If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed. (Check box if appropriate.)

PART III - NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
Sono Group N.V.’s (the “Registrant”) management has been working to finalize the accounting adjustments resulting from the Registrant’s initial transition from International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) to U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In addition, the Company experienced a turnover of certain key members of the internal accounting staff, including the chief financial officer and controller. As a result, the Registrant is unable to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense. The Registrant expects to be able to file within the additional time allowed by this report.
PART IV - OTHER INFORMATION
| (1) | Name and telephone number of person to contact in regard to this notification | ||||||
| George O’Leary | 561 | 955-0727 | |||||
| (Name) | (Area Code) | (Telephone Number) | |||||
| (2) | Have all other periodic reports required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter period that the registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no, identify report(s). ☒ Yes ☐ No | ||||||
| (3) | Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from the corresponding period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the earnings statements to be included in the subject report or portion thereof? ☒ Yes ☐ No | ||||||
|
If so, attach an explanation of the anticipated change, both narratively and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable estimate of the results cannot be made.
Previously, the Registrant’s financial statements were prepared in accordance with IFRS as permitted in the United States under the status of a “foreign private issuer” as defined under Rule 3b-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of June 30, 2024, the Registrant determined that it no longer qualified as a “foreign private issuer” under the Securities and Exchange Commission rules. Consequently, the Registrant is now required to prepare its consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Due to differences in accounting treatments between IFRS and U.S. GAAP, certain amounts historically reported for the Registrant’s financial position, operating results, and cash flows under IFRS will change under U.S. GAAP standards, and therefore, will be incomparable to amounts previously reported under IFRS for all previous periods.
Also as disclosed in our interim financial report for the first half of 2024 as filed on December 6, 2024 on form 6K, the company completed a restructuring in February 2024 and as a result expect to have substantial income as a result of the reconsolidation compared to 2023. | |||||||
