Blink reached an agreement with $BLNK investors for $3M to settle claims over misleading about the stations condition, partnerships, and network growth.

Case Details:

In August 2020, Culper publlished a report, which featured images of severely damaged or non-functional Blink chargers, along with interviews with locals describing their issues with the chargers.

On August 19, 2020, Mariner Research Group also criticized Blink for its slow revenue growth compared to the EV industry.
  • They highlighted CEO's compensation of over $7M during this period, attributing the slow growth to product quality and customer churn.
Following the news, $BLNK plummeted by 22.4% on August 20, 2020.

Based on all these events, Blink was accused of the following points:
  • Blink's charging stations suffer from damage, neglect, and non-functionality.
  • Partnerships and expansions with other companies were exaggerated and growth of Blink's network was overstated.
Blink reached an agreement with $BLNK investors for $3M to settle claims over misleading about the stations condition, partnerships, and network growth.
