Overview
We
are a leading owner, operator, 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 Networks and Blink EV
charging equipment, also known as electric vehicle supply equipment (“EVSE”), and other EV-related services. The Blink Networks
are 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 Networks provide 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 Networks also provide 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 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 Networks. 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 typically 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 Networks. In this model, since
the Property Partner typically 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 Networks, 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 EV car-sharing programs through our wholly owned subsidiary, Blink Mobility. These programs allow
customers to share electric vehicles through subscription services and charge those cars through our charging stations.
As of June 30, 2025, we contracted, sold or deployed 110,828 chargers, of which 88,168 were on Blink Networks (comprised
of 63,312 Level 2 commercial chargers, 1,717 DCFC commercial chargers, 714 residential chargers, and 22,425 chargers pending to
be commissioned). Included on Blink Networks are 7,917 chargers owned by us. The remaining 22,660 were non-networked, on other networks,
international sales, or deployments (comprised of 4,810 Level 2 commercial chargers, 64 DC Fast Charging chargers, 12,639 residential
Level 2 Blink EV chargers, 3,122 sold to other U.S. networks and, 2,025 sold internationally). Blink networked chargers include public
and private chargers, as designated by stations owners, and are net of swap-outs, replacement units, and decommissioned units. Certain
commercial chargers include chargers installed in residential settings for commercial purposes. All chargers, including all international
Blink locations, are categorized based on US Department of Energy guidelines.
As
reflected in our condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents of $25,318, working
capital of $40,491 and an accumulated deficit of $788,521. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we incurred net losses
of $31,959 and $52,666, respectively. We have not yet achieved profitability.
Recent
Developments
Envoy
Technologies, Inc.
Envoy
Technologies, Inc., the Company’s wholly owned electric car share subsidiary, filed a registration statement on Form S-1 to go
public via a proposed direct listing of its common stock with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2025.
23
On August 4, 2025, Envoy Technologies, Inc.
entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Merger Agreement to the by and among the Company, Envoy Mobility, Inc. (formerly Blink
Mobility, LLC) (“Mobility”), Envoy Technologies and Fortis Advisors LLC, as equity holders’ agent.
The Fourth Amendment provides that the sole
remaining payment obligation to the former equity holders of Envoy will be fully satisfied, and the Company and Envoy Mobility will
be released from all claims and liabilities relating to such obligation, following 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. All warrants granted per the agreement have expiration period of 20 months from the date of issuance.
All shares of Company common
stock initially issued or issued pursuant to the exercise of warrants will be subject to a 120-day leak-out period commencing on initial
issuance or exercise of warrant, as applicable, allowing sales limited to 2% per day, with a cap of 20% per month.
The former equity holders of Envoy
Technologies were granted registration rights for shares of Company common stock initially issued and those issued pursuant to the
exercise of warrants. The Company will file a resale registration statement on Form S-1 with the SEC within 30 days of the amendment
date and use commercially reasonable efforts to have it declared effective within 90 days thereafter. The amendment includes
indemnification provisions for both the Company and the former equity holders against claims related to the registration
statement.
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 a performance driven earn-out. Shortly thereafter,
Zemetric’s founder, Harmeet Singh, became the Company’s Chief Technology Officer.
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). Most provisions are effective for tax years beginning
after December 31, 2024, with certain transition rules and exceptions. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the Tax Reform
Act of 2025 on its condensed consolidated financial statements. The effects of the new law, including remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes to current and future tax expense,
will be reflected in the period of enactment and in future periods as the Company completes its analysis.
Product
and Service Offerings
We
offer a variety of EV charging products and services to Property Partners and EV drivers.
EV
Charging Solutions
●
Level 2 . We offer a wide range of Level 2 (AC) EV charging equipment, ideal for commercial and residential use, with the North
American standard J1772 connector, the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector, and the Type 2 connector compatible with electric
vehicles in Europe and across Latin America.
●
Our commercial Level 2 chargers consist of the EQ, HQ, MQ, and IQ 200 families and the Series 4, 6, 7, and 8 families, which are available
in pedestal, wall mount, and pole mount configurations. The MQ and IQ 200, along with the Series 6, 7, and 8 chargers offer an optional
cable management system. Additionally, we offer three residential Level 2 chargers for the Americas: the wall-mounted HQ 200, Series
4, and a smart charging cable, the PQ 150, designed for European markets. Our commercial and residential chargers (except the non-networked
HQ 150) can connect to the Blink Networks or a local network. Level 2 charging stations typically provide a full charge in two to eight
hours. Level 2 chargers are ideally suited for low-cost installations and frequently used parking locations, such as workplaces, multifamily

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, 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 alternative fuel 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 alternative fuel vehicles, and specifically EVs, 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 or future
regulation requiring increased use of nonpolluting 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 operations would be negatively impacted.
Liquidity,
Capital Resources, and Going Concern
As
of June 30, 2025, the Company had cash and cash equivalents of $25,318, compared to $41,774 in cash and cash equivalents and $13,630 in
marketable securities as of December 31, 2024, representing a decrease of $30,086 in available liquidity due to ongoing
operating losses, working capital requirements, and limited cash inflows from operations.
Absent
a near-term capital infusion or significant improvement in cash flow from operations, the Company expects that its current cash resources
will be insufficient to fund operations for the next twelve months. As such, management has concluded that substantial doubt exists about
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year from the date of issuance of these financial statements.
Management
is actively evaluating strategic alternatives, including additional cost-reduction initiatives, asset sales, and potential restructuring
or fundraising opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that any of these efforts will result in additional liquidity or resolve
the Company’s current financial challenges.
The
Company has no agreements, commitments, or understandings with respect to any financing alternatives. Any equity issuance would be dilutive
to stockholders.

Three
Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared With Three Months Ended June 30, 2024
Revenues
Total
revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $4,595, or 14%, to $28,667 compared to $33,262 during the three months
ended June 30, 2024.
Revenue
from product sales was $14,508 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $23,582 during the three months ended June 30,
2024, a decrease of $9,074, or 38%. This decrease was attributable to decreased sales of commercial chargers, DC fast chargers and residential
chargers when compared to the same period in 2024.
Charging
service revenue from Company-owned charging stations was $7,691 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $4,936 for the
three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $2,755 or 56%. The increase is due to the increase in utilization of chargers and an
increased number of chargers on the Blink Networks.
Network
fee revenues were $2,954 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $1,907 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an
increase of $1,047, or 55%. The increase was attributable to increases in host owned units during the three months ended June 30, 2025,
as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Warranty
revenues were $1,582 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $1,340 for the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase
of $242, or 18%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in warranty contracts sold for the three months ended June 30,
2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we recorded a liability of $553 which represents the estimated
cost of existing backlog of warranty cases.
Grant
and rebate revenues were $32 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $52 during the three months ended June 30, 2024,
a decrease of $20, or 38%. Grant and rebates relating to equipment and the related installation are deferred and amortized in a manner
consistent with the depreciation expense of the related assets over their useful lives. The decrease in revenue was primarily related
to the timing of the amortization of previous years’ state grants/rebates associated with the installation of chargers during the
three months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Car-sharing
services revenues were $1,111 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $1,202 during the three months ended June 30,
2024, a decrease of $91, or 8%. These revenues are derived from car-sharing subscription services that tend to fluctuate from time to
time.
Other
revenue increased by $546 or 225% to $789 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $243 for the three months ended June
30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits generated during the three months
ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. We generate these credits from the electricity utilized by our electric car
charging stations as a byproduct from our charging services in the states of California and Oregon.
Cost
of Revenues
Cost
of revenues primarily consists of 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 three months ended June 30, 2025 were $26,573 as compared to $22,549 for
the three months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $4,024 or 18%. There is a degree of variability in our costs in relationship to
our revenues from period to period, primarily due to:
●
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.
Cost
of product sales increased by $2,795 or 20%, from $14,241 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $17,036 for the
three months ended June 30, 2025. The increase was primarily due the adjustment for
excess and obsolete inventory in the amount of
$6,427 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 , the
adjustment for excess and obsolete inventory was comprised of inventory write-offs of $4,571 and $1,856 related to the write-off of
older, incomplete charger deployment proposals . Furthermore, the Company recorded a
loss on disposal of non-performing chargers of $3,856 during the three months ended June 30, 2025. Absent the impact of the
provision for excess and obsolete inventory , the cost of product during the three
months ended June 30, 2025 would have been $10,609, a decrease of $3,632 as a result of the decrease in product sales compared to
the same period in 2024.
Cost
of charging services (electricity reimbursements) increased by $567, or 115%, to $1,062 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as
compared to $495 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in 2025 was attributable to the increased number and mix of
charging stations generating charging service revenues subject to electricity reimbursement.
Host
provider fees increased by $993, or 30%, to $4,275 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $3,282 during the
three months ended June 30, 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 $14 or 2%, to $636 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $650 during the three months ended June
30, 2024.
27
The
costs remained relatively consistent for the three months ended June 30, 2025, despite the increase in revenue. The additions of the
new chargers do not drive proportionally the increase in network costs, and this performance is aligned with our long-term strategy
to improve margins and move toward profitability as we grow network fees revenue.
Warranty
and repairs and maintenance costs increased by $310, or 32%, to $1,291 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $981 during
the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in three months ended June 30, 2025 is attributable to higher rate of charger
failures in the field and backlog of services issues related to the components. The Company is actively working with the suppliers
to address the part quality concerns and implement corrective actions to reduce future failure rates.
Cost
of car-sharing services was $1,066 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $1,284 during the 2024 period. The decrease
was due to a reduction in costs related to vehicles used in this operation during the period.
Depreciation
and amortization expense decreased by $409 or 25%, to $1,207 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $1,616 for the three
months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in depreciation expense was attributable to an increase in the grant revenue 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 $3,882 or 22%, to $13,772 (consisting of approximately $13.0 million of cash compensation and benefits and approximately
$0.8 million of non-cash compensation) for the three months ended June 30, 2025. Compensation expense was $17,654 (consisting of approximately
$16.7 million of cash compensation and benefits and approximately $1.0 million of non-cash compensation) for the three months ended June
30, 2024. The decrease in compensation expense for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared
to the same period in 2024 was primarily related to decreases in personnel and compensation in executive, marketing, sales and operations
departments as a result of cost savings and synergies realized.
General
and administrative expenses increased by $3,805, or 48%, to $11,808 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $8,003 for
the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the difference in the credit loss reserve of $5,387,
offset primarily by the decrease in professional services of $1,569 as we ceased certain research and consulting activities in prior
periods.
Other
operating expenses increased by $1,981, or 40%, to $6,939 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 from $4,958 for the three months
ended June 30, 2024. The increase was attributable to the assets impairment in the amount of $1,732, and $282 for the rent of the
new US facilities.
The
Company recorded a loss on change in fair value of consideration payable related to the Envoy acquisition of $1,784 for the three months
ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $747 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 due to the change in the inputs to the probability-weighted
discounted cash flow model.
Other
Income (Expense)
We
recorded other income of $345 during the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to other income of $754 for the three months ended
June 30, 2024. The decrease in other income was primarily related to a decrease in dividend and interest income of $534 during
the three months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024.
Net
Loss
Our
net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $11,900, or 59%, to $31,959 as compared to $20,059 for the three months
ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in operating expenses, partially offset by a decrease in
gross profit, and a decline in revenues.
Total
Comprehensive Loss
Our
total comprehensive loss for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was $32,638 whereas our total comprehensive loss for the three months
ended June 30, 2024 was $20,459.
28
Six
Months Ended June 30, 2025 Compared With Six Months Ended June 30, 2024
Revenues
Total
revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2025 decreased by $21,409, or 30%, to $49,421 compared to $70,830 during the six months
ended June 30, 2024.
Revenue
from product sales was $22,889 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $51,090 during the six months ended June 30, 2024,
a decrease of $28,201, or 55%. This decrease was attributable to decreased sales of commercial chargers, DC fast chargers and residential
chargers when compared to the same period in 2024.
Charging
service revenue from Company-owned charging stations was $14,471 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $9,963 for the
six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase of $4,508, or 45%. The increase is due to the increase in utilization of chargers and an
increased number of chargers on the Blink Networks.
Network
fee revenues were $5,580 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $3,972 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase
of $1,608, or 40%. The increase was attributable to increases in host owned units during the six months ended June 30, 2025, as compared
to the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Warranty
revenues were $2,537 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $2,293 for the six months ended June 30, 2024, an increase
of $244, or 11%. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in warranty contracts sold for the six months ended June 30,
2025 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2024. As of June 30, 2025, we recorded a liability of $553 which represents the estimated
cost of existing backlog of warranty cases.
Grant
and rebate revenues were $192 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $635 during the six months ended June 30, 2024,
a decrease of $443, or 70%. Grant and rebates relating to equipment and the related installation are deferred and amortized in a manner
consistent with the depreciation expense of the related assets over their useful lives. The decrease in revenue was primarily related
to the timing of the amortization of previous years’ state grants/rebates associated with the installation of chargers during the
six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
Car-sharing
services revenues were $2,286 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $2,299 during the six months ended June 30, 2024,
a decrease of $13, or 1%. These revenues are derived from car-sharing subscription services.
Other
revenue increased by $888 or 154% to $1,466 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $578 for the six months ended June
30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) credits generated during the six months ended
June 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024. We generate these credits from the electricity utilized by our electric car charging
stations as a byproduct from our charging services in the states of California and Oregon.
Cost
of Revenues
Cost
of revenues primarily consists of 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 were $39,958 as compared to $46,698 for the
six months ended June 30, 2024, a decrease of $6,740 or 14%. There is a degree of variability in our costs in relationship to our revenues
from period to period, primarily due to:
●
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.
Cost
of product sales decreased by $8,259, or 27%, from $30,843 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to $22,584 for the six
months ended June 30, 2025. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in product sales,
and coupled with t he increase for the adjustment for excess and obsolete inventory in the amount of $6,427 during the six
months ended June 30, 2025, the adjustment for excess and obsolete inventory was comprised of
inventory write-offs of $4,571 and $1,856 related to the write-off of older, incomplete proposed charger deployments . Furthermore,
the Company recorded a loss on disposal of non-performing chargers of $4,030 during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
Compared to the same period in 2024, the total cost of product sales was $16,157 for the six months ended June 30, 2025. This
represents a decrease of $14,686, or 48% compared to the same period in 2024, absent the impact of the adjustment for excess and
obsolete inventory.
Cost
of charging services (electricity reimbursements) increased by $766, or 64%, to $1,966 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as
compared to $1,200 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase in 2025 was attributable to the increased number and mix of
charging stations generating charging service revenues subject to electricity reimbursement.
Host
provider fees increased by $1,603, or 25%, to $7,927 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $6,324 during the six
months ended June 30, 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 $140 or 11%, to $1,099 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $1,239 during the six months
ended June 30, 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 $545, or 34%, to $2,131 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $1,586 during
the six months ended June 30, 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.
29
Cost
of car-sharing services was $1,751 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $2,146 during the 2024 period. The decrease
was due to a reduction in costs related to vehicles used in this operation during the period.
Depreciation
and amortization expense decreased by $860, or 26%, to $2,500 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $3,360 for the six
months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in depreciation expense was attributable to an increase in the grant revenue 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 $5,290, or 16%, to $27,321 (consisting
of approximately $25.5 million of cash compensation and benefits and approximately $1.8 million of non-cash compensation) for the six
months ended June 30, 2025. Compensation expense was $32,611 (consisting of approximately $30.6.0 million of cash compensation and benefits
and approximately $2.0 million of non-cash compensation) for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The
decrease in compensation expense for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily related to decreases
in personnel and compensation in executive, marketing, sales and operations departments as a result of cost savings and synergies realized.
General
and administrative expenses increased by $4,870, or 31%, to $20,680 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $15,810 for
the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the difference in the credit loss reserve of $6,219,
offset primarily by decreases in legal expenses of $912 and marketing expenditure of $325.
Other operating
expenses increased by $893, or 8%, to $12,289 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 from $11,396 for the six months ended June 30,
2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the assets impairment in the amount of $1,732, offset by the decrease in $731
attributable to website, and various employee-related engagement expenditures .
The
Company recorded a loss on change in fair value of consideration payable related to the Envoy acquisition of $2,463 for the six months
ended June 30, 2025 as compared to $2,447 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 due to the change in the inputs to the probability-weighted
discounted cash flow model.
Other
Income (Expense)
We
recorded other income of $746 during the six months ended June 30, 2025 as compared
to $1,092 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease in other income was primarily related to a decrease of $842 in dividend
and interest income, partially offset by a change in interest income of $488.
Net
Loss
Our
net loss for the six months ended June 30, 2025 increased by $15,434 or 41%, to $52,666
as compared to $37,232 for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to the decline in revenues and gross profits.
Total
Comprehensive Loss
Our

During
the six months ended June 30, 2025, we financed our activities from proceeds derived from equity financings occurring 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 six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, we used cash of $28,524 and $25,735, respectively, in operations. Our cash use for the six
months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $52,666 adjusted for net non-cash expenses in the aggregate
amount of $29,629, partially offset by $5,487 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and liabilities. Our
cash use for the six months ended June 30, 2024, was primarily attributable to our net loss of $37,232, adjusted for net non-cash expenses
in the aggregate amount of $15,163, partially offset by $3,666 of net cash provided by changes in the levels of operating assets and
liabilities.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2025, net cash provided by investing activities was $10,106 of which $13,630 was provided by the sale of
marketable securities and $223 was provided by the sale of an equity method investment, offset by $205 of capitalized engineering costs
and $3,542 of which was used to purchase charging stations and other fixed assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, net cash
used in investing activities was $3,873, of which $8,584 was used to purchase charging stations and other fixed assets, offset by $155
of capitalized engineering costs $634 was used in the purchase of marketable securities, offset by $5,500 provided by the sale of marketable
securities.
During
the six months ended June 30, 2025, cash provided by financing activities was $874, of which, $17 was used to pay down our liability
in connection with a finance lease and offset by $891 provided by offering proceeds related to the sale of common stock. During the six
months ended June 30, 2024, cash used in financing activities was $13,472, of which, $37,881 was used to pay down notes payable, $375
was used to pay down our liability in connection with a finance lease and $286 was used to pay down our liability in connection with
internal use software, partially offset by $25,070 provided by offering proceeds related to the sale of common stock.
As
of June 30, 2025, we had cash and cash equivalents, working capital and an accumulated deficit of $25,318, $40,491 and $788,521, respectively.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net loss of $31,959 and $52,666, respectively.
Historically,
the Company has been able to raise funds to support its business operations. During the six months ended June 30, 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. The Company is required
to file a Form S-1 to issue new equity and raise proceeds in the future.
Management
is actively evaluating strategic alternatives, including additional cost-reduction initiatives, asset sales, and potential restructuring
or fundraising opportunities. However, there can be no assurance that any of these efforts will result in additional liquidity or resolve
the Company’s current financial challenges. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the
Company to complete its development initiatives or attain profitable operations. Lastly, there can be no assurances that these other
initiatives will be achieved.
31
Contractual
Obligations and Commitments
We
have operating and finance lease obligations over the next five years of approximately $9,301. 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.
Our
accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our financial statements
included elsewhere in this quarterly report. For a comprehensive list of our critical accounting estimates, refer to Part II, Item 7,
Critical Accounting Estimates in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. There have been no material changes
to our critical accounting policies and estimates since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2024 except as described below.
Current
Expected Credit Losses
Accounts
receivable has been reduced by an allowance that reflects the current expected credit losses associated with the receivables.
This estimated allowance is based on historical write-offs, current macroeconomic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of
future economic conditions and management’s evaluation of the financial condition of the customer. The Company generally considers
an account past due or delinquent when a student or customer misses a scheduled payment. The Company writes off accounts receivable balances
deemed uncollectible against the allowance for credit losses following the passage of a certain period of time. Management believes that the allowances
are appropriate to cover anticipated losses under current conditions. However, due to the amount and timing of aged receivables, monitoring
of specific customers, and collection efforts by the Company, unexpected changes in the aforementioned or deterioration in economic conditions
could have a material impact on Company’s results of operations.
