EXPLANATORY

NOTE

The registrant is filing this Amendment No. 1 to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (Commission File No. 001-38392) (the “2020 Annual Report”), as filed by the registrant with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 31, 2021. This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K is being filed solely to amend the registrant’s audit report provided by the registrant’s independent registered public accounting firm to include reference to (i) in the first sentence thereof, the balance sheet as of December 31, 2019 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss for the two years ended December 31, 2020, and (ii) in the last sentence of the first paragraph thereof, the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which in each case were inadvertently not included in the auditor’s initial report. In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, new certifications by the registrant’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits to this Amendment. Except as otherwise expressly noted herein, there have been no changes in any of the financial or other disclosure information contained in the 2020 Annual Report. This Amendment does not reflect events occurring after the filing of the original report (i.e., those events occurring after March 31, 2021) or modify or update those disclosures that may be affected by subsequent events. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the 2020 Annual Report and the registrant’s other filings with the SEC.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Blink Charging Co. and Subsidiaries


Opinionon the Financial Statements


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Blink Charging Co. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations, consolidated statements of comprehensive loss, changes in stockholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2020, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.


Basisfor Opinion


These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“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 audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

CriticalAudit Matters

Critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved or especially challenging, subjective or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical audit matters.
