WARRANTY PAYABLE

 

The Company provides a limited product warranty against defects in materials and workmanship for its Blink Network residential and commercial chargers, ranging in length from one to two years. The Company accrues for estimated warranty costs at the time of revenue recognition and records the expense of such accrued liabilities as a component of cost of sales. Estimated warranty costs are based on known warranty issues and anticipated warranty costs. Should actual cost to repair and failure rates differ significantly from estimates, the impact of these unforeseen costs would be recorded as a change in estimate in the period identified. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the change in reserve was approximately $(2,000). Warranty expenses for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 were $120,412 and $187,016, respectively, which has been included within cost of revenues on the consolidated statement of operations.
