Common Stock

EzFill Holdings, Inc.

This is a firm commitment public offering of our common stock. We have assumed a public offering price of $2.36 per share, based on the last reported sale price of our common stock on May 1, 2024.

CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements reflect our current view about future events. When used in this prospectus, the words “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “future,” “intend,” “plan,” or the negative of these terms and similar expressions, as they relate to us or our management, identify forward-looking statements. Such statements include, but are not limited to, statements contained in this prospectus relating to our business strategy, our future operating results and liquidity and capital resources outlook. Forward-looking statements are based on our current expectations and assumptions regarding our business, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward–looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict. Our actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements. They are neither statements of historical fact nor guarantees of assurance of future performance. We caution you therefore against relying on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, without limitation, our ability to raise capital to fund continuing operations; our ability to protect our intellectual property rights; the impact of any infringement actions or other litigation brought against us; competition from other providers and products; our ability to develop and commercialize products and services; changes in government regulation; our ability to complete capital raising transactions; and other factors (including the risks contained in the section of this prospectus entitled “Risk Factors”) relating to our industry, our operations and results of operations. Actual results may differ significantly from those anticipated, believed, estimated, expected, intended or planned.

Factors or events that could cause our actual results to differ may emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict all of them. We cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements.

Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this prospectus assumes no exercise by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional shares of common stock or the exercise of any Representative Warrants.

RISK FACTORS

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information provided to you in this document, including information in the section of this document entitled “Information Regarding Forward Looking Statements.”

Our business, financial condition or operating results could be materially adversely affected by any of these risks. In such case, the trading price of our common stock could decline, and our stockholders may lose all or part of their investment in our securities.

Risks Related to Our Business

We will require substantial additional capital to support our operations and growth plans, and such capital may not be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all. This could hamper our growth and adversely affect our business.

Revenues generated from our operations are not presently sufficient to sustain our operations and our current liabilities substantially exceeded our current assets as of December 31, 2023. Therefore, we will need to raise additional capital in the future to continue our operations. We anticipate that our principal sources of liquidity will only be sufficient to fund our activities through May 31, 2024. In order to have sufficient cash to fund our operations beyond May 31, 2024, we will need to raise additional equity or debt capital. There can be no assurance that additional funds will be available when needed from any source or, if available, will be available on terms that are acceptable to us. We will be required to pursue sources of additional capital through various means, including debt or equity financings. Future financings through equity investments are likely to be dilutive to existing stockholders. Also, the terms of securities we may issue in future capital transactions may be more favorable for new investors. Newly issued securities may include preferences, superior voting rights, the issuance of warrants or other derivative securities, and the issuances of incentive awards under equity employee incentive plans, which may have additional dilutive effects. Further, we may incur substantial costs in pursuing future capital and/or financing, including investment banking fees, legal fees, accounting fees, printing and distribution expenses and other costs. We may also be required to recognize non-cash expenses in connection with certain securities we may issue, such as convertible notes and warrants, which will adversely impact our financial condition. Our ability to obtain needed financing may be impaired by such factors as the capital markets and our history of losses, which could impact the availability or cost of future financings. If the amount of capital we are able to raise from financing activities, together with our revenues from operations, is not sufficient to satisfy our capital needs, even to the extent that we reduce our operations accordingly, we may be required to curtail or cease operations.

Uncertain geopolitical conditions could adversely affect our results of operations.

Uncertain geopolitical conditions, including the war in Israel and invasion of Ukraine, sanctions, and other potential impacts on this region’s economic environment and currencies, may cause demand for our products and services to be volatile, cause abrupt changes in our customers’ buying patterns, and interrupt our ability to supply products or limit customers’ access to financial resources and ability to satisfy obligations to us. Specifically, terrorist attacks, the outbreak of war, or the existence of international hostilities could damage the world economy, adversely affect the availability of and demand for crude oil and petroleum products and adversely affect both the price of our fuel and our ability to obtain fuel.

Operating and litigation risks may not be covered by insurance.

Our operations are subject to all of the operating hazards and risks normally incidental to handling, storing, transporting and otherwise providing combustible liquids such as gasoline for use by consumers. These risks could result in substantial losses due to personal injury and/or loss of life, and severe damage to and destruction of property and equipment arising from explosions and other catastrophic events, including acts of terrorism. Additionally, environmental contamination could result in future legal proceedings. There can be no assurance that our insurance coverage will be adequate to protect us from all material expenses related to pending and future claims or that such levels of insurance would be available in the future at economical prices. Moreover, defense and settlement costs may be substantial, even with respect to claims and investigations that have no merit. If we cannot resolve these matters favorably, our business, financial condition, results of operations and future prospects may be materially adversely affected.

Future climate change laws and regulations and the market response to these changes may negatively impact our operations.

Increased regulation of greenhouse (GHG) emissions, from products such as petroleum and diesel, could impose significant additional costs on us, our suppliers, and our customers. Some states have adopted laws and regulations regulating the emission of GHGs for some industry sectors. Mandatory reporting by our customers and suppliers could have an effect on our operations or financial condition.

The adoption of additional federal or state climate change legislation or regulatory programs to reduce emissions of GHGs could also require us or our suppliers to incur increased capital and operating costs, with resulting impact on product price and demand. The impact of new legislation and regulations will depend on a number of factors, including (i) which industry sectors would be impacted, (ii) the timing of required compliance, (iii) the overall GHG emissions cap level, (iv) the allocation of emission allowances to specific sources, and (v) the costs and opportunities associated with compliance. At this time, we cannot predict the effect that climate change regulation may have on our business, financial condition or operations in the future.

Our auditors have included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion regarding our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to continue as a going concern, our securities will have little or no value.

M&K CPA’s, PLLC, our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, has included an explanatory paragraph in their opinion that accompanies our audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023, indicating that our current liquidity position raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. If we are unable to improve our liquidity position, we may not be able to continue as a going concern.

We anticipate that we will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations through the foreseeable future. As further set forth above, we anticipate that we will need significant additional capital by May 31, 2024, or we may be required to curtail or cease operations.

If we are unable to protect our information technology systems against service interruption, misappropriation of data, or breaches of security resulting from cyber security attacks or other events, or we encounter other unforeseen difficulties in the operation of our information technology systems, our operations could be disrupted, our business and reputation may suffer, and our internal controls could be adversely affected.

In the ordinary course of business, we rely on information technology systems, including the Internet and third-party hosted services, to support a variety of business processes and activities and to store sensitive data, including (i) intellectual property, (ii) our proprietary business information and that of our suppliers and business partners, (iii) personally identifiable information of our customers and employees, and (iv) data with respect to invoicing and the collection of payments, accounting, procurement, and supply chain activities. In addition, we rely on our information technology systems to process financial information and results of operations for internal reporting purposes and to comply with financial reporting, legal, and tax requirements. Despite our security measures, our information technology systems may be vulnerable to attacks by hackers or breached due to employee error, malfeasance, sabotage, or other disruptions. A loss of our information technology systems, or temporary interruptions in the operation of our information technology systems, misappropriation of data, or breaches of security could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, and reputation.

Moreover, the efficient execution of our business is dependent upon the proper functioning of our internal systems. Any significant failure or malfunction of this information technology system may result in disruptions of our operations. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if we encounter unforeseen problems with respect to the operation of this system.

High fuel prices can lead to customer conservation and attrition, resulting in reduced demand for our product.

Prices for fuel are subject to volatile fluctuations in response to changes in supply and other market conditions. During periods of high fuel costs our prices generally increase. High prices can lead to customer conservation and attrition, resulting in reduced demand for our product.

Low fuel prices may also result in less demand for our product.

Low fuel prices may lead to us being unable to attract customers due to the fact that we charge a delivery price that may make our pricing less competitive.

Changes in commodity market prices may have a negative effect on our gross margin.

Our current fuel supplier agreements set terms and establishes formulas based on Oil Price Information Service (OPIS) pricing as of the time of wholesale acquisition, and we do not store inventory. OPIS is a leading source for worldwide petroleum pricing. There is a mark-up for retail fuel prices above wholesale cost, per standard practice in the retail fuel distribution model. Cost of goods sold includes direct labor, including drivers. Our gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreases as a result of increase in fuel costs.

The decline of the retail fuel market may impact our potential to get new customers.

The retail gasoline industry has been declining over the past several years, with no or modest growth or decline in total demand foreseen in the next several years. Accordingly, we expect that year-to-year industry volumes will be principally affected by weather patterns. Therefore, our ability to grow within the industry is dependent on our ability to acquire other retail distributors and to achieve internal growth, which includes the success of our sales and marketing programs designed to attract and retain customers. Any failure to retain and grow our customer base would have an adverse effect on our results.

Competition in the fuel delivery industry may negatively impact our operations.

We compete with other mobile fuel delivery companies nationwide. There is little to no barrier to entry and therefore, our competition in the industry may grow. Our ability to compete in our current markets and expand to new markets may be negatively impacted by our competitors’ successes. Additionally, fuel competes with other sources of energy, some of which are less costly on an equivalent energy basis. In addition, we cannot predict the effect that the development of alternative energy sources might have on our operations. We compete for customers against suppliers of electricity. Electricity is becoming a competitor of fuel. The convenience and efficiency of electricity make it an attractive energy source for vehicle drivers. The expansion of the electric vehicle industry may have a negative impact on our customer base.

Our trucks transport hazardous flammable fuel, which may cause environmental damage and liability to us.

Due to the hazardous nature and flammability of our product, we face the risk of a simple accident causing serious damage to life and property. Additionally, a spill of our product may result in environmental damage, the liability for which our Company may not be able to overcome. If we are involved in a spill, leak, fire, explosion or other accident involving hazardous substances or if there are releases of fuel or fuel products we own or are transporting, our operations could be disrupted and we could be subject to material liabilities, such as the cost of investigating and remediating contaminated properties or claims by customers, employees or others who may have been injured, or whose property may have been damaged. These liabilities, to the extent not covered by insurance, could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Some environmental laws impose strict liability, which means we could have liability without regard to whether we were negligent or at fault.

In addition, compliance with existing and future environmental laws regulating fuel storage terminals, fuel delivery vessels and/or storage tanks that we own or operate may require significant capital expenditures and increased operating and maintenance costs. The remediation and other costs required to clean up or treat contaminated sites could be substantial and may not be covered by insurance.

Our cash flow and net income may decrease if we are forced to comply with new governmental regulation surrounding the transportation of fuel.

We are subject to various federal, state, and local safety, health, transportation, and environmental laws and regulations governing the storage, distribution, and transportation of fuel. It is possible we will incur increased costs as a result of complying with new safety, health, transportation and environmental regulations and such costs will reduce our net income. It is also possible that material environmental liabilities will be incurred, including those relating to claims for damages to property and persons.

Our current dependence on a single fuel supplier increases our risk of an interruption in fuel supply, impacting our operations.

Although we are in the process of establishing other sources, we currently purchase almost all of our fuel needs from two principal suppliers in Florida. We do not have a written agreement with the largest supplier, and as such, if fuel from this source was interrupted, the cost of procuring replacement fuel and transporting that fuel from alternative locations might be materially higher and, at least on a short-term basis, our earnings could be negatively affected. This supplier is also a shareholder in the Company.

Our profitability is subject to fuel pricing and inventory risk.

The retail fuel business is a “margin-based” business in which gross profits are dependent upon the excess of the sales price over the fuel supply costs. Fuel is a commodity, and, as such, its unit price is subject to volatile fluctuations in response to changes in supply or other market conditions. We have no control over supplies, commodity prices or market conditions. Consequently, the unit price of the fuel that we and other marketers purchase can change rapidly over a short period of time, including daily.

Loss of a major customer could result in a decrease in our future sales and earnings.

In any given quarter or year, sales of our products may be concentrated in a few major customers. We anticipate that a limited number of customers in any given period may account for a substantial portion of our total net revenue for the foreseeable future. The business risks associated with this concentration, including increased credit risks for these and other customers and the possibility of related bad debt write-offs, could negatively affect our margins and profits. Additionally, the Company does not have any long-term agreements with its customers. All customer agreements are cancelable at any time by either party and as such there cannot be any assurance that any customer will continue to use the Company’s services. The loss of a major customer, whether through competition or consolidation, or a termination in sales to any major customer, could result in a decrease of our future sales and earnings.

We operate in a new industry segment and may be subject to new and existing laws, regulations and oversight

The Company operates in a new industry segment, on-demand mobile fuel delivery, in which new state and local law adoptions are occurring. Effective December 31, 2020, Florida adopted Florida Fire Prevention Code (“Code”) Section 42.12 recognizing and setting various requirements for the consumer on-demand mobile fuel delivery business. Permitting authority is contemplated under an “Authority Having Jurisdiction” (“AHJ”). Other pre-existing Code provisions similarly contemplate AHJ permitting for commercial mobile fueling. Miami-Dade County, where most of our business is conducted, adopted the Code by reference. Unlike some other states and counties, neither Florida nor Miami-Dade County have designated an AHJ for mobile fueling. Miami-Dade’s extensive permitting and fee schedule does not contemplate or assert permitting authority over mobile fueling, consumer or commercial. We may be subject to oversight, including audits, in existing or future areas of operation. If we cannot comply with the Code, or County, State or Federal rules and regulations or the laws, rules and regulations or oversight in areas in which we currently operate or may seek to operate, we could lose the ability to service those areas and our earnings could be affected.

Our License Agreement with Fuel Butler may be terminated and as such our expansion plans into the state of New York may be delayed

On April 7, 2021, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Fuel Butler LLC (“Technology Agreement”). Under the Technology Agreement, the Company licensed proprietary technology that the Company believes will allow the Company to provide its fuel service in high density areas like New York City. Fuel Butler has delivered a purported notice of termination of the Technology Agreement based on certain alleged breaches arising from our failure to issue equity securities to Fuel Butler. We have been in communications with Fuel Butler regarding the termination of the Technology Agreement and continue to believe that the Company is in compliance with the Technology Agreement and that the Technology Agreement continues to be in force. While we contest Fuel Butler’s claims of breach and contend that in fact Fuel Butler is in breach, we have communicated to Fuel Butler that we wish to terminate the Technology Agreement. We have sent a proposal to Fuel Butler whereby we will cease utilizing the Technology and Fuel Butler will return any shares it received under the Technology Agreement. However, to date, the Company has not had further communications with Fuel Butler regarding this matter. Currently, the Company does not expect to expand into the state of New York for the foreseeable future.

Risks Related to the Pending Acquisition of NextNRG

Neither the Company’s board of directors nor any committee thereof obtained a fairness opinion (or any similar report or appraisal) in determining whether or not to pursue the acquisition of NextNRG, which is owned by the Company’s largest shareholder. Consequently, you have no assurance from an independent source that the price the Company is paying for NextNRG is fair to the Company — and, by extension, its securityholders — from a financial point of view.

Neither the Company’s board of directors nor any committee thereof is required to obtain an opinion (or any similar report) from an independent investment banking or accounting firm that the price that the Company is paying for NextNRG is fair to the Company from a financial point of view, although pursuant to Nasdaq Rule 5630 the Company is required to conduct an appropriate review and oversight of all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis by the Company’s audit committee or another independent body of the board of directors. In analyzing the acquisition of NextNRG, the Company’s board of directors reviewed summaries of due diligence results and financial analyses prepared by management. The Company’s board of directors also consulted with legal counsel and with the Company management and considered a number of factors, uncertainty and risks and concluded that the acquisition of NextNRG was in the best interest of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s board of directors believes that because of the professional experience and background of its directors, it was qualified to conclude that the acquisition of NextNRG was fair from a financial perspective to its stockholders. Accordingly, investors will be relying solely on the judgment of the Company’s board of directors in valuing NextNRG, and the Company’s board of directors may not have properly valued such acquisition. As a result, the terms may not be fair from a financial point of view to the public stockholders of the Company.

If the conditions to completion of the Share Exchange are not met, the Share Exchange may not occur.

Although the Share Exchange was approved by the stockholders of the Company and the members of NextNRG, specified conditions must be satisfied or waived to complete the Share Exchange. These conditions are described in detail in the Exchange Agreement and in addition to stockholder and member consent, include among other requirements, (i) receipt of requisite regulatory approvals and no law or order preventing the transactions, (ii) the representations and warranties of the representative of the members of NextNRG and of such members being true and correct as of the date of the Exchange Agreement and as of the Closing in all material respects, (iii) the Company having amended its Certificate of Incorporation to increase its authorized share capital and having completed and filed a listing of additional securities with Nasdaq and the waiting period thereunder shall have expired, and the Company shall have completed such additional requirements of Nasdaq such that the Share Exchange may be consummated in compliance with the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, (iv) no Material Adverse Effect with respect to NextNRG, (v) the members of the post-Closing board being elected or appointed, and (vi) NextNRG shall have provided to the Company audited financial statements for NextNRG and related auditor reports thereon from a Public Company Accounting Oversight Board-registered auditor, which consents to the inclusion of its statements in SEC public filings, for each of the two most recently ended fiscal years and any other period audited or unaudited but reviewed financials are required to be included in the Company’s SEC filings following the closing pursuant to applicable law, and unaudited statements for any other required interim periods. The Company and NextNRG cannot assure you that all of the conditions will be satisfied. If the conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Share Exchange may not occur, or may be delayed and such delay may cause the Company and NextNRG to each lose some or all of the intended benefits of the Share Exchange.

The Share Exchange, if it is completed, will result in significant dilution to the Company’s stockholders.

Pursuant to the Share Exchange, the Company will issue up to an aggregate of 100,000,000 shares of common stock to the Members of NextNRG, including 35-65 million shares that will be subject to vesting or forfeiture (see “Prospectus Summary”) pursuant to future milestones. Based on 4,812,192 shares of common stock outstanding as of May 1, 2024 and assuming (i) the issuance of 6,355,932 shares in this offering and (ii) the issuance of all 100,000,000 shares pursuant to the Share Exchange, following this offering and the closing of the Share Exchange, the Company will have 111,168,124 shares of common stock issued and outstanding. Of such shares, 6,355,932 shares (5.7%) will be beneficially owned by investors in this offering, 601,931 shares (0.5%) will be beneficially owned by current officers and directors of the Company, 101,171,567 shares (91.0%) will be beneficially owned by the Members of NextNRG (including shares held by entities controlled by Michael Farkas, the Chief Executive Officer of NextNRG), and 3,039,694 shares (2.7%) will be beneficially owned by other current shareholders of the Company.

In addition, in connection with the approval of the Share Exchange our stockholders have approved an increase in the number of shares that may be issued under our equity incentive plan from 900,000 shares to 2.9 million shares. Issuance of awards regarding such additional shares will result in further dilution to stockholders, including investors in this offering.

NextNRG has a very limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its business and prospects.

NextNRG has a very limited operating history, which makes it difficult to evaluate its business and prospects or forecast its future results. NextNRG is subject to the same risks and uncertainties frequently encountered by new companies in rapidly evolving markets. NextNRG’s financial results in any given quarter can be influenced by numerous factors, many of which it is unable to predict or are outside of its control, including:

To date, NextNRG has not generated significant revenues or achieved profitability, and may never generate significant revenues or become profitable.

NextNRG has incurred net losses since inception and may not be able to achieve or maintain profitability in the future. NextNRG’s expenses will likely increase in the future as it develops and launches its products, expands into new markets, increases its sales and marketing efforts and continues to invest in technology. These efforts to grow its business may be more costly than NextNRG expects and may not result in increased revenue or growth in its business. NextNRG will likely be required to make significant capital investments and incur recurring or new costs, and its investments (if any) may not generate sufficient returns and its results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be adversely affected. Any failure to increase revenues sufficiently to keep pace with such investments and other expenses could prevent NextNRG from achieving or maintaining profitability or positive cash flow on a consistent basis or at all. If NextNRG is unable to successfully address these risks and challenges as it encounters them, its business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be adversely affected. If it is unable to generate adequate revenue growth and manage expenses, NextNRG may continue to incur net losses in the future, which may be substantial, and it may never be able to achieve or maintain profitability. NextNRG also expects its costs and expenses to increase in future periods, which could negatively affect future results of operations if revenues do not increase. In particular, NextNRG intends to continue to expend significant funds to further develop its technology. Furthermore, if NextNRG’s future growth and operating performance fail to meet investor or analyst expectations, or if it has future negative cash flow or losses resulting from investment in technology or expanding operations, this could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.

The market for NextNRG’s platform and services may not be as large as NextNRG believes it to be.

We believe the market for our values-aligned platform is substantial, but it is still relatively new, and it is uncertain to what extent or how widespread market acceptance of our platform will be or how long such acceptance, if achieved, may be sustained. Our success will depend on the willingness of people to widely adopt the NextNRG experience, values and the products and services that we offer through our platform. If the public does not perceive our products and services sold through our platform to be beneficial, or chooses not to adopt them as a result of concerns regarding privacy, accessibility, or for other reasons, including an unwillingness to confirm that they respect our five core values or as a result of negative incidents or experiences they encounter through our platform, or instead opt to use alternatives to our platform, then the market for our platform may not continue to grow, may grow slower than we expect, or may not achieve the growth potential we expect, any of which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

NextNRG has limited experience with respect to determining the optimal prices and pricing structures for its products and services, which may impact its financial results.

NextNRG expects that it may need to change its pricing model from time to time, including as a result of competition, global economic conditions, changes in product mix or pricing studies. Similarly, as NextNRG introduces new products and services, it may have difficulty determining the appropriate price structure for future products and services, including because we may pursue business lines or enter markets in which NextNRG’s current management team has limited prior experience. In addition, as new and existing competitors introduce new products or services that compete with NextNRG’s, or revise their pricing structures, it may be unable to attract new customers at the same price or based on the same pricing model as it has used historically. As a result, NextNRG may be required from time to time to revise its pricing structure or reduce prices, which could adversely affect its business, operating results, and financial condition.

NextNRG is in a highly competitive EV charging services industry and there can be no assurance that it will be able to compete with many of its competitors which are larger and have greater financial resources.

NextNRG faces strong competition from competitors in the EV charging services industry, including competitors who could duplicate its model. Many of these competitors may have substantially greater financial, marketing and development resources and other capabilities than NextNRG. In addition, there are very few barriers to entry into the market for its services. There can be no assurance, therefore, that any of NextNRG’s current and future competitors, many of whom may have far greater resources, will not independently develop services that are substantially equivalent or superior to its services.

NextNRG’s competitors may be able to provide customers with different or greater capabilities or benefits than it can provide in areas such as technical qualifications, past contract performance, geographic presence and driver price. Further, many of its competitors may be able to utilize substantially greater resources and economies of scale to develop competing products and technologies, divert sales away from NextNRG by winning broader contracts or hire away our employees by offering more lucrative compensation packages. In the event that the market for EV charging stations expands, NextNRG expects that competition will intensify as additional competitors enter the market and current competitors expand their product lines. In order to secure contracts successfully when competing with larger, well-financed companies, NextNRG may be forced to agree to contractual terms that provide for lower aggregate payments to it over the life of the contract, which could adversely affect its margins. NextNRG’s failure to compete effectively with respect to any of these or other factors could have a material adverse effect on its business, prospects, financial condition or operating results.

NextNRG’s revenue growth ultimately depends on consumers’ willingness to adopt electric vehicles in a market which is still in its early stages.

NextNRG’s growth is highly dependent upon the adoption by consumers of EVs, and it is subject to a risk of any reduced demand for EVs. If the market for EVs does not gain broader market acceptance or develops slower than expected, NextNRG’s business, prospects, financial condition and operating results will be harmed. The market for alternative fuel 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:

The influence of any of the factors described above may negatively impact the widespread consumer adoption of EVs, which would materially and adversely affect NextNRG’s business, operating results, financial condition and prospects.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock and this Offering

Our stock price is expected to fluctuate significantly.

Our common stock was approved for listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “EZFL” and began trading on September 15, 2021. There can be no assurance that an active trading market for our shares will be sustained. The market price of shares of our common stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control, including:

These and other market and industry factors may cause the market price and demand for our common stock to fluctuate substantially, regardless of our actual operating performance, which may limit or prevent investors from readily selling their shares of common stock and may otherwise negatively affect the liquidity of our common stock. In addition, the stock market in general has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have often been unrelated to or disproportionate to the operating performance of the Company.

A significant percentage of the Company’s common stock is held by a small number of shareholders.

One beneficial owner controls approximately 24% of our outstanding common stock as of May 1, 2024, and our officers and directors beneficially own approximately an additional 13% of our outstanding common stock. As a result, these shareholders are able to influence the outcome of shareholder votes on various matters, including the election of directors and extraordinary corporate transactions, including business combinations. In addition, the conversion of existing convertible notes, occurrence of sales of a large number of shares of our common stock, or the perception that these conversions or sales could occur, may affect our stock price and could impair our ability to obtain capital through an offering of equity securities. Furthermore, the current ratios of ownership of our common stock reduce the public float and liquidity of our common stock, which can in turn affect the market price of our common stock.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation includes an exclusive forum provision that identifies the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware as the exclusive forum for certain litigation, including any derivative actions, which could limit our stockholders’ ability to obtain a favorable judicial forum for disputes with us, our directors, officers or employees.

Our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company; (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders; (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company arising pursuant to any provision of the General Corporation Law of Delaware, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or the Bylaws of the Company; or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine. To the extent that any such claims may be based upon federal law claims, Section 27 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, creates exclusive federal jurisdiction over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, Section 22 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, provides for concurrent jurisdiction for federal and state courts over all suits brought to enforce any duty or liability created by the Securities Act or the rules and regulations thereunder, and as such, the exclusive jurisdiction clauses of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation would not apply to such suits. The choice of forum provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation may limit a stockholder’s ability to bring a claim in a judicial forum that it finds favorable for disputes with us or our directors, officers or other employees, which may discourage such lawsuits against us and our directors, officers and other employees. By agreeing to these provisions, however, stockholders will not be deemed to have waived our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. Furthermore, the enforceability of similar choice of forum provisions in other companies’ certificates of incorporation and bylaws has been challenged in legal proceedings, and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. If a court were to find the choice of forum provisions in our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation” to be inapplicable or unenforceable in an action, we may incur additional costs associated with resolving such action in other jurisdictions, which could adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We have never paid dividends on our capital stock, and we do not anticipate paying any dividends in the foreseeable future. Consequently, any gains from an investment in our common stock will likely depend on whether the price of our common stock increases.

We have not paid dividends on any of our classes of capital stock to date and we currently intend to retain our future earnings, if any, to fund the development and growth of our business. In addition, the terms of any future indebtedness we may incur could preclude us from paying dividends. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of our common stock will be your sole source of gain from an investment in our common stock for the foreseeable future. Consequently, in the foreseeable future, you will likely only experience a gain from your investment in our common stock if the price of our common stock increases.

If we fail to comply with the continued listing requirements of NASDAQ, we would face possible delisting, which would result in a limited public market for our shares and make obtaining future debt or equity financing more difficult for us.

On August 22, 2023, the Company received a letter from the Listing Qualifications Staff (the “Staff”) of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC (“Nasdaq”) indicating that the Company’s stockholders’ equity as reported in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2023 (the “Form 10-Q”), did not satisfy the continued listing requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(b)(1), which requires that a listed company’s stockholders’ equity be at least $2,500,000 (the “Equity Rule”). As reported in its Form 10-Q, the Company’s stockholders’ equity as of June 30, 2023 was approximately $1,799,365. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s stockholders’ deficit was ($1,906,206). The Staff’s notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s common stock on Nasdaq.

Upon submission of the Company’s plan to regain compliance, the Staff granted the Company an extension until February 20, 2024 to comply with this requirement.

On February 21, 2024, the Company received a delist determination letter (the “Delist Letter”) from the Staff advising the Company that the Staff had determined that the Company did not meet the terms of the extension. Specifically, the Company did not complete its proposed transaction to regain compliance with the Equity Rule and evidence compliance on or before February 20, 2024.

The Company requested an appeal of the Staff’s determination and such hearing occurred on May 2, 2024. At the hearing, the Company presented its plan for regaining compliance with the Equity Rule and requested a further extension to complete the execution of its plan. The Company expects to receive a determination from Nasdaq as to whether this extension will be granted within approximately two weeks from the hearing date. No assurance can be provided that Nasdaq will ultimately accept the Company’s plan or that the Company will ultimately regain compliance with the Equity Rule. 

If we are unable to achieve and maintain compliance with such listing standards or other Nasdaq listing requirements in the future, we could be subject to suspension and delisting proceedings. A delisting of our common stock and our inability to list on another national securities market could negatively impact us by: (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of our common stock; (ii) reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire our common stock, which could negatively impact our ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting our ability to use certain registration statements to offer and sell freely tradable securities, thereby limiting our ability to access the public capital markets; and (iv) impairing our ability to provide equity incentives to our employees.

We have elected to take advantage of specified reduced disclosure requirements applicable to an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act, the information that we provide to stockholders may be different than they might receive from other public companies.

As a company with less than $1 billion in revenue during our last fiscal year, we qualify as an “emerging growth company” under the JOBS Act. As an emerging growth company, we may take advantage of specified reduced disclosure and other requirements that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include:

We have elected to take advantage of the above-referenced exemptions and we may take advantage of these exemptions for up to five years or such earlier time that we are no longer an emerging growth company. We would cease to be an emerging growth company if we have more than $1 billion in annual revenues, we have more than $700 million in market value of our stock held by non-affiliates, or we issue more than $1 billion of non-convertible debt over a three-year period. We may choose to take advantage of some but not all of these reduced burdens. We have not taken advantage of any of these reduced reporting burdens in this 10K, although we may choose to do so in future filings. If we do, the information that we provide stockholders may be different than you might get from other public companies that comply with public company effective dates.

Additional stock offerings in the future may dilute your percentage ownership of our company.

Given our plans and expectations that we may need additional capital and personnel, we may need to issue additional shares of common stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of common stock, including convertible preferred stock, notes, stock options or warrants. The issuance of additional securities in the future will dilute the percentage ownership of then current stockholders.

You will experience immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering and may experience additional dilution in the future.

You will incur immediate and substantial dilution as a result of this offering. After giving effect to the sale by us of 6,355,932 shares offered in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $2.36 per share, and after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us, investors in this offering can expect an immediate dilution of approximately $1.39 per share. See “Dilution” below for a more detailed discussion of the dilution you will incur if you purchase our common stock in the offering.

Management will have broad discretion as to the use of the proceeds from this offering and may not use the proceeds effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend the proceeds in ways that may not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Our failure to apply these funds effectively could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds of this offering will be approximately $13.3 million (or $15.3 million if the underwriter exercises its over-allotment option in full) after deducting the underwriting discounts and commission and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

We intend to use the net proceeds received from this offering as follows: Approximately $6 million for acquisitions, approximately $920,000 for repayment of debt with an interest rate of 8% and various maturity dates through the remainder of 2024, and the remainder for general corporate purposes, including working capital.

We will retain broad discretion over the use of these proceeds. Pending any use as described above, we intend to invest the net proceeds in high-quality, short-term, interest-bearing securities.

DILUTION

If you invest in our common stock in this offering, your interest will be diluted to the extent of the difference between the assumed public offering price per share of our common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after this offering.

The net tangible book value (negative) of our common stock as of December 31, 2023 was ($2,489,997), or ($0.52) per share of common stock. Net tangible book value per share represents our total tangible assets less our total liabilities, divided by the number of outstanding shares of common stock.

Net tangible book value dilution per share to new investors represents the difference between the amount per share paid by purchasers of common stock in this offering and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common stock immediately after the completion of this offering. After giving effect to our sale of 6,355,932 shares in this offering at an assumed public offering price of $2.36 per share and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, our pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 would have been $10,785,003 or $0.97 per share. This represents an immediate dilution in net tangible book value of $1.39 per share to purchasers of common stock in this offering, as illustrated in the following table:

If the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares in full, pro forma net tangible book value as of December 31, 2023 would increase to $12.843,753 or $1.06 per share, and dilution would be $1.30 per share.

CAPITALIZATION

The following table sets forth our cash and capitalization as of December 31, 2023:

You should read the following table together with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” “Description of Capital Stock,” and the financial statements and related notes appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

The information above is illustrative only and our capitalization following the completion of this offering will be adjusted based on the actual public offering price and other terms of this offering determined at pricing and excludes:

A $0.50 increase (decrease) in the assumed public offering price of $2.36 per share shown on the cover page of this proforma, would increase (decrease) the amount of cash and cash equivalents, additional paid-in capital, total stockholders’ equity (deficit) and total capitalization on a pro forma basis by approximately $2.9 million, assuming the number of shares offered by us, as set forth on the cover page of this prospectus, remains the same and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us. Similarly, each increase (decrease) of one million shares offered by us would increase (decrease) cash and cash equivalents, total stockholders’ equity (deficit) and total capitalization on a pro forma basis by approximately $11.1 million, assuming the assumed public offering price remains the same, and after deducting estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION

AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis summarizes the significant factors affecting the consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows of our Company as of and for the periods presented below. The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes thereto included elsewhere in this prospectus. The discussion contains forward-looking statements that are based on the beliefs of management, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, our management. Actual results could differ materially from those discussed in or implied by forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those discussed below and elsewhere in this prospectus, particularly in the sections titled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements”.

Overview

We were incorporated under the laws of Delaware in March 2019. We are in the business of operating mobile fueling trucks and are headquartered in Miami, Florida. EzFill provides its customers with the ability to have fuel delivered to their vehicles (cars, boats, trucks) without leaving their home or office and to construction sites, generators and reserve tanks.

Our mobile fueling solution gives our fleet, consumer and other customers the ability to fuel their vehicles with the touch of an app or regularly scheduled service, and without the inconvenience of going to the gas station.

On April 27, 2023, the Company executed a 1-for-8 reverse stock split and decreased the number of shares of its authorized common stock from 500,000,000 shares to 50,000,000 and its preferred stock from 50,000,000 to 5,000,000. As a result, all share activity has been restated as if the reverse stock split had been consummated as of the beginning of the respective period.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S., or GAAP. We have identified certain accounting policies as critical to understanding our financial condition and results of our operations. For a detailed discussion on the application of these and other accounting policies, see the notes to our financial statements included in this prospectus.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth our results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2023, and 2022:

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure which we use in our financial performance analyses. This measure should not be considered a substitute for GAAP-basis measures, nor should it be viewed as a substitute for operating results determined in accordance with GAAP. We believe that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure that excludes the impact of net interest expense, taxes, depreciation, amortization, impairment of goodwill, other intangibles and fixed assets, and stock compensation expense, provides useful supplemental information that is essential to a proper understanding of our financial results. Non-GAAP measures are not formally defined by GAAP, and other entities may use calculation methods that differ from ours for the purposes of calculating Adjusted EBITDA. As a complement to GAAP financial measures, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA assists investors who follow the practice of some investment analysts who adjust GAAP financial measures to exclude items that may obscure underlying performance and distort comparability.

The following is a reconciliation of net loss to the non-GAAP financial measure referred to as Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2023, and 2022:

Revenues

We generated revenues of $23,216,423 for the year ended December 31, 2023, compared to $15,044,721 for the year ended December 31, 2022, an increase of $8,171,702 or 54%. This increase is due to a 39% increase in gallons delivered as well as an increase in the average price per gallon. The additional gallons were in existing as well as new markets.

Cost of sales was $21,845,574 for the year ended December 31, 2023, resulting in a gross profit of 1,370,849, compared to $(173,513) for the prior year. The $6,627,340 or 44% increase in cost of sales is due to the increase in sales and an increase in labor costs primarily related to the expansion into new markets. Our gross profit improved year over year due to higher fuel revenues as well as increased delivery fees and driver efficiency.

Operating Expenses

We incurred operating expenses of $9,087,223 during the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $15,543,145 during the prior year, a decrease of $6,455,922 or 42%. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in payroll, sales and marketing, insurance, technology, and public company expenses offset by an increase in stock based compensation.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation increased in the current year as a result of the increase in the fleet of delivery vehicles. Amortization decreased in the current year as a result of the impairment of goodwill and other intangible assets recorded in the fourth quarter of 2022.

Impairment of Goodwill, Fixed Assets and Other Intangibles

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recorded impairment of $105,506 related to materials purchased for construction of delivery vehicles to reduce the carrying value to the expected realizable value. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $1,987,500 related to a license of technology for which the Company has proposed termination of the agreement and which was not expected to generate any revenue in 2023. Goodwill was considered impaired, and the Company recognized an impairment loss of $166,838, or the remaining balance of goodwill. This loss was primarily due to the fall in the Company’s stock price and the decrease of the Company’s market capitalization as well as past operating performance. As a consequence, management forecasts were revised, and additional risk factors were applied. The fair value of the intangibles was estimated using a combination of market comparables (level 1 inputs) and expected present value of future cash flows (level 3 inputs) and as a result impairment was recorded for a total of $482,064. Also, the Company recorded an impairment of $258,114 related to materials purchased for construction of delivery vehicles to reduce the carrying value to the expected realizable value

Other Income (Expense)

Interest expense increased in the current year due to increased borrowing for truck purchases.

Net Losses

We sustained a net loss of $10,471,889 for the year ended December 31, 2023, as compared to $17,505,765 for the prior year, a decrease of $7,033,876 or 40% as a result of the above.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash Flow Activities

As of December 31, 2023, we had an accumulated deficit of $(43,317,050). We have incurred net losses since inception and have funded operations primarily through sales of our common stock and issuance of notes payable, including to related parties. As of December 31, 2023, we had $226,985 in cash and investments, as compared to December 31, 2022 when we had $4,186,875 in cash and investments.

Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $(6,643,397) during year ended December 31, 2023, which was made up primarily by the net loss and partially offset by stock compensation of $1,525,146 and depreciation and amortization of $1,108,186 and impairment loss of $105,506 and loss on debt extinguishment – related party of $291,000 and amortization of debt discount of $1,403,244. Net cash used in operating activities was $(11,599,581) for the prior year ended December 31, 2022, which was made up primarily by the net loss and partially offset by stock compensation of $1,412,283 and depreciation and amortization of $1,769,621 and impairment losses of $2,894,516.

Investing Activities

During the year ended December 31, 2023, we provided cash of $2,170,732, during the year ended December 31, 2022 we used cash of $(3,258,417). Investments matured during 2023 of $2,130,116. Also in 2023 we had refunds on prior purchases of fixed assets, primarily delivery trucks of $40,616. Investments matured during 2022 for total proceeds of $1,151,186. We used $321,250 for the acquisition of a fueling business in 2022. We used $3,258,417 for the acquisition of fixed assets, primarily delivery trucks

Financing Activities

We generated $2,632,857 of cash flows from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 including $4,590,600 in new loans for truck purchases, $250,000 loan from a related party, less principal repayments of $3,732,889 and received proceeds from the issuance of common stock from the ATM of $25,308 and recorded related expenses of $25,308.We generated $2,533,589 of cash flows from financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022, including $3,191,308 from new debt borrowings, less $657,719 for the repayment of debt.

Liquidity and Sources of Capital

From inception to December 31, 2023, we have funded our activities through capital contributions from issuances of notes payable and the sale of securities pursuant to the exemption provided by Regulation D, by sale of securities to accredited investors and a public offering. We have also financed truck purchases from manufacturer loans and from our bank line of credit.

Although our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 were prepared under the assumption that we would continue our operations as a going concern, the report of our independent registered public accounting firm that accompanies our financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 contains a going concern qualification in which said firm expressed substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern, based on the financial statements at that time. The Company has sustained a net loss since inception and does not have sufficient revenues and income to fully fund the operations. As a result, the Company has relied on loans from stockholders and others as well as stock sales to fund its activities to date. For the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company had a net loss of $10,471,889. At December 31, 2023, the Company had an accumulated deficit of 45,317,050. We anticipate that we will continue to generate operating losses and use cash in operations through the foreseeable future.

Since inception, the Company’s operations have primarily been funded through proceeds received in equity and debt financings. In September 2021, the Company completed its Initial Public Offering and raised $25,250,000 in net proceeds after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses. The Company anticipates that it will need to raise additional capital, in order to continue to fund its operations. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to obtain funds on commercially acceptable terms, if at all. There is also no assurance that the amount of funds the Company might raise will enable the Company to complete its initiatives or attain profitable operations. The Company’s operating needs include the planned costs to operate its business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. The Company’s future capital requirements and the adequacy of its available funds will depend on many factors, including the Company’s ability to successfully expand to new markets, competition, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies to enhance or complement its product and service offerings. There can be no assurances that, in the event that we require additional financing, such financing will be available on terms which are favorable to us, or at all. If we are unable to raise additional funding to meet our working capital needs in the future, we will be forced to delay or reduce, limit or cease our operations.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Regulation S-K Item 303(a)(4).

BUSINESS

Overview

EzFill is a leading on-demand fuel delivery company in South Florida and the only mobile fueling company that combines on-demand fills and subscription services which fill customer vehicles on routine intervals for the consumer, fleet, marine and other specialty markets. The emergence of the digital technology, GPS-Based / On-Demand consumer deliveries, and the sharp increase in home delivery of products and services during the COVID-era are trends expected to continue in the post-COVID economy. The increased adoption rate of such ‘at home’ or ‘at work’ delivery of products and services has become the method both individual and commercial customers prefer.

EzFill provides customers in South Florida the ability to have fuel delivered to their vehicles (cars, trucks, and specialty vehicles) without having to leave the comfort of their home, office, and job site. EzFill’s app-based platform conveniently brings the gas station to customers with a growing fleet of EzFill-branded, Mobile Fueling Trucks. EzFill’s business verticals align to the high-use, high demand cases in vehicle operations. These are; individual CONSUMERS, COMMERCIAL entities and SPECIALTY vehicle markets.

EzFill Model – Resolving Pain Points in the Consumer and Commercial Fuel Customer Markets

EzFill’s experience in this market indicates that the legacy gas station model is ripe for disruption specifically by a model which works to address major issues with the status of the industry, such as:

●

Sanitary and Touchless. According to a study conducted by the Kymberly Clark Group, the gas station pump handle is the dirtiest surface Americans touch on their way to work. Also, according to a recent study conducted by busbudy.com, gas station pumps have 11,000 times more bacteria than the common household toilet seat, while pump station buttons contain 15,000 times more. In addition to being germ and bacteria infested, a recent article by njtvonline.org highlighted the near impossibility of social distancing at self-service gas stations, further exacerbating the health risks of going to the gas station. Proper social distancing is required to help stop the spread of Covid-19. Our service is a sanitary and touch free way for our customers to get gas. We believe our service eliminates one of the dirtiest and most unhealthy places from our customers once mandatory to-do list.

Our Product Offerings

We provide gas delivery via our Mobile Fueling Trucks in the greater South Florida area as well as in the Tampa and Orlando areas and expect to soon begin fueling in other areas in Florida. Our goal is to service all our customers across all our lines of business at predictable locations during vehicle downtimes. Our fleet currently includes 24 Mobile Fueling Trucks that we utilize to deliver fuel directly to our customers. We have three major lines of business and to our knowledge we are the only company in the space which fuels all three verticals:

1. SERVICING CONSUMERS AT HOME AND AT WORK

We offer residential fueling services to customers who can request a fuel delivery through our app and have fuel delivered directly to their vehicle, from the comfort of their home or apartment building, while they go about their night. We offer convenient weekly schedules to our residential customers, so they can live with the comfort of knowing that they will never be without a full tank of gas when they need it. Additionally, our competitive pricing keeps our residential customers from having to travel out of their neighborhood for lower gas prices. Our residential customers currently pay a delivery fee of $4.99 for each delivery or they have the option to pay $9.99 per month for unlimited deliveries. We may increase these prices in the future. We currently offer delivery to residential customers in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties, as well as the Orlando and Tampa areas, and expect to soon begin deliveries in other parts of Florida. Our service is a great new amenity for condominiums, which has been widely used by residents of the buildings we service and has been enhancing residents’ experience.

Through entering agreements with local and national businesses, we work directly with businesses human resource departments to offer employee perks, and fuel employees’ cars while they are working. This is a creative benefit for employers to offer, enabling their employees to have their cars filled, stress free. Additionally, we work directly with the landlords of corporate office parks to bring the amenity of EzFill to their tenants. Our corporate employee fueling is currently done at competitive prices with no delivery fee. Our corporate office park solution offers benefits to employers and EzFill. Benefits to employers include: (i) a new perk to offer their employees; and (ii) happier employees who do not have to waste precious time going to the gas station. Benefits to EzFill include: (i) multiple deliveries at one location creates efficiencies and cuts operating costs; (ii) the employers serve as “influencers” which reduces our marketing costs for each location; and (iii) push-marketing by the employers also results in more residential consumer fills.

2. SERVICING COMMERCIAL ENTITIES

We partner with and offer national and local businesses who operate fleets an alternative solution for fueling their fleet to reduce the businesses operational costs and improve fleet efficiency. Our solution for fleets helps businesses: (i) save money spent on expensive gas stations; (ii) save money on paying employees to go to gas stations; (iii) eliminate unnecessary wear and tear to Company fleet vehicles on trips to the gas station; (iv) better monitor their gas consumption; (v) eliminate employee mistakes (putting regular gas into a diesel engine); and (vi) prevent theft by employees (customers have reported instances where it was months before they realized their employee was making unauthorized charges on their fleet card). This product offering is sold with zero fees, our fleet customers pay only for the gas they consume. We may charge delivery fees to fleet customers in the future.

3. SERVICING SPECIALTY MARKETS

EzFill delivers fuel directly to other, market-specific personal and commercial vehicles and tanks. In our home market, the prevalence of boats and boat owners was the first specialty market we developed, particular to the south Florida area which is the base of our services. Marina gas stations are some of the highest priced in the country. We offer low prices and pre-scheduling so our marine customers can get affordable fuel whenever they need it. The same is true for the markets which we have targeted to enter. In these markets we find similar, market-specific vehicles which our future customers use for; construction or agricultural purposes, personal or recreational vehicle use, or sporting events where a large concentration of vehicles can be serviced at specific locations.

Customers

In addition to our individual, residential customers, we also have structured relationships with property management companies and builders who co-market our services as a benefit to their residents and allow our trucks to enter their communities to fill vehicle owners at their single family homes, condominiums or apartments. Employers who have offered at-work fueling as a corporate perk have included Ryder, Norwegian Cruise Lines, Carnival Cruise Lines, Royal Caribbean, Telemundo, Loreal, Y Green, and more. Customers we have signed up through our corporate offerings may also be customers of our residential offering. Our services are very flexible, and our residential customers do not have to sign any long-term commitments with us and can decide not to use our service whenever they choose.

Our commercial vertical has serviced the fleets for many national and local businesses, such as a leading national delivery company, a leading national grocer, a leading OEM, Enterprise, Telemundo, Easy Scripts and Air Around the Clock

In our specialty market vertical, we service hundreds of boats at various marinas across Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, as well as boats at customers’ homes. We are a preferred delivery partner for a mobile application with thousands of boat-owner users. We have recently begun developing this line of business and it is growing, mostly through existing customer outreach and strategic partnerships with marinas.

Software Systems, IT, User Interface and Experience

Our software systems provide us with logistical and cost saving efficiencies that allow us to forecast the need for truckloads of fuel to effectively service clusters of customers in a specific area or zip code. At the front end of our system, we employ an app-based approach that provides all our customers with an easy-to-engage user interface and ordering system. Customers are able to select the times and locations of their on-demand or routinely scheduled fills and manage their account on their mobile device or desktop system.

In the back end of our system, we aggregate customer orders based on their location and expected gallon demand for their vehicles. The aggregation of customer orders based on these variables triggers a truckload fill of one of our mobile tankers designated for each of the customer orders our system generates.

Our software and IT systems have been developed and customized in-house to provide cost-saving efficiencies which produce higher margins than traditional, gas station fuel margins.

We are planning to expand our software capabilities using AI and machine learning algorithms that will, among other things, automatically generate outbound “fill reminder” communications to customers based on their recorded usage amounts and time intervals.

Our Market Opportunity

Information provided by Statista indicates that there are about 286 million registered cars in the United States as of Q1 2023. According to the US Energy Information Administration, in 2022 the US used approx. 369 million gallons of fuel per day, with Florida utilizing nearly 21 million gallons per day. According to Statista.com, in 2022, US gas stations produced revenues of roughly 738 billion dollars. EzFill wants to take advantage of the growing number of US drivers and the dwindling number of gas stations by bringing the gas directly to the consumers. We feel that our service is years in the making and solves many problems posed by the legacy gas station. EzFill presents a new way for Americans to get gas: at home, at the office, wherever, on demand.

The on-demand market continues to grow. On-demand companies are operating and growing in the:

EzFill believes that the on-demand market will continue to grow and this growth will benefit its gas delivery model.

We believe our market opportunity is to expand into major MSAs across the continental U.S. with sufficient concentration of business and residential customers. We want to be in locations where people rely heavily on their personal cars to get places. Based on our research, we have identified several major MSAs across the U.S that would be attractive for expansion.

As we expand to a new market, we plan to employ a strategy that has helped us build a strong base of business in our existing market. The strategy we developed begins with sales in our fleet category to build a base of business in the target city, while developing and strengthening our delivery operations. Next, after launch, we secure corporate and landlord agreements to allow us to begin marketing our services to their employees and tenants. These agreements include fueling at large office parks during daytime hours and fueling at residential buildings during nighttime hours.

We generate business through establishing corporate and landlord partnerships, we then leverage companies’ internal communication channels to market directly to their employees or residential tenants. By implementing our digital marketing campaigns as well as placement of our content throughout residential and corporate facilities, we are able to develop greater brand awareness. We coordinate with our partners to set up organic marketing efforts with our brand ambassadors to help increase recognition and assist users with downloading the app and setting up their accounts.

Our Growth Strategy

Our strategy is to leverage our established business partnerships and generate organic methods of acquiring new markets. This has given us significant brand recognition by the consumer and has enabled us to acquire competitor territories. In doing so, we have generated a substantial presence and footprint in the regional area in which we operate. As we continue to develop our business relationships and expand our geographic footprint in Florida, our goal is to open in new markets along the east coast.

EzFill’s current focus is on expanding its geographic footprint. We aim to open in new markets along the east coast in the future both organically and through acquisitions of existing companies in the space. We make our expansion decisions based off of research into optimal target markets where public transportation is less prevalent, leading to more residents owning cars and the areas where a demand for lifestyle improving technology is present. We also consider State/City/County regulations when assessing new areas to expand into. We are targeting high potential locations with the least regulations on mobile fuel delivery.

EzFill currently has strategic partnerships with businesses across industries such as property management, parking solutions services, travel industry, delivery industry, transportation and logistics, marinas, and other diversified business sectors. By establishing these strategic business-to-business relationships, we are able to offer cost effective business solutions, whether through human resource departments as employee perks, optimization of efficiency for fleet companies, or tenant satisfaction by adding amenities.

EzFill believes a strategic partnership with a major oil company will help with our expansion by enabling us to lower cost and attract a larger customer base by selling branded gasoline. However, there cannot be any assurance that EzFill will be able to obtain such a strategic partnership. The oil companies Exxon and Shell are both in the mobile fuel delivery space though investments in mobile fueling companies.

Technology License Agreement

On April 7, 2021, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement with Fuel Butler LLC (“Licensor”), under which the Company licensed certain proprietary technology. Under the terms of the license, the Company issued 33,216 shares of its common stock to the Licensor upon signing. The Company also issued 41,520 shares to the Licensor in May 2021 upon the filing of a patent application related to the licensed technology. Upon completion of the Company’s IPO, 23,251 shares were issued to the Licensor. The Company will issue up to 91,344 additional shares to the Licensor upon the achievement of certain milestones. In addition, the Company has granted stock options for 66,432 shares at an exercise price of $3.76 per share that will become exercisable for three years after the end of the fiscal year in which certain sales levels are achieved using the licensed technology. The Company has the option for four years after the achievement of certain milestones to either acquire the technology or acquire the Licensor for the purchase price of 132,864 of its common shares. Until the Company exercises one of these options, it will share with the Licensor 50% of pre-revenue costs and 50% of the net revenue, as defined, from the use of the technology. Under the Technology Agreement, the Company licensed proprietary technology that it believed would enable the Company to expand its services to provide its fuel service in high density areas. Fuel Butler has delivered a purported notice of termination of the Technology Agreement based on certain alleged breaches arising from our failure to issue equity securities to Fuel Butler. The Company has been in communications with Fuel Butler regarding the termination of the Technology Agreement and continues to believe that the Company is in compliance with the Technology Agreement and that the Technology Agreement continues to be in force. While the Company contests Fuel Butler’s claims of breach and contends that in fact Fuel Butler is in breach, the Company has communicated to Fuel Butler that it wishes to terminate the Technology Agreement. The Company has sent a proposal to Fuel Butler whereby it would cease utilizing the Technology and Fuel Butler would return any shares it received under the Technology Agreement. Accordingly, the Company considers the license to be fully impaired and has fully amortized the license as of December 31, 2022.

Competition

EzFill is a mobile fuel delivery service and competes with other local fuel delivery companies and gas stations. We differentiate ourselves by allowing our customers to request our service via a mobile app and delivering the fuel directly to the end user. We use our innovative technology and excellent concierge service to offer convenient fueling solutions to all our vertical markets at different times of the day to maximize the efficiency of each mobile fueling truck. To our knowledge, there are no significant mobile fueling competitors in the markets we currently serve.

We distinguish ourselves from our competitors by:

Though the electric vehicle industry is growing, we do not consider this relatively new subsegment of the vehicle market a threat to our business model or growth trajectory. The vast majority of vehicles are gas or diesel powered and the entire fuel industry is a major component of the economy. According to way.com 6% of the vehicles sold in the U.S. in 2022 were electric vehicles. However, with the planned acquisition of NextNRG, EzFill hopes to be prepared for the electric future.

Additionally, the continued growth of the electric vehicle industry means more and more traditional gas stations are closing because of: (i) high overhead because of rising real-estate prices; (ii) lack of demand due to electric vehicle adoption; and (iii) their inability to fuel vehicles outside of their station. Our mobile fueling solution allows us to service many zip codes with one truck, so if sales slowdown in one area we are able to transition seamlessly to areas with higher demand.

The NextNRG Acquisition and Perceived Impact on EzFill

The NextNRG transaction discussed below, while approved by our shareholders and management, has not closed yet. EzFill cannot tell you whether the deal will close with any certainty. The discussion below is theoretical and only applicable if the deal closes. Additionally, even if the deal closes, EzFill cannot tell you with any certainty that it will be able to properly integrate NextNRG, or that the integrated entities will be able to achieve the lofty milestones set forth in the transaction agreement, or that the achievement of any of the milestones will lead to the success of the combined entities.

If the transaction closes, post transaction EzFill will continue normal operations and the below is expected to be added as additional lines of business. There will likely be a new organizational structure as a result of the requirement of the Exchange Agreement to appoint Mr. Farkas to our board of directors as Executive Chairman.

Description of NextNRG’s Business

Overview, General Nature and Scope of NextNRG’s Business

NextNRG Holding Corp. is a developmental stage, Nevada corporation working on solutions in the renewable energy/wireless electric vehicle (“EV”) charging space. NextNRG plans to develop and deploy smart microgrids coupled with renewable energy generation, battery storage and wireless EV charging solutions all over the United States, and eventually globally.

NextNRG believes that its merger with the Company/ EzFill is a component in its business plan and acquisition strategy. EzFill has many fleet customers that are already beginning the transition to electric vehicles, and by offering wireless EV charging solutions NextNRG can assist these fleet owners with their transition to EV.

Next NRG LLC (“Next NRG”), a subsidiary of NextNRG, is a development stage company working on solutions in the renewable energy/wireless EV charging space. NextNRG’s solutions are expected to be supported by exclusive licenses to seven patented technologies developed by Florida International University (“FIU”) which it acquired from Stat-EI Inc. These technologies were tested on the largest smart grid dataset in the world. The patents target two different renewable energy industry sectors - smart microgrids/Virtual power plants (“VPP”), and wireless power transfer (“WPT”) technology, created to wirelessly charge EVs. The licenses purchased from SEI are exclusive and worldwide, and require milestone payments of $75,000 upon the achievement of $2.0 million in net revenues and an annual royalty payment of $50,000 in 2024, $60,000 in 2025 and $75,000 for each year thereafter (in the case of microgrid technologies) and $40,000 in 2024, $50,000 in 2025 and $60,000 for each year thereafter (in the case of the wireless charging technologies), subject to the receipt of change of control fee ($350,000 in the case of microgrid technologies and $300,000 in the case of the wireless charging technologies).

The main drivers of renewable energy can be summarized in the following points:

NextNRG believes that through strategic deployment it should be able to build and operate clean energy systems on commercial properties, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, parking garages, large rural tracts of land, recreational facilities, tribal land, and federal, state, county, and municipal properties. The clean energy systems will help customers gain access to electricity where not otherwise available, reduce electricity bills, progress towards decarbonization targets and support resource management needs throughout their asset lifecycles. NextNRG expects its primary product offering will be entering into leases or easements with building or landowners and revenue contracts to sell the power generated by the solar energy system to those landowners, or various commercial, utility, municipal and community solar off-takers. In addition to the sale of clean power, NextNRG plans to address customer needs through wireless EV charging and energy storage offerings, and where applicable, the delivery of gasoline.

The primary challenge that the renewable sources market faces is the uncertainty around energy generation. This problem leads to system supply/demand imbalances that can interrupt power and increase costs. FIU’s Artificial Intelligence (“AI”)/Machine Learning (“ML”)-based patented technologies increase forecasting accuracy and efficiency and allow users to combine renewable power sources to improve the power system’s resiliency. The second challenge is the cost of building renewable energy microgrids. To address this challenge, Next NRG hopes to capitalize on government incentives currently available for the deployment of renewable energy solutions. NextNRG believes its offerings will provide multiple advantages to future customers relative to the status quo, such as:

In simple terms, a microgrid is a small-scale power grid that can operate independently or collaboratively with other small power grids. FIU’s technology is designed to mitigate risk of utilizing renewable energy, while maximizing energy output efficiencies. Microgrids serve as an effective platform for integrating distributed energy resources (“DERs”) and achieving optimal performance in reduced costs and emissions while bolstering the resilience of a city, a building, or rural communities’ electrification systems. Additionally, they achieve cost savings through peak shaving and selling excess power to offtakers.

Upon satisfaction of related license obligations, NextNRG will benefit from a license to four patented technologies which enable the creation of smart microgrids and virtual power plants (“VPP”). The algorithms used to secure the patents were developed with the support and research of Federal agencies and have been tested and proven on the infrastructure of the largest renewable energy company in the world. Certain of the above technologies are currently being utilized with approximately 6 million of a renewable energy company’s customers. The combined technologies are referred to as the Next Smart Microgrid and potential products based on these technologies are explained in more detail below.

The RenCast Predictor (US Patent No. 11022720)

Smart Microgrid Controller (US Patent No. 10326280)

The Battery State of Charge (“SOC”) System (US Patent No. 10969436)

Battery storage is vital. It supports integrating and expanding renewable energy sources, such as solar power, while reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Storing excess energy generated during periods of high renewable generation (sunny or windy) helps mitigate the reliability issues associated with renewable power sources. This equipment can dramatically improve electrification in rural areas, on tribal lands, and in low-income communities in-need of clean, reliable power. Battery energy storage systems provide a versatile and scalable solution for energy storage and power management, load management, backup power, and improved power quality.

The Portable Emergency AC Energy (“PEACE”) Controller

The RenCast Predictor, the Smart Microgrid Controller, Battery SOC, and PEACE Controller can be combined to turn a renewable energy microgrid into a “smart” system that uses AI/ML to increase the system’s efficiencies by up to 10%. Next’s smart microgrid solution aggregates accurate estimates of future energy generation and SOC and programs the Smart Microgrid Controller to optimize the energy use based on the customer’s needs.

HOPES Controller (“VPP”)

The HOPES Controller will be able to:

The first deployments of the NextNRG Smart Microgrid are expected to be on tribal land in the United States. The reason NextNRG is targeting tribal land is because, in 2022, the U.S. Energy Department’s Office of Indian Energy issued a report citing that nearly 17,000 tribal homes were without electricity, with most being in southwestern states and in Alaska. Assistant Secretary for Indian Affairs Mr. Bryan Newland testified before Congress that 1 in 5 homes on the Navajo Nation and more than one-third of homes on the neighboring Hopi reservation are without electricity. Our goal is to work with the Native American Tribes to reduce this number to zero.

At each location where the NextNRG Smart Microgrid is deployed, NextNRG plans to evaluate the possibility of deploying NextNRG’s wireless EV charging solutions. These solutions are explained in more detail below.

Wireless EV charging uses resonant electromagnetic induction to transmit a current, this process is also known as “inductive charging” or “wireless power transfer” (“WPT”). Wireless charging utilizes a charging pad installed in the ground and a similar pad installed on the bottom of a car, when the pads align, charging automatically begins.

Wireless EV charging offers several benefits:

Wireless Charging Parking Bumper (US Patent No. 10836269B2)

NextNRG’s primary patent covers an electric vehicle charging station, designed as a bumper which ensures proper alignment between the vehicle’s battery charger and the charger pad in the charging station.

NextNRG believes its parking bumper patent is the key to commercializing wireless EV charging, the automated verification and payment system is expected to be the most seamless way to start a charge.

NextNRG also holds the exclusive license for three patents in the WPT space - two for the static transfer of energy and one for the dynamic transfer of energy. The licensed WPT solutions are based on a unique analog architecture. The static solution also provides a bi-direction (grid to vehicle and vehicle to grid) power transfer which allows a charged EV to serve as a reserve generator for the home in case of power failure.

Bidirectional Wireless Power Transfer (US Patent No. 10637294B2)

This patent describes a system capable of wirelessly transferring power in both directions. This technology is designed for efficient and safe power exchange, which could be particularly useful in scenarios where power needs to be sent back to the grid.

Advancements in Inductive Power Transfer (US Patent No. 9919610B1)

This patent focuses on enhancing the capabilities of wireless power transfer systems. The improvements include increasing the efficiency of power transfer, extending the longevity of the system and broadening its applicability across various contexts.

Wireless EV Charging Station for Static and Dynamic Charging (US Patent No. 9731614B1)

This patent details a wireless charging station specifically designed for EVs. It has the capability to charge EVs both when they are stationary (static) and while they are in motion (dynamic). The dynamic charging allows for continuous charging, potentially revolutionizing the way EVs maintain battery levels.

To date, NextNRG’s static and dynamic solutions have been designed and prototypes are being tested at 25 kwh of output in a laboratory environment at FIU, with plans to expand the output capacity to 1mwh and above. NextNRG expects for this static WPT solution to automate EV charging such that drivers do not need to do anything to charge. There are no cables inside or outside of the car. NextNRG’s static and dynamic solutions are not expected to be affected by rain, snow, ice, dust, or dirt. They will be a clean and safe way to charge EVs.

NextNRG expect that its static WPT systems will be bidirectional, this means that they will support connecting grid-to-vehicle (“G2V”) and vehicle-to-grid (“V2G”). NextNRG is unaware of any other WPT system which has V2G capabilities. For homeowners who want to deploy solar and microgrid solutions at their home, with our WPT system we expect for those homeowners to be able to utilize their car as a battery storage system. Additionally, in emergency outage situations homeowners with our WPT system will be able to maintain power by using our V2G capabilities.

Additionally, through an integration with our the Smart Microgrid deployments, NextNRG plans for its WPT systems to be able to integrate with the grid to help create a resilient network to handle disaster conditions. For example, during a hurricane in areas with power outages, EVs with V2G capability would be able to power hospitals, homes, and other critical infrastructure to create a reliable, longer lasting energy source.

NextNRG expects for its dynamic WPT solution to be implemented on highways and public roads so it can provide essentially unlimited range for EVs without plugging-in or stopping for recharging. These solutions will revolutionize the future of transportation systems. NextNRG is working with FIU to deploy the dynamic WPT solution as a pilot for use on their campus and demonstrate its capabilities.

NextNRG believes that it is positioning itself to be able to offer a combination of: (i) wireless charging outputs from 25kwh to over 1mwh; (ii) bi-directional wireless charging; and (iii) both static and dynamic wireless EV charging.

 The microgrid, solar, and EV Charging markets in the U.S. have been growing steadily with the presence of key players engaged in research and development to increase efficiency and decrease the cost of the components. NextNRG believes the confluence of multiple clean energy trends creates a significant market opportunity. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (“EIA”), the U.S. spends $400 billion on electricity each year, of which $200 billion is spent on Commercial & Industrial properties. It is expected that an additional $98 billion of investment will be required to meet the country’s 2030 sustainability goals. Renewable energy microgrids have proven an effective tool to help customers, expand electrical grid capabilities, gain access to electricity where it is not easily accessible, respond to, and prepare for, natural disasters, and bring down electricity costs. Additionally, renewable energy microgrids are a viable solution for countries who would like to scale their renewable energy production and lessen their dependence on foreign oil supply. Finally, we believe it is necessary to rapidly increase the scale and scope of renewable generation assets in the U.S. in order to meet the various targets and commitments set by corporations and governments.

Agreements and Collaborations

License Agreement with Florida International University

NextNRG has purchased exclusive licenses to a portfolio of seven patents owned by FIU. NextNRG is be obligated to pay fixed royalty payments for the licenses to FIU on an annual basis. The terms of the licenses shall continue for the life of the patents or until terminated by either party, pursuant to the terms of the licenses. NextNRG will also have certain performance obligations pursuant to the terms of the licenses.

Intellectual Property

NextNRG is the owner of US Patent No. 10,836,269 B2 which is a patent for an inductive charging parking bumper with automatic payment processing.

Next’s licenses from FIU relate to the following U.S. patents covering wireless electric vehicle charging: US Patents Numbered: 10637294; 9919610; and 9731614.

NextNRG has also filed trademark applications for “NextCharge,” “Next Charge,” “NextNRG,” “NextCharging,” “NextNRG,” “Next NRG,” and the Next logo.

NextNRG owns the domain names: NextCharging.com and NextNRG.com

Regulatory

Although NextNRG is not regulated as a public utility in the United States under applicable national, state or other local regulatory regimes where it conducts business, it expects to compete primarily with regulated utilities. As a result, it has developed and is committed to maintaining a policy team to focus on the key regulatory and legislative issues impacting the entire industry. It believes these efforts help it better navigate local markets through relationships with key stakeholders and facilitate a deep understanding of the national and regional policy environment.

To operate its systems, NextNRG will need to obtain interconnection permission from the applicable local primary electric utility. Depending on the size of the solar energy system and local law requirements, interconnection permission will be provided by the local utility directly to NextNRG and/or future customers. In almost all cases, interconnection permissions are issued on the basis of a standard process that has been pre-approved by the local public utility commission or other regulatory body with jurisdiction over net metering policies. As such, no additional regulatory approvals are required once interconnection permission is given.

NextNRG’s future operations will be subject to stringent and complex federal, state and local laws, including regulations governing the occupational health and safety of our employees and wage regulations. For example, it is subject to the requirements of the federal Occupational Safety and Health Act, as amended (“OSH Act”), and comparable state laws that protect and regulate employee health and safety. NextNRG endeavors to maintain compliance with applicable OSH Act and other comparable government regulations.

Government Incentives

Federal, state and local government bodies provide incentives to owners, distributors, system integrators and manufacturers of solar energy systems to promote solar energy in the form of rebates, tax credits, payments for renewable energy credits (“RECs”) associated with renewable energy generation and exclusion of solar energy systems from property tax assessments. These incentives should enable NextNRG to lower the price it will charge future customers for energy from, and to lease, solar energy systems, helping to catalyze customer acceptance of solar energy as an alternative to utility-provided power. In addition, for some investors, the acceleration of depreciation creates a valuable tax benefit that reduces the overall cost of the solar energy system and increases the return on investment.

The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IRA”), which was passed in August 2022, substantially changed and expanded existing federal tax benefits for renewable energy. The IRA extended the existing framework for investment tax credits (“ITC”) offered by the federal government under Section 48(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) for the installation of certain solar power facilities owned for business purposes. Prior to the IRA, if construction on the facility began before January 1, 2020, the amount of the ITC available was 30%, if construction began during 2020, 2021, or 2022 the amount of the ITC available was 26%, with additional step downs in later years. Projects placed in service before January 1, 2022 are still set at 26%. However, with the enactment of the IRA, solar power facilities installed between 2022 and 2032 will receive a 30% ITC of the cost of installed equipment for ten years so long as the facilities meet wage and apprenticeship requirements or are less than 1 MWac, which will decrease to 26% for solar power facilities installed in 2033 and to 22% for solar power facilities installed in 2034; and for those solar power facilities installed in 2022, the ITC has increased from 22% to 30% if the ITC has not yet been claimed. The prevailing wage rates also must be paid for alteration and repair during the 5 years after a project is placed in service.

Pursuant to the IRA, certain ITC projects are eligible for a 10% domestic content bonus so long as the facilities meet wage and apprenticeship requirements, if all the steel and iron are produced in the United States and at least 40% of the facility is produced in the United States, which domestic content percentage requirement increases for facilities that start construction after 2024 and eventually reach 55% for projects which begin construction in 2027 or later.

Pursuant to the IRA, certain ITC projects are eligible for an additional 10% or 20% energy community bonus so long as the facilities meet wage and apprenticeship requirements, and if the facility owner applies for and receives an environmental justice allocation from the Internal Revenue Service (the “IRS”). Solar (and certain related storage) facilities that are less than 5 MWac that are either located in a low-income community or on Indian land or are part of a qualified low-income residential building project or a qualified low-income economic benefit project qualify. For example, qualified low-income economic benefit projects can receive a 20% bonus if low-income households receive at least one-half of the financial benefits. The IRS provided taxpayers guidance in Notice 2023-18 for determining the requirements for allocation of the ITC bonus. The IRA also included additional incentives, including in relation to stand-alone storage and claiming interconnection costs under the ITC in certain situations.

Additionally, the Inflation Reduction Act has secured historic levels of funding specifically for Tribal Nations and Native communities, including $32 billion in the American Rescue Plan, $13 billion in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, and more than $720 million in the IRA.

The U.S. Department of Energy’s Clean Energy for Low Income Communities Accelerator partnered with state and local leaders that committed $335 million to help 155,000 low-income households access renewable energy and efficiency to save up to 30% or more on energy bills.

In addition to the incentives at the federal government, more than half of the states, and many local jurisdictions, have established property tax incentives for renewable energy systems that include exemptions, exclusions, abatements and credits. Approximately thirty states and the District of Columbia have adopted a renewable portfolio standard (and approximately eight other states have some voluntary goal) that requires regulated utilities to procure a specified percentage of total electricity delivered in the state from eligible renewable energy sources, such as solar energy systems, by a specified date. To prove compliance with such mandates, utilities must surrender solar renewable energy credits (“SRECs”) to the applicable authority. Solar energy system owners such as our investment funds often are able to sell SRECs to utilities directly or in SREC markets. While there are numerous federal, state and local government incentives that benefit our business, some adverse interpretations or determinations of new and existing laws can have a negative impact on NextNRG’s business.

Manufacturing and Supply

NextNRG plans to purchase equipment, including solar panels, inverters, batteries, wireless charging station components from a variety of manufacturers and suppliers. If one or more of the suppliers and manufacturers that NextNRG relies upon to meet anticipated demand reduces or ceases production, it may be difficult to quickly identify and qualify alternatives on acceptable terms. In addition, equipment prices may increase in the coming years, or not decrease at the rates it has historically experienced, due to tariffs or other factors. Eventually, NextNRG believes it will be manufacturing some, if not all, of its products in-house.

Employees

As of May 1, 2024, NextNRG had 6 full-time employees.

Facilities

NextNRG leases approx. 3,000 square feet of office space, located at 407 Lincoln Road, Ste 9F, Miami Beach, FL 33139.

EzFill’s platform aligns with NextNRG’s goal of developing refueling stations nationwide. By integrating with EzFill’s platform, NextNRG’s fueling centers can promote a unified, forward-thinking approach to refueling services where both ICE and EV refueling/recharging services co-exist. As EVs continue to claim a larger market share of vehicle sales, traditional gas station investments are poised to decline in value. This shift augments the potential value of EzFill’s app-based fuel delivery services, especially with the decline in traditional gas stations. By leveraging EzFill’s distinct proficiency in app-based fuel delivery, this venture is positioned not only as today’s premier integrated ICE provider but also as the EV trailblazer of tomorrow. Therefore, we believe that the planned acquisition of NextNRG will create a leader in the ICE fueling, wireless EV charging, and the broader renewable energy solutions industry.
