6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
JOINT VENTURE
The Company and a group of Cyprus entities entered into a shareholders’ agreement on February 11, 2019, pertaining to the parties’ respective shareholdings in a new joint venture entity, Blink Charging Europe Ltd. (the “Entity”), that was formed under the laws of Cyprus on the same date. The Company owns % of the Entity while the other three parties own % of the Entity. Subsequently, two of the three other parties exited the joint venture, and the remaining other party acquired the ownership of the exiting parties. The Entity currently owns 100% of a Greek subsidiary, Blink Charging Hellas SA (“Hellas”), which operates in the electric vehicle market in Greece. The obligation to fund the future operations of the Entity is limited to the Company’s % ownership. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company did not recognize any sales to Hellas. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company had a payable of approximately $0 and $129, respectively, to Hellas. Furthermore, the Company has provided working capital of $274 through September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 to Hellas. The Company has written off this working capital contribution, since Company’s proportion of Hellas’s net losses exceed the working capital contribution.
The Company determined that the Entity is a variable interest entity; however, the Company does not have a controlling financial interest and, as a result, the Company is not required to consolidate the Entity and instead has applied equity method accounting to its investment in the Entity. From inception through September 30, 2025, the Entity has not generated net income and, as a result, pursuant to ASC 323, the Company has not recorded a gain or loss on its equity method investment in the Entity during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
In May 2025, the Company sold its equity interest in the Entity and recorded a gain on sale of investment of $223, which was included within general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
