling and asset management requirements; and notify us of any known or suspected cyber incident, among others. We obtain and review our third-party service providers’ SOC 1 Type II reports for appropriate information technology controls, including security, to ensure that they adhere to these standards, when available.
Cybersecurity Governance
Cybersecurity is an integral part of our risk management processes and a significant area of focus for the Board of Directors and management team. The Audit Committee is responsible for the cybersecurity component of our IT operations.
Properties
As filed, 493 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
We lease our principal executive offices and global headquarters at 17301 Melford Blvd, Bowie, Maryland 20715.
In addition, we lease office spaces in Bowie, Maryland; Los Angeles, California; Antwerp, Belgium; St Albans, England; and India (Noida and Bangalore), from which we operate our current business.
The Company believes its existing facilities and equipment, which are used by all reportable segments, are in good operating condition and are suitable for the conduct of its business.
Legal proceedings
As filed, 8,300 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
We have been party to certain legal proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of our business and have been incidental to our business. Certain of the claims that have been made against us allege, among other things, breach of contract or breach of express and implied warranties with regard to our products. Although litigation is inherently uncertain, and we believe we are insured against many such instances, based on past experience and the information currently available, management does not believe that any currently pending and threatened litigation or claims will have a material adverse effect on our financial position, liquidity or results of operations. However, future events or circumstances, currently unknown to management, will determine whether the resolution of pending or threatened litigation or claims will ultimately have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity or results of operations in any future reporting periods.
In August 2020, a purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Bush v. Blink Charging Co. et al., Case No. 20-cv-23527, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the Company, Michael Farkas (Blink’s former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer), and Michael Rama (Blink’s Chief Financial Officer) (the “Bush Lawsuit”). In September 2020, another purported securities class action lawsuit, captioned Vittoria v. Blink Charging Co. et al., Case No. 20-cv-23643, was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida against the same defendants and seeking to recover the same alleged damages. Following consolidation of the two actions and the court appointing Tianyou Wu, Alexander Yu and H. Marc Joseph to serve as the Co-Lead Plaintiffs, the Co-Lead Plaintiffs filed an Amended Complaint in February 2021. The Amended Complaint alleged, among other things, that the defendants made false or misleading statements about the size and functionality of the Blink Network and asserted claims under Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In April 2021, Blink and the other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Amended Complaint. In November 2023, the court dismissed Co-Lead Plaintiffs’ claims relating to the size of Blink’s charging network and denied the remainder of the motion to dismiss. Following a mediation in April 2024, the parties agreed to the terms of a settlement in which the Defendants agreed to pay $3,750 (inclusive of attorneys’ fees and administrative costs) in exchange for the dismissal with prejudice of all claims. On October 21, 2024, the Court held a final settlement hearing, approved the settlement, dismissed the Bush Lawsuit with prejudice, and closed the case. The full settlement amount has been paid by the Company’s Directors’ and Officers’ insurance policies.
In September 2020, a shareholder derivative lawsuit, captioned Klein (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Farkas et al., Case No. 20-19815CA01, was filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court seeking to pursue claims belonging to the Company against Blink’s Board of Directors and Michael Rama (the “Klein Lawsuit”). Blink is named as a nominal defendant. The Klein Lawsuit asserted that the Director defendants caused Blink to make the statements at issue in the securities class action and, as a result, the Company incurred costs defending against the Bush Lawsuit and other unidentified investigations. The Klein Lawsuit asserted claims against the Director defendants for breach of fiduciary duties and corporate waste and against all of the defendants for unjust enrichment. Klein did not quantify the alleged damages in his complaint, but he sought damages sustained by the Company as a result of the defendants’ alleged breaches of fiduciary duties, corporate governance changes, restitution, and disgorgement of profits from the defendants and attorneys’ fees and other litigation expenses. In December 2020, another shareholder derivative action, captioned Bhatia (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Farkas et al., Case No. 20-27632CA01, was filed in Miami-Dade County Circuit Court against the same defendants in the Klein Lawsuit and asserted similar claims, as well as additional claims relating to the Company’s nomination, appointment and hiring of minorities and women and the Company’s decision to retain its outside auditor (the “Bhatia Lawsuit”). In June 2022, the court consolidated the Klein and Bhatia actions under the caption In re Blink Charging Company Stockholder Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 2020-019815-CA-01. In February 2022, a shareholder derivative lawsuit, captioned McCauley (derivatively on behalf of Blink Charging Co.) v. Farkas et al., Case No. A-22-847894-C, was filed in Clark County, Nevada seeking to pursue claims belonging to the Company against Blink’s Board of Directors and Michael Rama (the “McCauley Lawsuit”). Blink is named as a nominal defendant. The McCauley Lawsuit asserted similar claims and sought similar damages as the Klein Lawsuit. Following a mediation in April 2024, the parties entered into a Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement (the “Settlement”) dated June 26, 2025. The Settlement resolves the Derivative Actions in exchange for the Company undertaking certain corporate governance reforms, but does not require the director defendants to make any monetary payment as part of the Settlement. The Settlement includes a fee and expense award to plaintiffs’ counsel in the amount of $533 (the “Fee and Expense Award”), which the Company’s insurance carriers have paid. On September 29, 2025, plaintiffs’ counsel in the Derivative Actions filed a motion asking the Nevada court to grant final approval of the Settlement. On October 24, 2025, the Nevada court granted the motion. On October 29, 2025, the Nevada court issued an order and final judgment, approving the settlement and closing the case. On December 4, 2025, plaintiffs in the Florida Action filed a notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice and the case was closed.
The Farkas Group, Inc. (“FGI”), a Florida corporation whose principal is former Company CEO, Michael D. Farkas, filed a demand for arbitration on April 1, 2024, alleging that the Company owes FGI commissions pursuant to a November 17, 2009 commission agreement between the parties. The Company filed an answer denying the claim and counterclaimed against FGI, Mr. Farkas, and one of his companies, NextNRG Holdings (“NEXT”), alleging that FGI, Mr. Farkas, and NEXT are in violation of non-compete agreements. NEXT later filed a petition with the Florida Superior Court to stay the arbitration as to NEXT. The Florida Court denied NEXT’s petition, and the arbitration resumed in March 2025. The arbitration hearing occurred in August 2025. In October 2025, the Arbitrator issued an interim award which requires the Company to provide an accounting within 90 days applying the Arbitrator’s determinations regarding the Commission Agreement. The Company anticipates that the accounting will result in a final award of less than $100 with an ongoing obligation to pay a de minimis monthly amount that is expected to decline to zero over time. The Arbitrator denied the Company’s claim for injunctive relief. The Arbitrator declined to award attorneys’ fees to either party.
In January 2026, the Company received a letter from the law firm Kaliel Gold PLLC dated November 19, 2025 notifying that the law firm intended to initiate consumer arbitrations before the American Arbitration Association on behalf of approximately 230 people. According to Kaliel Gold PLLC’s letter, the Company allegedly fails to disclose certain third-party fees and the price of its charging services. The Company has recently commenced an investigation and has not yet made any assessment as to whether the Company has engaged in any of the challenged activities. The Company is unaware of any proceedings, arbitration or otherwise, that have actually been commenced. As the Company has only recently learned of these potential claims, the Company cannot yet determine the potential exposure of the Company, the validity of the allegations or whether the allegations rise to the level of materiality.

Overview
We are a leading owner, operator, and provider of EV charging equipment and networked EV charging services in the rapidly growing U.S. and international markets for EVs. Blink offers residential and commercial EV charging equipment and services, enabling EV drivers to recharge at various locations. Blink’s principal line of products and services is its Blink Network and Blink EV charging equipment and other EV-related services. The Blink Network is a proprietary, cloud-based system that operates, maintains, and manages Blink charging stations and handles the associated charging data, back-end operations, and payment processing. The Blink Network provides Property Partners, among other types of commercial customers, with cloud-based services that enable the remote monitoring and management of EV charging stations. The Blink Network also provides EV drivers with vital station information, including station location, availability, and fees (as applicable).
To capture more revenues derived from providing EV charging equipment to commercial customers and to help differentiate Blink in the EV infrastructure market, Blink offers Property Partners a comprehensive range of solutions for EV charging equipment and services that generally fall into one of the three business models below, differentiated by who owns the equipment and who bears the costs of installation, equipment, maintenance, and the percentage of revenue shared.
- In our Blink-owned turnkey business model, we incur the charging equipment and installation costs. We own and operate the EV charging station and provide connectivity of the charging station to the Blink Network. In this model, which favors recurring revenues, we incur most costs associated with the EV charging stations; thus, we retain substantially all EV charging revenues after deducting network connectivity and processing fees. Our agreement with the Property Partner typically lasts nine years, with extensions that can bring it to 27 years.
- In our Blink-owned hybrid business model, we incur the charging equipment costs while the Property Partner incurs the installation costs. We own and operate the EV charging station and provide connectivity to the Blink Network. In this model, since the Property Partner incurs the installation costs, we share a more generous portion of the EV charging revenues with the Property Partner after deducting Blink Network connectivity and processing fees. Our agreement with the Property Partner typically lasts seven years, with extensions that can bring it to 21 years.
- In our host-owned business model, the Property Partner purchases, owns, and operates the Blink EV charging station and incurs the installation costs. We work with the Property Partner by providing site recommendations, connectivity to the Blink Network, payment processing, and optional maintenance services. In this model, the Property Partner retains and keeps all the EV charging revenues after deducting Blink Network connectivity and processing fees.
We also own and operate car-sharing and ride-sharing programs through our wholly owned subsidiary, Envoy Mobility. These programs allow customers to share electric vehicles through subscription services and charge those cars through our charging stations.
As of December 31, 2025, there were approximately 66,350 chargers connected to the Blink networks. Of those, approximately 58,850 were Level 2 commercial chargers and approximately 1,920 DCFC were commercial chargers, Included on Blink networks are approximately 8,250 chargers owned by us. Another estimated 23,450 units were non-networked, on other networks, international sales, or deployments.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of 681,330 shares of common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program for aggregate gross proceeds of $909, less issuance costs of $18, which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold an aggregate of 8,970,010 shares of common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program for aggregate gross proceeds of $27,004, less issuance costs of $608 which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
In December 2025, the Company completed an underwritten registered public offering of 26,666,666 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $0.75 per share. The Company received gross proceeds of $20,000 from the public offering, less underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $1,474, which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital, for net proceeds of $18,526. In the aggregate, the Company received total gross proceeds of $20,909 from shares issued under the at-the-market program and the public offering during the year ended December 31, 2025, less total issuance costs of $1,492, for total net proceeds of $19,417.
Recent Developments
Envoy Technologies, Inc.
On August 4, 2025, the Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Envoy Technologies, Inc. (“Envoy Technologies”), entered into Amendment No. 4 (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of April 18, 2023, with the Company, Envoy Technologies, Envoy Mobility, Inc. (“Mobility” and formerly Blink Mobility, LLC) and Fortis Advisors LLC, as equity holders’ agent (as previously amended, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Fourth Amendment, the sole remaining payment obligation to the former shareholders of Envoy Technologies was fully satisfied, and the Company and Mobility were released from all claims and liabilities relating to such obligation, with the issuance of (x) $10,000 in shares of Company common stock, valued based on the volume-weighted average trading price for the 25 trading days preceding the issuance date, and (y) warrants exercisable for shares of Company common stock with an aggregate value of $11,000, divided into three tranches with vesting conditions based on specific stock price achievements, with outstanding unexercised warrants expiring twenty months after their issuance. During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued an aggregate of 9,696,882 shares of the Company’s common stock and issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 3,898,177 shares of Company common stock in full satisfaction of the consideration payable to the former shareholders of Envoy Technologies. See Note 11 - Stockholders’ Equity for additional information. The former shareholders of Envoy Technologies were granted registration rights for shares of Company common stock initially issued and those issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants.
On October 21, 2025, the Company filed a resale registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC covering up to 13,595,059 shares of common stock that may be offered for resale or otherwise disposed of by selling stockholders. The shares offered for resale under the registration statement consisted of (i) 9,696,882 shares of common stock and (ii) 3,898,177 shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants, which were issued by the Company to the selling stockholders in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Envoy Technologies pursuant to the Merger Agreement. The Company was responsible for all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of shares for resale by the selling stockholders, other than the selling stockholders’ respective discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers or dealer managers and similar expenses attributable to the sale or disposition of the shares. The registration statement became effective in November 27, 2025.
Acquisition
On July 7, 2025, the Company acquired 100% of the equity interest in Zemetric, Inc. (“Zemetric”), a Silicon Valley–based provider of charging infrastructure tailored for fleet, multi-family, and high-utilization destinations. The consideration for the acquisition includes cash, the Company’s restricted stock and performance-based earnout. Following the transaction, Zemetric’s founder, Harmeet Singh, became the Company’s Chief Technology Officer. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company issued 189,892 shares of the Company’s common stock upon achievement of a specified earn-out milestone.
Tax Law Change
On July 4, 2025, the President signed into law significant federal tax legislation, H.R.1 (the “Tax Reform Act of 2025”). The legislation includes numerous changes to U.S. corporate income tax law, including but not limited to: permanent 100% bonus depreciation for qualified property, immediate expensing of domestic research and experimental expenditures, modifications to the limitation on business interest expense, increased Section 179 expensing limits, changes to the international tax regime, and expanded limitations on the deductibility of executive compensation under IRC Section 162(m). While the Tax Reform Act of 2025 introduces significant U.S. income tax provisions, given the Company’s ongoing losses and historical NOLs, the Company does not anticipate significant change to its U.S. federal cash tax payments, until it reaches profitability. Therefore, the Tax Reform Act of 2025 does not have material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, with exception of the related disclosures to the valuation allowance for the deferred tax assets recorded in the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2025.
BlinkForward Initiative
In May 2025, we announced the BlinkForward Initiative strategic restructuring plan, aimed accelerating the Company’s path to profitability and enhancing operational efficiency. Key pillars of the BlinkForward Initiative were designed to transform the Company into a more agile and lean organization. This included a significant reduction in our global workforce from 513 to approximately 320 as of the filing of this Annual Report, reductions in other operating, general and administrative expenses, and a shift to contract manufacturing for our EV hardware, to reduce overhead expenses and focus on our intellectual property and customer experience efforts. The transition to contract manufacturing was completed in January 2026, and Blink no longer maintains manufacturing facilities in-house. Additionally, we focused on expansion of our DC Fast Charging network through deployment of high-speed chargers in strategic, high-utilization locations. As a part of this focus, we launched a capital raise process and completed an underwritten registered public offering of 26,666,666 shares of common stock at a public offering price of $0.75 per share, raising gross proceeds of $20,000, less underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $1,474, for net proceeds of $18,526, in December 2025.
As a part of the BlinkForward Initiative announced in May 2025, the Company shifted to contract manufacturing for its EV hardware, to focus on Blink’s intellectual property and service, while reducing overhead. The transition to contract manufacturing was completed in January 2026, and Blink no longer maintains manufacturing facilities in-house. In connection with the transition, in January 2026 the Company entered into a sublease of its former manufacturing facility located in Bowie, Maryland through March 2031.
Product and Service Offerings
We provide electrical vehicle (EV) charging equipment, software, and related services to Property Partners and EV drivers.
EV Charging Solutions
- Level 2 Charging Equipment. We offer a wide range of Level 2 (AC) EV charging equipment, for commercial, residential, and public locations. Our Level 2 chargers support the J1772 connector, the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector, and the Type 2 connector used in Europe.
Our commercial Level 2 chargers consist of the EQ product family in Europe and the United Kingdom and the Series 7, Series 8, and Series 10 product families in North America. We also offer the Shasta charger, a next-generation Level 2 platform designed to support ISO 15118 and “Plug & Charge” functionality. Certain Level 2 chargers offer optional cable management systems and connectivity to the Blink Network. Level 2 charging stations typically provide a full vehicle charge in approximately five to ten hours and are commonly deployed at workplaces, multifamily residential properties, retail and hospitality locations, parking facilities, such as those operated by municipalities, educational campuses, healthcare facilities, and airports.
- International Products. We offer Level 2 AC and DC charging products for international markets, including residential, workplace, retail, parking, hospitality, and fleet applications. These products are available with the Type 2, GBT, and CCS2 connectors and include Blink branded chargers and other hardware sourced or configured to meet regional and customer specific requirements.
- DC Fast Charging (DCFC). We offer a complete line of DC Fast Charging equipment that ranges from 30kW to 600kW. Our DCFC products support NACS, CCS1, CHAdeMO connectors and are capable of producing up to an 80% battery charge in less than 30 minutes, depending on vehicle and conditions. DC fast charging stations typically require greater electrical infrastructure than Level 2 chargers and are deployed in high-traffic urban locations and along long-distance travel corridors. Our DCFC portfolio includes both all-in-one chargers and distributed cabinet and dispenser systems.
- Blink Network. The Blink Network is a cloud-based software platform that supports the operation and management of EV charging stations. The platform enables remote monitoring, management, payment processing, customer support, load management, roaming, reporting, and other network services.
- Blink Charging Mobile App. We offer Blink Charging Mobile Apps for iOS and Android devices that allow EV drivers to locate charging stations, view charger availability and charging speeds, initiate and pay for charging sessions, and manage their charging activity.
- Energy Management and Fleet Management. We offer energy management and fleet focused software solutions designed to help commercial, municipal, and other fleet operators manage charging operations and optimize energy usage and costs. These solutions may be deployed as standalone offerings or integrated with existing fleet and charging management systems.
Key Factors Affecting Operating Results
We believe our performance and future success depend on several factors, including those discussed below:
Competition - The EV charging equipment and service market is highly competitive, and we expect the market to become increasingly competitive as new entrants enter this growing market. Our products and services compete on product performance and features, the total cost of ownership, origin of manufacturing, sales capabilities, financial stability, brand recognition, product reliability, the customer experience, and the installed base’s size. Existing competitors may expand their product offerings and sales strategies, and new competitors may enter the market. If our market share decreases due to increased competition, its revenue and ability to generate profits in the future may be impacted.
Growth - Our growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers of EVs, and we are subject to a risk of any reduced demand for EVs. The market for electric vehicles is still relatively new, rapidly evolving, characterized by rapidly changing technologies, price competition, additional competitors, evolving government regulation and industry standards, frequent new vehicle announcements, long development cycles for EV original equipment manufacturers, and changing consumer demands and behaviors. Factors that may influence the purchase and use of electric vehicles, include perceptions about EV quality, safety (in particular with respect to battery chemistries), design, performance, and cost; the limited range over which EVs may be driven on a single battery charge and concerns about running out of power while in use; improvements in the fuel economy of the internal combustion engine; consumers’ desire and ability to purchase a luxury automobile or one that is perceived as exclusive; the environmental consciousness of consumers; volatility in the cost of oil and gasoline; consumers’ perceptions of the dependency of the United States on oil from unstable or hostile countries and the impact of international conflicts; government regulations and economic incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy; access to charging stations, standardization of EV charging systems and consumers’ perceptions about convenience and cost to charge an EV; and the availability of tax and other governmental incentives to purchase and operate EVs and future regulation requiring increased use of zero emissions vehicles. If the market for EVs does not gain broad market acceptance or develops slower than we expect, our business, prospects, financial condition and operating results may be adversely affected.
Regulations - Our business is subject to a variety of federal, state and international laws and regulations, including those with respect to government incentives promoting fuel efficiency and alternate forms of energy, electric vehicles and others. These laws and regulations, and the interpretation or application of these laws and regulations, could change. Any reduction, elimination or discriminatory application of government subsidies and economic incentives because of policy changes, fiscal tightening or other reasons may result in diminished revenues from government sources and diminished demand for our products. In addition, new laws or regulations affecting our business could be enacted. These laws and regulations are frequently costly to comply with and may divert a significant portion of management’s attention. Changes to these applicable laws or regulations could affect business and/or harm our customers, thereby adversely affecting our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Expansion through Acquisitions - We may pursue strategic domestic and international acquisitions to expand our operations. Risks in acquisition transactions include difficulties in the integration of acquired businesses into our operations and control environment, difficulties in assimilating and retaining employees and intermediaries, difficulties in retaining the existing clients of the acquired entities, assumed or unforeseen liabilities that arise in connection with the acquired businesses, the failure of counterparties to satisfy any obligations to indemnify us against liabilities arising from the acquired businesses, and unfavorable market conditions that could negatively impact our growth expectations for the acquired businesses. Fully integrating an acquired company or business into our operations may take a significant amount of time. If we are unable to integrate or pursue strategic acquisitions, our financial condition and results of the operations would be negatively impacted.
Liquidity, Capital Resources, and Going Concern
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $39,568 compared to $41,774 in cash and cash equivalents and $13,630 in marketable securities as of December 31, 2024, representing a decrease of $15,836 in available liquidity due to ongoing operating losses and working capital requirements.
In May 2025, we announced the BlinkForward Initiative a strategic restructuring plan aimed at accelerating the Company’s path to profitability and enhancing operational efficiency. Key pillars of the BlinkForward Initiative were designed to transform the Company into a more agile and lean organization. This included a significant reduction in our global workforce from 513 to approximately 320 as of the filing of this Annual Report, reductions in other operating, general and administrative expenses, and a shift to contract manufacturing for our EV hardware to reduce overhead expenses and focus on our intellectual property and customer support efforts. The transition to contract manufacturing was completed in January 2026, and Blink no longer maintains manufacturing facilities in-house.
As of December 31, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents, working capital and an accumulated deficit of $39,568, $25,846 and $822,426, respectively. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we generated a net loss of $83,385.
In December 2025, we completed an underwritten registered public offering of 26,666,666 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $0.75 per share. We received gross proceeds of $20,000 from the public offering, less underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $1,474, for net proceeds of $18,526. The public offering was made pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on December 4, 2025, and final prospectus dated December 10, 2025. H.C. Wainwright & Co. and Roth Capital Partners acted as co-placement agents in connection with the offering.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of 681,330 shares of common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program for aggregate gross proceeds of $909, less issuance costs of $18, which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
We have not yet achieved profitability and expect to continue to incur cash outflows from operations. While the BlinkForward Initiative substantially decreased our operating expenses and cash burn, we still need to generate substantial product revenues in the near future to achieve profitability, even as our repeat and recurring revenue from network and charging fees continues to grow. Historically, we have been able to raise funds to support our business operations, although there can be no assurance that we will be successful in raising significant additional funds in the future. We expect that our cash on hand will fund our operations for at least 12 months after the issuance date of the financial statements included in this Annual Report.
Since inception, our operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. We believe we have access to capital resources and continue to evaluate additional financing opportunities. There is no assurance that we will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds we might raise will enable us to complete our EV charging development initiatives or attain profitable operations.

Revenues
Total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $103,520 compared to $124,037 for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $20,517, or 17%.
Revenue from product sales was $46,961 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $81,703 for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $34,742 or 43%. This decrease was attributable to decreased unit sales due to the market demands and the product mix of commercial chargers, DC fast chargers and residential chargers when compared to the same period in 2024.
Charging service revenue was $32,285 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $21,445 for the year ended December 31, 2024, an increase of $10,840, or 51%. The increase is due to the increase in utilization of chargers and an increased number of chargers on the Blink Network.
Network fee revenue was $12,200 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $7,952 for the year ended December 31, 2024 an increase of $4,248, or 53%. The increase was attributable to increases in host owned units during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2024.
Warranty revenue was $3,842 for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $5,687 for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $1,845, or 32%. The decrease was primarily attributable to a change in how extended warranty contracts are sold. As the Company shifted to procuring outsourced extended warranty contracts, this change resulted in a modification in the way warranty revenue was recognized, from a gross revenue basis to a net revenue basis. As of December 31, 2025, we recorded a liability of $263 which represents the estimated cost of existing backlog of warranty cases.
Cost of Revenues
Cost of revenues primarily consists of the cost to manufacture or procure DC fast or L-2 chargers, charger installations, electricity reimbursements, revenue share payments to our Property Partner hosts, the cost of charging stations sold, connectivity charges provided by telco and other networks, warranty, repairs and maintenance services, and depreciation of our installed charging stations. Cost of revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025 were $78,017 as compared to $86,392 for the year ended December 31, 2024, a decrease of $8,375 or 10%.
There is a degree of variability in our costs in relation to our revenues from period to period, primarily due to:
- mix of products between DC fast chargers, and L-2 chargers;
- electricity reimbursements that are unique to those Property Partner host agreements which provide for such reimbursements;
- revenue share payments are predicated on the contractual obligation under the property partner agreement and the revenue generated by the applicable chargers;
- cost of charging stations sold is predicated on the mix of types of charging stations and parts sold during the period;
- network costs are fixed in nature based on the number of chargers connected to the telco network regardless of whether the charger generates revenue;
- provisions for excess and obsolete inventory; and
- warranty and repairs and maintenance expenses are based on both the number of service cases completed during the period.
37
Cost of product sales decreased by $14,081, or 25%, to $41,715 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $55,796 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in product sales of commercial chargers, DC fast chargers and home residential chargers during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. This cost of products decrease was moderated by inventory impairment non-cash charges in the amount of $2,378 recognized during 2025 in connection with a strategic reevaluation of our chargers portfolio. This non-cash write-off tempered the impact of a more significant underlying reduction in our direct cost of goods sold, which was driven by our reduced product sales.
Cost of charging services (electricity reimbursements) increased by $1,911, or 73%, to $4,524 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2,613 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in 2025 was attributable to the mix of charging stations generating charging service revenues subject to electricity reimbursement.
Host provider fees increased by $4,795, or 37%, to $17,665 during the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $12,870 during the year ended December 31, 2024. This increase was a result of the increased number and mix of chargers generating revenue and their corresponding revenue share percentage payments to Property Partner hosts pursuant to their agreements.
Network costs decreased by $145, or 6%, to $2,254 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2,399 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was a result of the change to the more cost-effective provider of the network facility.
Warranty and repairs and maintenance costs increased by $936, or 36%, to $3,538 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $2,602 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The increase in 2025 was attributable to significant efforts expended to reduce the backlog in warranty and repairs and maintenance cases in the field, and also in a strategic move to outsource the warranty and repairs services. As of December 31, 2025, we recorded a liability of $263 which represents the estimated cost of existing backlog of known warranty cases.
Depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1,588, or 28%, to $4,055 for the year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $5,643 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in depreciation expense was attributable to an increase in grant funding that is presented as an offset to the depreciation expense, and the decrease in the number of vehicles associated with the ride-share services.
Operating Expenses
Compensation expense decreased by $9,187, or 16%, to $49,478 (consisting of approximately $46,714 of cash compensation and approximately $2,764 of non-cash compensation) for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to $58,665 (consisting of approximately $55,140 of cash compensation and approximately $3,525 of non-cash compensation) for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease in compensation expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 was primarily related to decreases in personnel and compensation across all of the departments as a result of the BlinkForward Initiative, and the cost savings and synergies realized.
General and administrative expenses decreased by $2,538, or 8%, from $31,887 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $29,349 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease was primarily attributable to the reduction in external professional services as part of the BlinkForward Initiative noted above, partially offset by an additional provision for doubtful accounts and the expense in bad debt.
Other operating expenses increased by $964, or 5%, from $20,391 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $21,355 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The increase was primarily attributable to higher software related expenses.
Change in fair value of consideration payable decreased by $12,148 due to the gain on settlement of the liability in the 2025 period.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, in connection with performing our annual impairment analysis of our goodwill and intangible assets and determined that the fair value of our reporting units were less than the carrying amount and, as a result, recorded an impairment charge of $17,897 related to goodwill and $762 related to intangible assets during the year ended December 31, 2025 compared to a goodwill impairment charge of $126,984 during the year ended December 31, 2024.
Other Income (Expense)
Other income (expense) decreased by $1,498 from $2,530 for the year ended December 31, 2024 to $1,032 for the year ended December 31, 2025. The decrease in other income (expense) was primarily attributable to a decrease in dividend and interest income of $1,914 and a favorable change of $450 in interest income (expense).
Provision For Income Taxes
Provision for income taxes was $317 during the year ended December 31, 2025, as compared to $656 during the year ended December 31, 2024. The Company’s statutory federal income tax rate for 2025 and 2024 was 21%. The Company’s effective tax rate for 2025 and 2024 was approximately 0.4%. The decrease in the provision for income taxes and the effective tax rate was related to subsidiaries in certain jurisdictions that generated less net income during the year ended December 31, 2025 as compared to the 2024 period.
Net Loss
Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $117,933, or 59%, to $83,385 as compared to $201,318 for the year ended December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in goodwill impairment and additional decreases in compensation and general and administrative expenses, following the execution of the BlinkForward program the year ended December 31, 2025
Total Comprehensive Loss
Our total comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2025 was $86,271 whereas our total comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $204,627, a decrease of $118,356 for the same reasons as noted above related to the decrease in our net loss.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:
| December 31, 2025 | 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Cash and Cash Equivalents | $39,568 | $41,774 |
| Marketable Securities | $- | $13,630 |
| Working Capital | $25,846 | $80,012 |
| Notes Payable | $265 | $265 |
During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we financed our activities from proceeds derived from equity financings which were raised in prior periods. A significant portion of the funds raised from the sale of capital stock has been used to cover working capital needs and personnel, office expenses and various consulting and professional fees.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, we used cash of $30,857 and $48,291, respectively, in our operations. Our cash used for the year ended December 31, 2025 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $83,385, which was reduced by net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $39,694, and by $12,834 of net cash used in changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Our cash used for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $201,318, which was reduced by net non-cash expenses in the aggregate amount of $157,523, and by $4,496 of net cash used in changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities
During the year ended December 31, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $8,544, of which $13,630 was provided by the sale of marketable securities and $223 was provided by the sale of an equity method investment, $4,811 was provided by proceeds from government grants, offset by $207 was used as cash consideration for Zemetric (net of cash acquired), $205 of capitalized engineering costs and $9,708 of which was used to purchase charging stations and other fixed assets. During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash provided by investing activities was $5,277, of which, $8,617 was used to purchase charging stations and other fixed assets, offset by $3,425 related to sale of the office building, $1,129 was provided by proceeds from government grants, $1,160 was used in the purchase of marketable securities and $10,500 was provided by the sale of marketable securities.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was $19,267, of which, $36 was used to pay down our liability in connection with a finance lease, repayment of notes payable of $114 and offset by $19,417 provided by offering proceeds related to the sale of common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2024, net cash used in financing activities was $12,419, of which $26,396 was attributable to the net proceeds from the sale of common stock from the public offering, $37,881 was used to pay down notes payable, $596 was used to pay down our finance lease liability and $338 was used to pay down our liability in connection with internal use software.
As of December 31, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $39,568 compared to $41,774 in cash and cash equivalents and $13,630 in marketable securities as of December 31, 2024, representing a decrease of $15,836 in available liquidity due to ongoing operating losses, working capital requirements, and limited cash inflows from operations.
The Company has no agreements, commitments, or understandings with respect to any financing alternatives. Any equity issuance would be dilutive to stockholders.
In December 2025, we completed an underwritten registered public offering of 26,666,666 shares of our common stock at a public offering price of $0.75 per share. We received gross proceeds of $20,000 from the public offering, less underwriting discounts and offering expenses of $1,474, for net proceeds of $18,526. The public offering was made pursuant to our registration statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on December 4, 2025, and final prospectus dated December 10, 2025. H.C. Wainwright & Co. and Roth Capital Partners acted as co-placement agents in connection with the offering.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold an aggregate of 681,330 shares of common stock under an “at-the-market” equity offering program for aggregate gross proceeds of $909, less issuance costs of $18, which were recorded as a reduction to additional paid-in capital.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
We have operating and finance lease obligations over the next five years of approximately $7,691. These operating lease and financing lease obligations are primarily related to corporate office space, warehousing, and parking spaces related to our car-sharing services.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures are in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These accounting principles require us to make estimates and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the periods presented. We believe that the estimates and judgments upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that we make these estimates and judgments. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial results will be affected. The accounting policies that reflect our more significant estimates and judgments and which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results are described below.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.
Management has identified certain critical accounting estimates which are outlined below. In addition, there are other items within our financial statements that require estimation but are not deemed critical, as defined above. Changes in estimates used in these and other items could have a material impact on our financial statements.
Goodwill Impairment
Goodwill is the excess of consideration paid for an acquired entity over the fair value of the amounts assigned to assets acquired, including other identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed in a business combination. To determine the amount of goodwill resulting from a business combination, the Company performs an assessment to determine the acquisition date fair value of the acquired company’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities.
Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on November 1 of each year or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the asset may be impaired. An entity has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether the existence of events or circumstances leads to a determination that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. These qualitative factors include: macroeconomic and industry conditions, cost factors, overall financial performance and other relevant entity-specific events. If the entity determines that this threshold is met, then the Company may apply a one-step quantitative test and record the amount of goodwill impairment as the excess of a reporting unit’s carrying amount over its fair value, not to exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to the reporting unit.
The Company tests goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. The Company identifies the Company’s reporting units by assessing whether the components of the Company constitute businesses for which discrete financial information is available and segment management regularly reviews the operating results of those components. The Company’s goodwill is contained in the Legacy Blink reporting unit resulting from the acquisition of Zemetric in July 2025 and the Mobility reporting unit resulting from the acquisition of Envoy Technologies.
The Company determines fair value through multiple valuation techniques including discounted cash flow models, quoted market values, and third-party independent appraisals and weighs the results accordingly. The Company is required to make certain subjective and complex judgments in assessing whether an event of impairment of goodwill has occurred, including assumptions and estimates used to determine the fair value of its reporting units. Reporting unit fair value estimates include significant assumptions such as: revenue growth rates, operating margins, estimated royalty rates, company-specific risk premiums used in the weighted-average cost of capital, and certain multiples, which are affected by expectations about future market or economic conditions. The Company performs sensitivity analyses on significant assumptions to evaluate how changes in the estimated fair values of reporting units respond to changes in assumptions, specifically the revenue growth rates and the weighted-average cost of capital. The process of evaluating the potential impairment of goodwill is highly subjective and requires significant judgment. Material changes in these estimates, such as our weighted average cost of capital, could occur and result in additional impairment in future periods.
Further, as part of its annual impairment test, the Company determined that the Mobility reporting unit’s carrying value exceeded the estimated fair value. Consequently, the Company recognized an additional goodwill impairment charge of $17,897 during the year ended December 31, 2025.

Market risk
As filed, 953 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Foreign Currency Risk
We have foreign currency risks related to its revenue and operating expenses denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar, primarily the Euro, Indian Rupee and Great British Pound, causing both its revenue and its operating results to be impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates. Gains or losses from the revaluation of certain cash balances, accounts receivable balances and intercompany balances that are denominated in these currencies impact our net loss. A hypothetical decrease in all foreign currencies against the U.S. dollar of 1% would not result in a material foreign currency loss on foreign-denominated balances, as of December 31, 2025. As our foreign operations expand, its results may be more materially impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the currencies in which they do business. At this time, we do not enter into financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency exchange risk.
Controls and procedures
As filed, 10,939 characters, with its headings, lists and tables. Extracted from the main document; charts and exhibits are in the original on sec.gov.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with participation of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on that evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that as a result of the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting as described below in Management’s Annual Report on Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting, the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were ineffective as of December 31, 2025.
Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Policies (“U.S. GAAP”). Using the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013 framework), management of the Company under supervision and participation of the CEO and CFO, conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.
Based on our assessment under the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025 due to the existence of the following material weakness identified:
The Company did not have an effective information and communication component as specified within the COSO framework that identified and assessed the source of and controls necessary to ensure the reliability of information used in financial reporting. As a consequence of this material weakness, the design and operation of process-level controls, financial reporting controls, and information technology controls were determined to be ineffective throughout the Company’s financial reporting processes.
This material weakness creates a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement to the consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. Therefore, we concluded that the deficiency above represents a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting, and our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of December 31, 2025.
Management has been actively engaged in developing and implementing remediation plans to address the material weakness, as described in the section below.
The Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton, LLP, who audited our internal controls over financial reporting, has issued an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, as stated in its report.
Following the identification of the material weakness and prior to filing this Annual Report on Form 10-K, we performed additional analyses and other procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements included in this Annual Report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Our CEO and CFO have concluded that our consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in this Annual Report.
Remediation Plan and Status
During 2025 and continuing into 2026, we continued to make progress on the remediation plans to address previously identified material weaknesses. The Company continues to remediate the remaining material weakness outlined above. The remediation measures are ongoing and include the following:
- Establishing a change process to control access to accounts that can make changes directly to production infrastructure and ensuring the changes made are reviewed post-production;
- Reviewing the use cases for administrative accounts to ensure they are restricted to appropriate users without change management access (i.e. development, migration, etc.);
- Identifying and implementing key controls to address design gaps within the Company’s control environment, particularly for the in-scope business processes;
- Establishing a structured controls testing program to continuously monitor the design and operating effectiveness of key controls.
Management believes that these remediation actions, when fully implemented and tested, will remediate the material weakness that has been identified and will strengthen internal controls over financial reporting. However, remediation efforts are ongoing, and additional remediation initiatives may be necessary to fully remediate. Additionally, Management will be establishing an internal controls team to assist the Company effectively achieve internal controls compliance and provide internal controls training to key control owners. The Audit Committee will continue to be actively engaged and exercise continuous oversight throughout the remediation process.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Except as described above, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over the financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2025 that have materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Directors and Stockholders
Opinion on internal control over financial reporting
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Blink Charging Co. (a Nevada corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, because of the effect of the material weakness described in the following paragraphs on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria, the Company has not maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of control deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting, such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the company’s annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The following material weakness has been identified and included in management’s assessment.
The Company did not have an effective information and communication component as specified within the COSO framework that identified and assessed the source of and controls necessary to ensure the reliability of information used in financial reporting. As a consequence of this material weakness, the design and operation of process-level controls, financial reporting controls, and information technology controls were determined to be ineffective throughout the Company’s financial reporting processes.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025. The material weakness identified above was considered in determining the nature, timing, and extent of audit tests applied in our audit of the 2025 consolidated financial statements, and this report does not affect our report dated March 31, 2026 which expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.
Basis for opinion
The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Annual Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
